You know guys, I've been watching your reactions for a long time now because you absolutely 'get' the music and what it does to you both, is exactly the same as it does to me too. You always know what you're gonna get from a Steely Dan track. Pure musical genius songwriting and performing. They always offer the perfect combination of jazz and rock and they do it like no other band. Sadly, Walter Becker died a few years ago and he was one of the geniuses behind the songwriting and performing, but the likes of Donald Fagan and others have kept the band's incredible musical legacy alive. There's no other band like Steely Dan.

Jazz Rock fusion sometimes with a little blues, a little Latin flair with the best musicians in the world. Lyrics you'll never hear duplicated any where else. Get into the lyrics. They paint of vivid picture, often telling historical stories, like Kid Charlemagne and the Royal Scam. Steely Dan is it's own genre. They're outside the box. Often said to be your favorite band's favorite band.
@jeffcampbell6683 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure how many people realize the incredible studio musicians that Becker and Fagen tapped into during the 70's when they were in their heyday. Do the research on these musicians that worked with Steely Dan in the studio. There are bio's where some of these musicians are interviewed and talk about just how much work and rehearsal went into putting the albums together. The proof of the results are in the final product. Absolute bliss. A feast for the senses. And I'm a Queen nut. High praise for Steely Dan indeed. I'm not comparing the 2 musically, I'm suggesting that both bands strove for perfection in the studio. Cheers.
