there are no technically poor SD tracks. every song had nothing but THE BEST studio musicians Donald and Walter could assemble.. this band is made up of all the people you didnt know you loved who made so many of the songs of the 60-70-80s and 90s sound so good on the studio albums of so many famous bands..

Steely Dan is not really a rabbit hole. More of a rabbit canyon if such a thing exists. I've seem them live and I agree that they are amazingly tight. One comparable tightness wise is Union Station of Alison Kraus fame. Both are awesome treats from master musicians in a concert venue. If you have such opportunity, don't miss either.

Every album is a classic adventure into the intoxicating world of Donald and Walter. Catchy tune, but just scratches the surface of the most versatile band who refuses to be put into stereotypical categories of music. Steely Dan is in a category of their own. Thanks Polo! 👕♥️

I think what most younger folks don’t realize is just how extensive the entire catalog of Classic Rock is. To really put it in perspective, you have to understand that from around 1968 to somewhere around the mid 80s, new music at or very near this quality and caliber was dropping 2 or 3 times a week, EVERY SINGLE WEEK. The list of artists and bands who have multiple albums with multiple hits would fill a very thick volume. To say that we were spoiled is a colossal understatement. And when you compare what came after that era, maybe you can understand why so many of us just turned off the radio. No one actually plays an instrument any more and everything is digital and/or vulgar. There’s no musicianship and no genuine artistry. I’m 65 years old now and my only real consolation is that young people, like you, are discovering all this great music and I get to relive a little of the magic with you. Thank you 🙏 You are why Rock N Roll will never die. ❤

The quote that took me back to Steely Dan was from Jimmy Page who said his favorite guitar song was from Reelin in the years by Dan. He rated it a 12/10. That’s a major compliment from the master from Zep. I was thinking of recommending Do it again or FM as an intro for you. You were close on the decade though as their biggest albums were from 1972 to 1980. They were such a polished studio band that took time and love to craft nearly perfect music. I would say they were nearly totally unique as they seldom toured. They would be damn sure poor today with streaming. I would really love hearing a few more when you get to them. 🖖🏼

Bellbottoms were out of fashion by the time this song was released (1977). My Steely Dan Favorites: "Home at Last," "Pretzel Logic," "Charlie Freak," "Third World Man," "Jack of Speed," and "The Things I Miss the Most." These weren't big hits, but hidden gems.

I am envious of somebody just discovering Steely Dan. Man if only. Enjoy the entire catalog. Epic…

Ah, yes. Takes me back to dull, hazy memories of the 70's and the mellow voice of Fagen. Golden. (Listen closely to the background vocals. You will hear Michael McDonald from the Doobie Bros.)

This band did a great job on fusing jazz and rock (check out: Rikki don't lose that number) when I think of them. I think of police who blended reggae and rock so well. Even though they are so different in style.

AJA one of the best albums of all time!!! So many iconic musicians on this album. Each track is fantastic and different musicians on each track!

Nice to see you digging some Steel Dan. They made real groove of their own; unlike anything else really

This song is part of the background track of my teenage years. Walkman with headphones jogging. Now thats retro!

Steely Dan! Wow, they just make the molecules of my body feel so different from any other band. I'm going to go listen to Aja now. Thanks to whoever requested this.

This is crazy. I heard a Steely Dan tune today and it threw me back nearly 50 years to my youth. Then I looked through all of their songs saying which one should I recommend to Polo. Boom, you’re reviewing one. It’s a great thing. They’re a major player in my musical memory. Thanks again my brother from another mother. I get to enjoy this with you. 🖖🏼
