Steely Dan is just so smooooth. Their music is like a warm 70's hug.

Kudos, great request, great reaction. Over 45 years, and this song still sounds fresh and I never tire of it. Safe to say Steely Dan has and will stand the test of time… as we knew they would. Thanks!

One of my favorite groups of all time. I remember hearing their first hit "Do It Again" on the radie for the first time. I knew they were something special. Check it out along with "Peg", "Hey Nineteen", "Deacon Blues", "FM" etc.

Among the best short guitar solos in rock music history. Perfection.

Thanks, really nice reaction. This song is 48 years young, and many of us have heard it hundreds of times. It never, ever grows old or outdated. The bassline is inspired by a jazz tune by the great pianist/composer/band leader Horace Silver called Song For My Father. I know that you weren't wowed by the tune Aja, but Steely Dan has many, many intoxicating, addictive grooves that you'll enjoy as you dig into their 80 song catalog.

This make me want to go back to being a kid in the 70's. I can't wait until time machines are invented!

Magic smile. You can light up any room.

I like the blend of all the instruments being played! It's a fusion of different styles of music, and they execute it quite well!

Steely Dan has been often referred to as your favorite band's favorite band. You can go deep down the rabbit hole with this group, they have so many amazing songs. AJA, Decan Blues, Home Again, My Old School, Kid Charlemagne just a name a few.

Great reaction! There are so many good Steely Dan songs. My Old School, Haitian Divorce, Dirty Work, Hey Nineteen, Peg, Pretzel Logic, East St. Louis Toodle-oo, and many many more. I don't think there is a bad Steely Dan Song.

I can't think of a Steely Dan song that isn't top notch! This is among his best! Love your reaction :)

Anything from Steely Dan is worth a listen. Kudos to the request.

These guys created their own category of music. Jazz pop.

One of my favorites from yesteryear.

I had just gotten out of the service when this came out. It takes me back to simpler times. Great song great band.

Takes me back to the days of my youth!

Steely Dan has a repertoire for 50 years plus 😊🎸

OH YEAH, one of the most memorable songs from my childhood thanks for reacting. It was great to see your beautiful smile and your hand wave dance (maybe it was a seated cha-cha). The only thing missing was the intro, some sort of percussion instrument. I remember when the box set came out (Citizen Dan?) the intro was missing too. I heard people actually mailed their set back to the record company and demanded it be added.

The dude at 1:30 is Jeff (Skunk) Baxter who in addition to playing for "The Dan", was a member of "The Doobie Brothers" and then became a consultant for the U.S. Military, chairing a Congressional Board on Missile Defense, receiving some of the highest security clearance afforded to civilians.

Quality always stands the test of time. Love that analog production.

The bass line is an homage to "Song for My Father" by Horace Silver. You should check that tune out. Steely Dan is heavily influenced by jazz players.

Another great Steely Dan tune is Home At Last, definitely check it out when you get a chance. Keep up the good work on these videos!

Nice haven't heard this in a while. Thanks for the reaction!

Great reaction! Some Steely Dan songs to do: Do It Again Deacon Blues Home at Last Reelin' in the Years

That bass line ... known by jazz fans as Horace Silver "Song for my Father".

More Steely Dan, please! 😎👍

More Steeley Dan - Black Cow, Josie, FM.

You would love the song Peg as well! It features the great Michael McDonald on backup vocals.

I still like this, even though it was played to death on the radio back in the 70’s ! I’d also like to pitch a song from a great female artist for Friday’s : Bonnie Raitt “Slow Ride”. It features some of her killer slide guitar playing and showcases her talents nicely !

There was a time in the 70s when radio stations would play the latest hit number from Steely Dan, like this one. Followed by the latest Alice Cooper, then a little something by the Isely Brothers, Tower of Power, next up Stevie Wonder followed by some Bachmann Turner Overdrive, then weather and traffic onthe eights before Dr Hook and the Medicine Show, something by the Chilites, then some Loggins and Messina, and so on all day... "And up next: Clap For the Wolfman by the Guess Who!"

"we hear you're leaving...thats ok". One of the greatest opening lines ever

Some of us might have been born to this record, such a smooth 70s sound. Throw this on when shorty at the crib and she in the mood.

If you want to hear where they got the piano riff from, listen to "Song For My Father" by Horace Silver.

@Angela Good morning. Thanks for reacting to so many wonderful songs. Still lovin' your hair. Gorgeous. ✌ 🙋

Any song by Steely Dan gets a 'like' from me. Both Donald Fagen and Walter Becker are gifted musicians, together as Steely Dan they're absolutely wonderful. You're really playing some great music, Angela. Please keep taking those requests, because it sounds great.

Hi Ms. D., I could be repeating myself, Iove Steely Dan.. ♠W.G.

Yes!!! Rikki !!! A great song and I recognize faces that later joined the Doobie Brothers.

Jesus your channel is growing more than my bills, You go girl 💜

You're right Angela... good road trip song. Thanks for the reaction.

Is it just me or does this classic stuff get better and better as time goes by?!!

That opening (and ending) groove was borrowed from Horace Silver's "Song for my Father", a classic jazz tune. Steely Dan were/are huge jazz nuts.

Deacon blues, a jazzy blues effort , is another memorable tune by steely dan.

Love steely Dan thanks

Love ya hair...................................and you could have a change of heart.

Love Steely Dan

Fantabulous

Angela nice band to react to! Can't go wrong with most of their catalog from later in the 70's e.i. Aja! I'd like to suggest a great songwriter song by Jackson Browne called The Pretender. It's thought-provoking and just plain facts going on in the lyrics. Great Americana melody as well, a real vibe, nostalgic.

If I was stuck on a desert Island and could only listen to one group....Steely Dan would be it.

We are still missing the golden years......

Steely Dan Hey Nineteen Deacon Blue

Back in the day, before all of our phones had built-in memory, a number of music artists apparently were very concerned about people losing their phone number. Phil Collins wrote a song about it, too. It was also a hit: "Don't Lose My Number" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b79mpMZev8fVimg.html

If you love this, you will love (Steely Dan's) "Any Major Dude Will Tell You" from the same album. A definite easy, feel-good, song -- good for cruising and singing along.

The song was about a very real person still alive. Now a prominent English and French Lit professor. May be retired now.

Donald Fagen is a certifiable genius. There are just too many great songs to list, but check out "Do it again".

Jim Gordon on the drums

Great pick as are all songs from Steely Dan Another one for you to react to if you haven't already: Bobby Goldsboro - Summer (The First Time)

now we're talking !

Honestly the best looking lady on theis channel. Immaculate.

Pretzel Logic (1974)

Back from a time that if you didn't write it down, you might loose that number. (no phones remembered who called).

Horace Silver - Song for Father

If you like rode music try, Golden earring, radar love. You make me smile.

This song was considered amazing when it was on the radio in 1974 and still sounds amazing in 2022. This version is 3:58 but the album version is 4:30. This version is missing the cool intro that's on the album version. Try Ambrosia's "Holdin' On To Yesterday" from 1975.

While watching a young person listen to a hit from an era before her birth is fun, I've always believed that having a person watch a band she's never heard of, even though they have been producing albums since the early '80's, is even more fun. Please do a reaction to the best band that hardly anybody has ever heard of, Marillion. Their best song is "Neverland", a passionate long song sung by a man to his long-time spouse. Marillion is almost always much better live than in the studio. Here's a link to my favorite live version: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/opl-m7GrnpOpf3U.html While the band will block attempts to upload recent releases or performances, they seem content to leave the older stuff alone, and this performance is from 2009 and your reaction will not be blocked. This is a stunningly good band, and they are still releasing new albums and touring.

Great reaction. There are no bad Steely Dan songs. Try Aja, Deacon Blues, Black Cow. Thanks!

Haven't heard this in ages. Thanks. Can you do some Meat Loaf? After the Bee Gees, he's my favorite. Start with Bat Out Of Hell, the official video. 🥰Oh, and look up how Steely Dan got their name. 🤭

I don't think we had a bad band back then. Didn't matter what genre either. Listened to them all. Charlie Pride concert one day, Metallica the next, Donna Summer, Waylon and Willie. All great!!!!

Hi Angela, I'm not sure if you've ever reacted to Steely Dan's song "PEG," if not, please do so...You'll enjoy that one too!!!

Well, you're beautiful. BUT, love the reactions. Subbed!

Walter Becker and Donald Fagan were the nucleus of the band with the great guitar work of Denny Dias. David Palmer sang the lead on a great track of theirs ' Do it again ' they had maybe 8 members of the band over time . kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qs2JqK-k2srFeoU.html all time greats .

Please please please react to the Baby's - Isn't it time, you will love it !! From the late 70's it's a real powerful groove ❤️

Now listen to the album Aja or Gaucho .

Aja. The song or the whole album.

I wonder, has anyone explained to you just what the "Dan of Steel" is?

Hi Angela,heres a consideration for friday female Cher if i could turn back time

Great song Angela need to react to Styx Peg

Ahh, High School just rushes back filling my mind as this song washes over me. One of my favorites from my teen days back in the 70s. Give the Bee Gees a listen "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" It's a another blast from the days gone bye. You wont be sorry I promise!

Great song. Here’s one you’ve probably never heard of. It’s “You’ve Made Me So Very Happy” by Blood Sweat & Tears.

Thx! The bass line reminds me of a Rascals tune called “Groovin!”

Hey Angela react to do it again and hey nineteen

I think the name Rikki could definitely be substituted for Angela! Luv ya darlin!

About a guy that had his first homosexual experience. It scared him & made him question himself.
