Steely Dan cannot be denied.So smooth. Those background singers Wow.

Steely Dan has that cool jazz vibe oozing through every song. You could pick any song at random by them and have the same positive reaction. My favorite: “FM (No Static at All)”

Do a deep dive on these guys..You will not be sorry!..Absolute masters in a studio.

STEELY DAN, PUT THE GROOVE IN GROOVY IN THOSE ENDLESS DREAMY 70'S.... ET AL SONGS "REELING IN THE YEARS" , "JOSIE", "PEG", "FM", "AJA", "DO IT AGAIN", AND MANY MORE....

From Start To Finish, "AJA" Is One Of The Most Unique And Impeccable Works Of Steely Dan's [At This Point Consisting Of Donald Fagen & Walter Becker With A Host Of Stellar Session Players] Illustrious Catalog. From "Can't Buy A Thrill" 1972 To "Everything Must Go" 2003 [After Which Walter Becker Died In 2017] Along With Subsequent Shows, Fagen's Dream Band Carved A Unique Niche In American Jazz Pop Music. Band Members-Past & Present: Donald Fagen - lead vocals, keyboards (1972-1981, 1993-present) Former members Walter Becker - guitar, bass, backing and lead vocals (1972-1981, 1993-2017; his death) Jeff "Skunk" Baxter - guitar, backing vocals (1972-1974) Denny Dias - guitar (1972-1974, studio contributions until 1977) Jim Hodder - drums, backing and lead vocals (1972-1974; died 1990) David Palmer - backing and lead vocals (1972-1973) Royce Jones - backing and lead vocals, percussion (1973-1974) Michael McDonald - keyboards, backing vocals (1974, studio contributions until 1980) Jeff Porcaro - drums (1974, studio contributions until 1980; died 1992) Though ALL Of Their Albums Produced Landmarks In Music, "Aja" Remains The Most Successful And Universally Loved Album In Their Catalog. Much Of Their Yet Unreleased Sessions Were Destroyed In The Infamous[And In My Mind-Highly Suspicious, As UMG Is One Of The Prevalent Reasons For "Copyright" YT Takedowns] Universal Music Group Fire In 2008. In March 2001, Steely Dan was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. #RicFromBelmond

Don't take this the wrong way RAndrew but how the fuck could you skip over Larry Carlton (guitar) and Bernard Purdie (Drums)?

Steely Dan is like a duo that hires all the best session players to make awesome jazz funk pop music

I got this album in 1979 still listen to it to this day now that’s music

Steve Dan is all about great bass grooves,great engineering and production. The were pretty much perfection.

Steely Dan has a truckload of great songs.

Liked the reaction man, you should check out “Kid Charlemagne” from Steely Dan and you will here another sample from another huge hip hop record. Steely Dan has SO many great songs...

Absouloutly correct. I can't think of one Dan track I dislike. They were the underated kings of cool.

Steely Dan are special guys and they brought in the best musicians to create great music.Aja is a top album.✌

You are going to really REALLY enjoy some Steely Dan. I am excited for you man! And yes, Steely Dan in the morning sets a mighty mighty good tone for the day :-)

This band is so smooth and their catalogue is really expansive, so many great songs. You really can't go wrong no matter what song you listen to they are all awesome!

You can never go wrong with the genius that is Steely Dan. Check out their body of work and take your time loving it. Can’t Buy a Thrill is loaded with goodies.

I love the way you give the song respect and let it immerse you in its world. Great analysis too I enjoyed this a lot!

You’re at ease because you are listening to the greatest album of all-time. By far my favorite out of literally thousands of albums I own.

Their song composition and musicianship are top notch.

Abbra… you are hands down the BEST realest reviewer on KZread bar none. No bs on this channel people

I'm a huge Steely Dan fan. My sister gave me the Gaucho album when I was 18. It's cool to hear the crossover influence to hip-hop. Going from 70s funk jazz to hip-hop era is not about genres but music that feels good to the soul.

The Dan is the most musically sophisticated group out there. Jazz, pop, funk and rock sublime! All songs are masterpieces! This entire album is a classic- from 1979!

Steeley Dan collaborated with other extremely accomplished musicians. Michael Franks and others (of course) did the same thing and its a brilliant thing to do. Check out Night Moves from Michael Franks The Art of Tea album.

The whole album and most of their albums are reaction worthy have fun because they’re one of those groups that is truly legendary

Steely Dan is an American jazz fusion band founded in 1972 by core members Walter Becker (guitars, bass, backing vocals) and Donald Fagen (keyboards, lead vocals). Blending rock, jazz, latin music, reggae, traditional pop, R&B, blues,[2] and sophisticated studio production with cryptic and ironic lyrics, the band enjoyed critical and commercial success starting from the early 1970s until breaking up in 1981.[2] Initially the band had a core lineup, but in 1974, Becker and Fagen retired the band from live performances altogether to become a studio-only band, opting to record with a revolving cast of session musicians. Rolling Stone has called them "the perfect musical antiheroes for the Seventies".[4]

I like your style bro! Keep reacting and keep listening to that great old music. Listen to Player Baby come back.

Woo Hoo! Loved your smile the minute the music started. FM is another excellent listen and, of course, Aja. Really anything by Steely Dan is an excellent choice.

Sampling from a song is most definitely a sincere form of flattery. A song is great when other artists also appreciate its craftsmanship. There are many more S.D. songs for you to discover. The Aja album has the same vibe as this song throughout and is my go-to for relaxing. Cheers!

I would recommend the Song " time out of mind" Off of the steely dan album "gaucho".

Steely Dan...... the groove Masters

Knew you’d like them! Some other good songs are: FM, Hey Nineteen, Green Earrings, and the list goes on. You just might have to add their album Aja to your collection.

Great to see you getting into Steely Dan. Have fun!

This is just the first course of an entire album that serves up one moment of sheer musical brilliance after another --it takes your breath away and sticks hard in your mind. Personal favorite is "Home At Last," but the whole thing is genius.

Some of the finest music ever produced.

Glad to see yet another reactor initiated into the Steely Dan love! Glad you're going for Kid Charlemagne next - this album Aja and the album that song is on, The Royal Scam, are tied for my two favorite albums by them. But every single one of their albums is terrific and I hope you check them all out.

Love your "tough" phrase....you are spot on!.....Steely Dan is where its at....But would like some Stevie Wonder, and Talking Heads!

Well said. Great review. They are the best. You’ll get many happy moments listening to SD. THANK YOU SIR.

Love your channel. "GAUCHO" is Steely Dan's follow-up album to Aja (and is/was available in 5.1 channel surround sound on "DVD Audio". Tears of joy my first time. My Rival and Time out of mind stand out. Keep up the good work.

Loving you reactions and reviews man. All the best from St Neots UK.

A MASTERPIECE….

You can review ANYTHING on their album Aja. One of the best produced albums ever, sound wise. Good choice.

SD is a deep well. Tons of SD songs have been sampled. You could do a SD song every day for months and not run into a bad song. Impeccable production, songwriting, and performances. Some of my favorites: “Home At Last” “Green Earrings” “Do It Again” “Show Biz Kids” “Night By Night” “Reelin’ In The Years” “Kid Charlemagne” “Peg” I could go on...

Good memories!!......heat wave summer 1977 at Montréal,Canada ....I was 18 bike ride whit my small radio transistor..listen Steely Dan.....DO IT AGAIN (1973).

Whoo Hoo I'm so glad you are on i🤩

Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Deep Purple have so many insanely great songs after 40-50 years of listening to these bands I never tire of them!!!

Steely Dan's album -Aja, in my opinion, is a masterpiece. Every song on the album is so masterfully done. Everyone one on the musicians used were the best of the best. Check out the title song Aja, you will enjoy that one. Keep up the great reviews.

Forgot to mention, I like your sometimes use of the word "tough". I'm an old geezer and in high school in the 60's, we used to use "tough" to describe a hot girl, as in "Man, Veronica is so tough". Don't think I've ever heard the word used that way since then.

Fusion at its best and Steely Dan did not really play favorites towards any one genre/style as they incorporated many elements and fused them to create much happy music, much happy. Chillin to "the Dan" is the safest of all medicines.

One of my most favorite albums. AJA-- Got to see them live, before Walter Becker passed on. It was summer, lakefront venue in Chicago and oh, my....it was heavenly!!!! Summer in the Chi is magical....and Steely doing their thing with the breeze blowing. Damn! Just Damn!

Are you ever going down a rabbit hole now with the “Dan”! Lot’s of great songs already suggested, but their first hit classics are Reeling in the Years, Rikki Don’t Lose That Number and Do it Again! The album you just played, will go down as one of their greatest!

Steely Dan is your favorite band’s favorite band.

Best. Album. Ever. You will like

You have great taste man! Great review!

Wow love love love the tunes, this is it💖

Loving the green belt in the back!

Also give a listen to "The Fez", "Green Earrings", "Rikki Don't Lose That Number", "Hey Nineteen", "Home At Last", "Peg", "Aja", and a whole lot more.

We have two things in common. Love of Charleston SC and Steely Dan

Great review my friend, Thank You.

Abra, if you like this vibe with the jazz infused, the whole AJA album is kick ass. Their early stuff was really good too. They rarely are seen on video, prefered to put it in studio version, mainly because they thought audio for TV sucked at the time, and it did. Check out the song AJA, don't think you'll be disappointed. Peace

Oh, check out FM, PEG, RIKKI DONT LOOSE THAT NUMBER ... FIRE-ASS SONGS!!!

I'll like any Steely Dan song you react to even before I hit play!

Fyi - Steely Dan is always two guys Walter Becker (guitars, bass, backing vocals) and Donald Fagen (keyboards, lead vocals) and the best jazz cats in the world they can find to play on whatever record they're cutting in that session

This whole album, Aja, was awesome...do an album play party...put something on the grill...we'll be there.

"Uptown, baby ... " KIller jam by masters.

Aja, Can’t Buy a Thrill and Royal Scam are all tremendous albums by Steely Dan , you can play them all from start to finish.

Pretty much every Steely Dan song is perfect for chilling in the morning. You cannot go wrong with them. Several of their songs were sampled by hip hop artists. Many hip hop and rap artists say Steely Dan is one of the most important bands in history. You're just getting started. I promise you will fall in love with The Dan.

Steely Dan--brilliant music, lyrics & top notch musicians. Aja is known as their greatest album (one of the greatest of all time (IMO), but all their albums are great.
