Welcome to my channel! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I've loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on KZread, which eventually turned into a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I've evolved into doing other things on KZread. For years now I've wanted to create a music channel on KZread, and recently just figured "why not?", so it’s time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.

There are NO LABELS or Categories for Steely Dan. The Music is simply known as Steely Dan.
"Your favorite band's favorite band." Not sure if still applies but it sure seemed to twenty years ago. Long live "The Dan."
When listening to Steely Dan, first groove to the music. Lyrics are important and their lyrics are usually clever but the sound must come first. IMHO
Steely Dan is the genre! Your favorite bands favorite band! Still🔥🤘✌
Shaun leads into the song telling us about the good messages Steely Dan gives in their songs…and then we hear a song about a desperate guy who likely killed his father,has taken hostages and threatening to use dynamite. 😂 wait till he gets to “Everyone’s Gone To The Movies” or “Cousin Dupree” or even “Haitian Divorce”

It's hard to pick a favorite but this might be my favorite Steely Dan song.
There are no bad Steely Dan songs ~ ~ ~ FYI.... "In a 1977 interview with NPR, Fagen said of the song: “It’s about a guy who’s completely beyond hope, but he’s still got a shred of dignity in there somewhere.”
Great to see your appreciation for this!!! I just saw Steely Dan again a month ago. They opened for some band named Eagles. Definitely recommend off this album "The Caves of Altamira"!!!!!
incredible STEELY song from an album with one of the greatest cover images of all time. the amazing larry carlton - played on over 100 gold records thru the years. still playing that smooth stuff at 76 years old.
The lead guitar player is Larry Calton who is a famous Jazz guitar player. Check out his solo albums. This song is still a smooth jazz tune with hints of Rock. ❤

Larry is still performing and worth checking out on youtube! Definitely check out his Wiki page! Amazing career.
Such a favorite song! Play this album all the time...♥️🎶
I absolutely love every micro-detail of this bass guitar line. Man, what a killer song.
Love this album. Sign in Stranger is the deep cut.
You should tey Black Friday one of these days. Their lyrics are always ridiculously interesting and entertaining and it absolutely rocks. Maybe their hardest rocker. "When Black Friday comes, im gonna stand down by the door, and catch the grey men when the dive from the 14th floor"...just a sampling of the lyrics which drip with cynicism and resignation. Spectacular.
Awesome song....and they have so MANY!
Steely Dan are story tellers. Most songs are brilliant short stories with well drawn characters on top of superb music and production. They're one of a kind, except Donald Fagan's solo work sounds like a SD extension. From this album, Green Earrings is a must hear!
1:36 Dawning of The Steely Dan Smile 👐🏻
Every once in a while you see that discussion question, "what song intro do you hear that makes you turn the volume up?". For me it's this. By the time that first arpeggio is picked through, I've got the volume up. Somebody else said it, but it's hard to improve on the description. Steely Dan's genre is, Steely Dan.
Hostage movies were hot at the time. Dog Day Afternoon was an example of a “bank robbery gone wrong” where they took hostages and held out making demands. I assume this song was loosely inspired by that. But Donald probably thinks that sounds hack.
One of my very favorite from the Dan. You've done the best two songs from the album. Figured you would dig one/ That guitar bites!
Man, that smile on your face throughout the whole song says it all.
Pop music does not get any better than this.
My favorite guitar intro.
Larry Carlton playing lead guitar.
It's a good one. Just like most of the others they wrote and recorded. Great Band.
Larry's note choices are always unexpected...he uses a lot of Triad pairs :)
I'm a singer in a Dan tribute band, and this is my favourite as a vocalist. Really great lyrics. Also, Carlton's guitar work is just stunning. How many bands can successfully start a song with a guitar solo as brilliant as this?
That bass 🔥🔥🔥
You label this genre as Steely Dan. They created it. Hell, they created a chord structure. Steely Dan is credited with creating the mu major chord, also known as the "μ chord". This chord is a major triad with an added 2, and is characterized by the major 2 interval between the 2 and the 3. The mu chord is often used in jazz circles and is distinctive to Steely Dan
The Steely Dan 'Gaucho' albums has some really great songs 'Babylon Sisters', 'Hey Nineteen' and 'Glamour Profession' - all amazing songs I think you would love to hear. Thanks for all the hard work.
Amazing song and amazing album 🔥
One of my favorite bands❤️. Love Steely Dan. Thanks for the great reaction! ☮️❤️😎
It's just poetry man. The ambiguity of the words is part and parcel of the overall musical conception which defies category. We can dwell on these songs for ever.
Dan and Yes invented Progressive Rock!!! None Better!!!
Another great song talking about impending death is "Home At Last" on the Aja album.

Its imagery and references throughout are taken from the ancient Greek poem "The Odyssey" by Homer, displaying Fagen's and Becker's familiarity with great literature and its themes. Nothing there about impending death, though. Quite the opposite, since Hercules knew how to outwit the Sirens (monsters) who lured most sailors to their death on the rocks.
He's a fugitive from killing his dad, and he's barricaded himself in a cabin in the woods of Oregon, and he has a case of Dynamite. The FBI is outside and have surrounded him and are talking to him over a megaphone to give himself up. His reply is "Don't take me Alive." Not a good situation, but a damn good song.
Great album. Steely Dan is my second favorite band. The first is XTC.
Larry Catlton also known as Mr. Taste
No others sit “in this realm”😉
maybe the best effin guitar intro ever
Even the so called music critics back then called Steely Dan lyrics " cryptic and dismaying"..
Why wait for the guitar solo might as well start with it!!!….Sense!
How many bands have started a song with a guitar solo? If you have Larry Carlton, why not???
Shawn you only have another 40 more great ones to go. Try reacting to My Old School.
I Believe Larry Carlton does the solo!!!
Hey Nineteen
Do you know how they got their name? 😅
i crossed my old man means he stole from his father, probably in a bookkeeping way
Don't try to pigeon hole this band. Try Sign In Stranger. Also on this record. With Steely Dan every song is it's own thing, really no two alike.
Not to mention the very cynical lyrics, about a desperate man with nothing to lose.
It's impossible to pigeonhole Steely Dan.
