Steely Dan.

[Baby Huey]

Any other fans around?

I've gone from borrowing a best of from the library to getting their first 6 CDs plus Donald Fagen's Nightfly.

Every album is a classic. Cool, humorous lyrics, amazing musicianship, great sound.

I've come to the opinion they are one of the greatest bands ever.

Absolutely love 'em, there isn't a day that goes by without one of their albums getting a spin on the tt. In fact I've got Katie Lied playing right now.

"Five names that I can barely stand to hear
including yours and mine
and one more chimp who isn't here"

from "Bad sneakers" lets start a Dan favorite lyrics thread, the more enigmatic the better. Have you had a look on here? http://www.steelydandictionary.com/

"Cause tonight their arranging a small reception just for me,
behind the big casino by the sea"

Thanks for the dictionary link.

big time fan here, the staple music of choice for me.

Have all tracks from donald and walter!

"No static at all!"


Great to hear that there are others on here that appreciate the music for all the right reasons, evrything else sounds inferior in almost everyway.

Also that dictionary is great.

I can't believe I've only recently realised how good they are. Used to love the singles when I was young but had no idea the albums were so good.

Long time fan here.

You know where the name comes from right?

Have you tired an album called Zazu by Rosie Vela - which is basically a Steely Dan album with a female lead singer.

And for a lyric choice:

The cuervo gold
The fine columbian
Make tonight a wonderful thing

Cheers for the info.

I used to love Magic Smile by Rosie Vela, is that from Zazu?

The name was from Naked Lunch wasn't it?

Right now I love Royal Scam and Nightfly. They're all great though.
