I've been listening to Steely like a Madd Man for the past two Weeks non-stop&I dig there 70's Vibe so Much."Glamour Profession" is getting much Play this Week but My Main Cut is "FM" both Versions Kick Much Booty what is your Fav Track by them??

So many favorites. Let's see, there's My Old School, Parker's Band, Through with Buzz, Monkey in your Soul, Bad Sneakers, Throw back the little ones, The Caves of Altamira, Peg, Josie, Babylon Sisters, Time out of Mind, What a Shame about Me, and Gaslighting Abbie.

Narrowed it down about as much as I could!

"Hey 19"? I like the line ("hey 19, that's Aretha Franklin she just don't remember queen of soul she thinks I'm crazy but I'm just growing old")

"Josie" and "Kid Charlamaine"

oh my goodness...


the question for me should be
"which Steely Dan songs do you NOT like?"


That list is SHORT:
Brooklyn
Show Biz Kids
St Louis East Toodle-OO
The Royal Scam
Cousin Dupree

from Donald's solo music:
"Springtime"


EVERY OTHER STEELY DAN SONG I'VE HEARD..
I LOVE
I am shamelessly a huge, gushing fan of Steely Dan!

You're listening to them a lot recently, mrMaxx??

I listen to them EVERY DAY, basically!


If I had to choose
1
Steely Dan song which epitomizes the group & what they're about..

I
might choose
"Janie Runaway"!

That song is PHAT-
the lyrics, the horns, the beat..


no 1 should ever post a Steely Dan thread here..
I could write FOR DAYS about Donald & Walter-
those are my boys!



Do you throw out your gold teeth?
Do you see.. how they roll..?

smoke

I Got The News
Your Gold Teeth II
Aja
Babylon Sisters
Green Earrings
Josie
Black Cow
Home At Last
Kid Charlemagne
Gaslighting Abbie
Show Biz Kids...blah,blah,blahhh

My fave has 2 be 'Babylon Sisters' & 'Rikki Don't Lose That Number'.

BTW, anyone who has a DVD player but hasn't yet got 'TWO AGAINST NATURE' live DVD really needs 2 pick this up. For those with a DTS surround system this has to be one of the BEST DTS DVD's on the market...incredible sound!

"Turn That Heartbeat Over Again"(1972)
"Black Cow"(1978)
"Time Out Of Mind"(1980)

Hey Nineteen
Time Out of Mind
Aja
Josie
Peg
Babylon Sisters
Black Cow

and others that I can't think of the proper names to right now.

mltijchr said:

yeah I listen to them pretty much every day.

They only "drawback" to the very high quality of their music (& all its components) is that they only put out an album very 2 or 3 years, if that! It's already been 2.5 years since 2vN came out..! Hard to believe! Hopefully they'll be putting out something new SOON..


I just can't get enough of THE DAN!!!



sorry, angels..
I must take
what I see!

mltijchr said:

they are due soon.last I heard they were in the studio.

(Ricky) Don't Loose that Number -
Asia

I definitely hope you're right, mr.maxx..
a new album should also bring about a new tour-

I missed them the last time they toured (in 2000); I was living overseas. They did pass through Paris, but I couldn't get up there to see them..



use tact, poise & reason
& gently squeeze them

Glamour Profession rules and those 7 1/2 minutes just ease by. I can always imagine the Pet Shop Boys covering this one. Fave Dan songs are

1. Peg
2. Change Of The Guard
3. Black Friday
4. Black Cow
5. FM

Peg Ricki Don't Lose That Number Josie FM Deacon Blues. And you Know that a Steely Dan is a Vibrator now Don't You?

Steely is one (two) of the very greatest! I love that band immensely. I would rather meet Fagen and Becker than I would Prince, no lie.

Babylon Sisters
FM
Everyone's Gone to the Movies
Almost Gothic

entire Gaucho album!!!

I would even say that I helped name our 2nd daughter Melanie after the friend in Janie Runaway ... despite melanie's role in the song

any world that im welcome 2
is betta
then the one
that i came from
