Steely Dan

[Megadeth666]

Ok ..Might just be a thread for the older fockers here...but WHO KNOWS STEELY DAN


Walter Becker and Donald Fagen

I got almost all their albums ,and lots in cd's,and a few dvd's , but as I was listening again to Kid Charlemagne, it really made me wonder..cause if you know Steely Dan ..they write most of their music based on truth ..so I looked further into this song..

Now here a link to the song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5EQaEHNeco ...and
Now here is the "Rest of the Story" ( in memory of Paul Harvey), to that song http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kid_Charlemagne

Any thoughts , or other favorite Steely Dan's tunes would be appreciated

Great band.
Never saw them live; but I did see Skunk Baxter live in a little dive bar in Syracuse in the early '90's......Awesome

Steely Dan is a good band. I love the intro to Ricki(SP?) Don't Lose that Number.

I've always liked their music... saw them in concert for the first time long ago
in a show with The Grassroots as the headliners. But Steely Dan and Little Feat
played first... and both those bands totally blew everyone away.

No real stretch here but this was always my favorite of theirs:

A true musicians band.

Aja is still the best song to use to test out a high-end sound system and/or to ring a room.

If you are a Steely Dan fan and haven't heard "Alive in America", buy it ASAP. It's incredible to believe it's actually a live recording.

Steely Dan was really only 2 dudes (Walter Becker and Donald Fagan), they used a lot of the same "session players", but 1 of my favorites got to be Micheal Mc Donald from the Doobies, you can really hear his back ground vocals in Bad Sneakers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_fdJNeLlIs almost sounds like the Doobies

[...] they used a lot of the same "session players" [...]

It's the guitar solo on Kid Charlemagne that made me notice Larry Carlton . . . who I linked above.

STEELY DAN
A dildo in the William Burroughs novel 'Naked Lunch'. According to Burroughs, the first Steely Dan was a metal dildo that an evil German bulldyke prostitute crushed using her nether regions, and the second Steely Dan is still in use.
