- I thought we would take a trip back down to "The Royal Scam" and finish up the songs we missed on the first playthrough. I know that a lot of folks wanted me to do "Green Earrings" and now I see why. Holy shit. That was incredible. What a solo. and then there was one from Carlton in "Everything You DId".... this album is a masterpiece. Hands down.

The Royal Scam is a masterpiece, for sure. Many prefer it over Aja because it sounds a little less polished, but anyone can make an argument that all of their other albums are the best. That’s why SD is so revered. Thanks for the Steely Dan twofer.
The Royal Scam is their best album(by a nose over Aja). All greatness.
RIP Walter Becker
Every song on The Royal Scam is perfect.
RS is my favorite, for sure.
💯
@@rorystorm4284 Yup.
Green Earrings is ridiculous. The peak of Western Music!
The "Hotel California" line "They stab it with their steely knives" was a response to "Turn up The Eagles, the neighbors are listening" from "Everything You Did".
This is a fun one. A pair of Green Earrings were once owned by this "boyfriends" woman. This boyfriend stole her earrings for cash. She knows he stole them, because he has done it many times before, he pokes fun at her for the anger in her eyes....
He also stole her: "Greek Medallion that sparkles when you smile, sorry, Angle, I get hungry like a child"....
There's also a cryptic message for those with ears to hear it
Although not explicitly stated, probably getting cash to feed his Jones ("I get hungry like a child").

Please, please, please do SIGN IN STRANGER from the Royal Scam album! I believe it is the final one from this album, you haven't done...you might as well finish it now. Lol... I'm sure you will love it! It's such a cool song. As usual, the instrumentation is top notch! Especially, the drums and piano!.... Thank you for reacting to Green Earrings! One of my favorites!
I’m glad you enjoyed!! I think I’m doing FM next week but I’ll try and keep yours in mind. Maybe I will do both lol
@@L33Reactssteely dan doesn't make a bad song they're all good !
@L33Reacts...Why not? That's a great idea! 👍 Lol
Ahhhh, Sign in Stranger is the BEST
"I jump out of my easy chair / It was not my own!" 48 years since I bought this album, that line still cracks me up.
🎉 Easily they best album. Every cut shmokin
My Steely Dan interests lead me to be a huge Larry Carlton fan. I sat second row center at a LC concert, in 1987, Charlotte NC.
Whole album is really good
Aja and the Royal Scam are both gems with different facets. Katy Lied is my sentimental favorite with Jeff Porcaro on drums.
See Steely Dan live if you can with Donald. I've been to perhaps 25 shows starting in 1974, including an unbelievable show in Paris. You owe it to yourself. Life is truly short.
I saw Steely Dan in 2022, and it was impeccable. The only act I've seen that rivals the quality of Steely Dan's outdoor mix is Van Morrison (who, coincidentally, I had also seen prior that same year).
Green Earrings is so damn funky! Often my go-to drive album.
So glad you finally hit Green Earrings, so so fine! Definitley check out the song, Trans Island Skyway from Fagen's Kamakiriad album, you'll love it!
I’ve only known Pretzel Logic from the 70s.
I enjoyed both songs, the jazzy Green Earrings and the swing of Everything You Did”. Steely Dan has such a quirky unique sound. I like it a lot. It’s good to get to hear them.
Thank you, Lee!
I keep going back and forth on which album I like better, Aja or The Royal Scam and ultimately I just say "what difference does it make?", you own them both so just shut up and listen to 'em! And then, I put on Gaucho! 🎹🎸🎷
😂😂😂😂😂😂 sounds like me
There are major chords, minor chords, diminished, augmented and then there are Steely Dan chords. Their progressions are innnnnnnsane.
Happy Father's Day, Lee ~ ~ ~ and to All the Dads listening today ~ 🙂
Steely Dan is your favorite bands favorite band
Hell yes Lee! These are my favorite songs off Royal Scam, their best album to me!
Steely Dan is the masters of the fade out tease.
I do not know how I have never heard this SD song. This is the music my parents and their friends did drugs and danced to, while I was in the crib. Bodhistiva was a nursery rhyme for me. Thanks for the first track.
For a split second, the album artwork looked Like Dehumanizer - the 3 out of 4 Dio+Sabbath+Apice. TV Crimes and the song I. Never get old.
My favorite since the first time I heard it.
Love Everything You Did.
You can't go wrong with The Dan.
Crispy Dan!
I love Aja but I really think this is my favorite album.
Glad you went back for these two. Green Earrings is special
Time for you to discover the Dan's Grammy-winning Two Against Nature album and Fagan's amazing solo album, Morph the Cat.
I am sorta teasing myself...I wanna see your react to those Doors tunes but also wanna see this one...so I wait in total patience and enjoyment...😁
Somebody needs to get you some drums or a conga.
I know you want to play along with this. 🤩
Love these songs! Both so different!
Turn up the Eagles the neighbors are listening.
screw the eagles !
Not too many people know the story behind that line
steely dan doesn't make a bad song they're all good !
Life is short. Buy the tickets.
Go see Steely Dan if you can.
So true.
Happy Father's Day, Lee,
A funkier and more guitar-driven Dan is as good as it gets.
Damn juicy twofer!
You want to see something impressive Google Steely Dammed 2 it's a local band of All-Star musicians here in San Diego... Hank Easton does all the guitar solos and their note for note perfect... In fact I'm going to go see them on Tuesday at the Belly up
Get used to the fade, bro!
The Royal Scam is a better album than Aja and I will genuinely believe that until I die. It’s got more songs, more variety, the lyrics throughout are way better than on Aja, there are like 5 famous guitar solos (on Green Earrings it’s Denny doing the first solo kinda jazzy and then Elliot Randall does the completely unhinged solo with that crazy bubbly effect), the Royal Scam is darker, edgier, Fagens vocals are better than on Aja, I just think it’s better all around and I love Aja of course. I think Scam is the best example of what Steely Dan were great at, perfectly mixing jazz and rock
That opening is implicating. I would recommend surrender. I will find you.
Lee you complained while the solo was playing 😢
You talked all over some key moments in Green Earrings. Can't you talk about your shirt and dislike for fades after it finishes?
Dude you talk too much
