Kid Charlemagne or Hey Nineteen next. Think you’ll like both
*"Hey Nineteen"* is where he tells the girl to "skate a little lower now."
Both are absolute bangers
Agreed
“Rikki Don’t Lose That Number” off of their third album “Pretzel Logic”.
Guitar solo by Jeff “Skunk” Baxter before he left to play with The Doobie Brothers due to Steely Dan no longer wanting to tour.
“Rikki” was Rikki Ducornet, wife of one of Fagan's teachers, who he had a crush on and gave his number to at a party.
She never called, but she did inspire Fagan to write the song - one of their biggest commercial successes.
Backing vocals by Timothy B. Schmit who replaced Randy Meisner in the group POCO and then replaced Meisner again when he left the Eagles.
Of all the incredible guitar solos throughout Steely Dan's discography, my favorite will always be the one in "Rikki."
AQfter years of playing guitar I finally got around to learning that solo several months ago. Play it almost every time I pick my guitar up to practice.
Great Steely Dan Lyrics: “Kid Charlemagne” ❤ 😂😂😂
They are their own genre
"Bodhisattva", and "Show Biz Kids" are like nothing you've ever heard before. Every song on the "Aja" album is highly recommended. Other songs of note: "Kid Charlemagne", "Bad Sneakers", "My Old School", "Babylon Sisters", "Hey Nineteen", "Time Out of Mind". SD is my favorite band as well.
King of the World is great! When Can't Buy A Thrill came out in 1972, it wasn't pop, it was something unlike we had ever heard before.
Come on with deacon blues
Hell ......YEAH!
Hell ......YEAH!
You probably didn't notice that the lead singer on Dirty Work was different than Fagen who sang the other songs. It was David Palmer, who they added to the group because Fagen was hesitant to sing lead vocals.
Steely Dan started out a pop rock group but always had jazz rock leanings and became more jazzy and funky as they moved along.
This song was from the first album, 1972, not the late 70s. You have to pay attention to the ALBUMS.
Bodhisattva and Black Friday are badass!
The title track from their Aja album may be at the pinnacle of Steely Dan's entire catalog.
Yes!
Took me a couple of listens to get it, but it drew me in. The song is a conversation in music. Aja is Greatness.
Fireworks; It's a desert island disc.
Great reaction! You really need to check out Kid Charlemagne! I know you will love it, plus there is a special surprise in there that I think you will appreciate! You right, definitely NOT pop!
But at the time it came out in 1972, it was Pop. Not how, for sure. But it was then.
And Showbiz Kids!
Oooh, Don't Take Me Alive. You won't believe it wasn't written more recently.
Steely Dan songs are often about people (usually men) struggling to break the cycle of bad behavior (like Do it Again and Dirty Work), or just struggling to come to terms with an unfortunate situation. Not all of them of course but it is a common theme for them. I recommend hitting "My Old School" next since it's best known song on the album after this one.
Steely Dan wrote about the seamy side of life. You have to do Babylon Sisters! This album came out in 1972, not late 70's. We didn't generally have all these sub-genres back then. There was barely a start at classifying Rock into soft Rock, AOR (Album Oriented Rock), Hard Rock, Progressive Rock and so on. Most people just knew the main genres of Rock, Pop, Soul/R&B, Country. Steely Dan songs always got big airplay on radio stations so that could have influenced how it was classified.
They always had such interesting characters in their songs. Warren Zevon was another one I think of who wrote like that.
A few years back they were getting called "yacht rock" on a lot of these YT reaction channels.
I felt insulted. Loved them since they came out in the 70s. So good, so mature, musically, subject matter-wise, just a step up in anyone's musical growth, imo.
✌🏼😉🎶❤️🍁❤️✨️🕊
I had a 20 minute argument with one of my bar regulars about much I dig Steely Dan. 💯
Just getting ready to watch it but man I'm so glad you are going down this rabbit hole, this band was not only so good, but highly influential and represented some of the greatest musicians around at the time and everybody collaborated with everybody. Play it was a wonderful innovative scene.
But yeah, I know what is going to happen after I watch this reaction, that sucker is going to be stuck in my head for days, lol. 😂
You can hardly go wrong choosing the next song to react to, their catalog is Deep and it's All Great. Here's my short list:
Hey 19
F.M.
Chained Lightning
Any Major Dude
Aja
Looking forward to sharing your SD journey of discovery ✌️🙂
Oops, "Chain Lightning" 😎
You should also try "Josie."
I love this song!!! It's so different!!!
Great tune! One of my favorite steely tunes
One of 2 tracks sung by David Palmer on this, their 1st album Can't Buy a Thrill. He was gone after this, and Donald Fagen took over full-time lead vox from then on. Good move. The key to this song is "and I stay here just the same". He can go on and on about not wanting to do her dirty work, but he'll never stop coming back. So many of their songs are stories of lust, greed, addiction and betrayal with relatable, familiar, flawed, well-developed characters - their view of "the human condition". No genre - just Steely Dan.
I think you need to check out Boz Scaggs from the 70s. Start off with "Lowdown"
Thank you for reminding me how much I love Steely Dan. I've been listening to them for over 50 years and it never gets old. They're one of the few bands where I made a point of buying all their albums. But I got out of the habit (because they got out of the habit of making records for a while). Now I find there are albums I never even heard of!
Sometimes the lyrics are so cryptic I have to go look them up to find out what the song is about. Used to just listen because they were always so damn catchy; I didn't even wonder what happened at my old school, or who Rikki was. 🙂 I don't know how to categorize them.
I just listened to my entire collection of Steely Dan / Donald Fagen. Think I'll go back and do it again.
I don't know that I've ever thought of it as Pop as a genre. I do think it's a mix of jazz, prog, pop, maybe some other stuff. But that's the thing about Steely Dan is that they defy classification.
Check out the drum solo on the title cut of Aja
You need to check out Dr Wu from the album Katy Lied. It’s incredible, I would even argue perfect for what it is
You should own all of their seventies albums! I do! Amazing!
By the way the term pop music Comes from the word popular So at the time This was considered popular music.
hey nineteen is probably my favorite song by them. you should add it to your playlist
Here's your future: The next time you feel someone is trying to take advantage of you or use you - in any way - you WILL find yourself singing this chorus to yourself. And then you will be smiling as you say bye.
I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah. I don't want to do your dirty work, no more.
We've all felt this to some degree, and this is sooooo damn catchy!
Try “Josie “.
Keep going, and check a few songs that aren't on regular albums ("FM", "here at the Western world") plus albums Donald Fagen put out solo. So much good music.
if you want to hear some great lyrics, Kid Charlemagne is one of their best stories. "All those day-glo freaks who used to paint their face, they joined the human race..."
Four or five songs by Steely Dan? Dude, how great to have so many other great songs from them yet to come.
Steely Dan are one of the greatest bands of all time...
I love the lyrics of this one. WOW! My favorite is DEACON BLUES. It’s about a guy that wants/fantasizes about leaving his boring 9 to 5 existence and live the life of a happy, albeit, reckless life of a jazz musician, including fast cars, heavy partying and women.
Great tune by The Dan. I bet you’d love it. 💯🎶🤩✨✨✨
The album Pretzel Logic showcases all sorts of different sounds. No song is similar to another, but they all sound very Steely Dan
I'm part way through, but it definitely came out a lot earlier than the late 70s❤
1972.
My Favorite album band too!!! Along with Little Feat. 🎶🎶🎵🎶💃🕺🩵☮️✌️🕊️💯
You need to do "Deacon Blues" and "Josie"
This is from their very first album ,the best place to start.. You started with latter of Steely when they were more formulated to the heavier jazz vibe. ,their earlier years when they were a band was raw and more experimental .. .... chek out The Boston Rag
Well, this was pop. Used to be. Once was. Upon a time. The 70's.
My favorite too!!!! And I listen to everything; absolutely my favorite. Two songs I highly recommend: “Night By Night” and “Jack Of Speed” 🔥🔥🔥
Soft Rock, methinks. Killer chorus.
Babylon Sister, Black Cow, Green Earrings, The Royal Scam, The Fez, Aja, Deacon Blues…. We could be here all day 😅🤣
You're a fan, now - just listen to all of it. Dirty Work was an early tune. I think they really found their groove with Aja, and beyond. Props.☘️😎
One of my favorites! Classic rock for sure.
One of my favorite tunes🎉
We have all been a call one way or another😂
I love this song.
My fav SD albums are the first few--they got a litle too slick for me later on. Fav album would be their second one - Countdown To Ecstacy. But you can't lose with any of those first few albums,bro. Dive in! T
The tenor saxophone and the (Clavinet) electric clavichord enhances "Dirty Work" up a couple of notches as a musical masterpiece and a popular hit single from S.D.'s debut album 'Can't Buy a Thrill' released back in 1972. 🎤🎹🎹🎷🥁🔊🔥☮
There's no clavinet
@@pmsfar-outgrooviness8025 Thanks for pointing that out.💡👌The Clavinet was a brand name of an electric keyboard instrument manufactured in Germany from 1964 up until 1982. My mistake. 🏳Donald Fagan used the brand Wurlitzer electric piano manufactured in America invented by the German immigrant Franz R. Wurlitzer. Donald played the Hammond B3 organ and piano as well. I'll make sure in the future to (fact check) before I spew out a misleading comment.🔍🔎😎
@@gabrielvanhelsing8214 Wurlitzer and Hammond, absolutely!
Kid Charlemagne! Kid Charlemagne!
Home at Last is my favorite from them.
At the time of release…yes, pop
❤
I love that you love Steely Dan!
I keep hoping for DEACON BLUES OR HOME AT LAST I PROMISE YOU WILL LOVE THEM BOTH !!
I always think of them more as a sort of soft jazz/ rock sound but they are hard to categorize.
Do a Google search and find out where the name Steely Dan comes from!!! Lol
Kid Charlemagne, showbiz kids and FM no static
React to The Fez and see if you know what they are talking about. Some people figure it out, and some don't. Great song regardless.
"Rikki Don't Lose That Number", "Don't Take Me Alive" and "Black Cow"are musts. About the POP classification, POP was different back in the day, POP is POPULAR MUSIC and Steely Dan played on the radio all day long. The POP today is tripe, the POP of yesterday was music. 😁
You don't have to wait for a *"Black Cow"* reaction because he did it 2 weeks ago.
You are right imho, but only because their early style was definitely different from the style you love and appreciate more in their later music, as do I. It's all good, though, but it just evolved. Thanks for another great reaction! ✌💙✌
🌸 one of my favorite steely Dan songs
Got my 45 year old daughter's name from their album Aja.
Guy you love Peg you have to do “Black Cow”
What you consider pop 'now' did not exist in 1972. This was pop 'then'.
Great reaction bruv. Love this song. Been there, done that too.
It was pop because Pop means popular rock back in the day or popular music back in the day and this is what was popular
One of my favorite songs on "Can't Buy a Thrill," one that's under the radar, is the last song, "Turn That Heartbeat over Again." Try listening to that one.
"Cant buy a thrill"....but you can make me an offer
Do Bodhisattva live from citizen steely dan ( greatest hits)
Brother! Haitian Divorce!!! Gonna love it
Steely Dan
Hey Nineteen
Rikki Don't Lose That Number
Deacon Blue
Reelin in the years.
Next recommended Steely Dan song: Kid Charlemagne
FM is a real jam plenty of funk.
This song reminds me of an episode of The SOPRANOS.
Nobody can really classify Steely Dan. Babylon Sisters will come your way eventually.
BTW, you really want your mind blown, do the song "Altay", which is a collaboration between Ummet Ozcan (a Dutch EDM guy), and the Siberian Folk and EDM band Otyken. Like nothing you have ever heard, and just deeply awesome. Peace. ☘️😎
Blue eyed soul.
Goes right into Kings 👑
If You think lyrics are suggestive, you should look up the source of their name "Steely Dan".
Do "Hey nineteen" next! I promise you!
It was pop in 1972. Jus sayin' 🤷♀️✌️
Once again I recommend MIDNITE CRUISER from the Can't Buy a Thrill album, then
MY OLD SCHOOL from MIDNIGHT SPECIAL VIDEOS or the studio album COUNTDOWN TO ECSTASY.
MY GOLD TEETH from COUNTDOWN
RAZOR BOY from COUNTDOWN
SHOW BIZ KIDS from MIDNITE SPECIAL VIDEO
There is no such thing as a bad SD song, but you haven't scratched the surface of their genius. Royal Scam or Babylon Sisters or Aja are epic.
He's only hit 4 of their most popular songs ever. Nothing wrong with starting the journey of exploration at its logical point...the beginning.
too many suggestions. let's just dig this one. good on you, mmb.
Check out Deacon Blues.
You keep forgetting 'Black Cow', which might be my favorite of the five you've done so far. Try 'Kid Charlemagne' next.
Johnny and Edgar Winter "Tobacco Road Live" video can't be amped up.
This is their first album and the only one that Fagan isn't lead vocals on most of the songs. He didn't have confidence in his voice yet. David Gabriel is lead singer on this song and I believe he also wrote some music on "Can't Buy a Thrill". Not that long ago Gabriel sued Fagan and Becker for royalties as an original member of Steely Dan. Don't know the outcome or if it's even been sttled yet.
Interesting album cover. Albums were essential to marketing in those days.
Great hook in this song "I'm a fool to do your dirty work, don't want to do your dirty work anymore", smoothe. Enjoyed your reaction and how you're surprised by their genre of music. ✌️
I could make a good joke about a black guy not knowing his pop but I'll leave it alone. He seems like a really good guy
Looking for something funky? Check out *"FM (No Static At All)."*
Homer Simpson had a fun take on this song. The video should be on You Tube.
I think you would go nuts listening to “Babylon Sisters”, I hope you get around to checking it out.
I’ve always loved this tune! And I agree with you. I don’t think it’s pop. I think it’s more progressive rock
Has anyone mentioned to you yet that "Steely Dan" is the name of a fictitious dildo in one of William S. Burroughs' books? So yeah, their subject matter is going to be risqué.
Rikki don't lose that number and Reelin in the years
