Steely Dan is immortal. No matter how many times I've listened to Peg -- since 1977 -- it's reborn each time I hear it.
Back in the day songs like this were just what was on the radio. Music was less segregated, so we knew the best stuff from earlier generations and what was good outside of our favorite genres.
Steely Dan is a goldmine of funk. "Dont take me Alive" "Deacon Blues" "black Cow" - always worth a listen.
What's that instrument at the beginning of "Black Cow" ? I still don't know, even though I've loved this album since I first heard it as a kid in 1977-78.
Is it a bass.....or a synth (keyboard) ? I love that, it's funk.
YESSSSSS … DEACON BLUES, BLACK COW, ASIA AND PEG WITH MICHEAL MCDONALD HELPING WITH THOSE AWESOME BACKGROUND VOCALS! 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Welcome to the world of Steely Dan !! Enjoy the ride !!
The bass line in this song is 🔥!!!
Bassist on this cut was session cat Chuck Rainey.
@@tmintheslot And he Killed it!
THAT BASS WAS ROCKING! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I always feel underdressed listening to this band. "Get this man a martini!"
Although Sultans of Swing is a different band (Dire Straits), the leader and guitarist (Mark Knopfler) of Dire Straits once played for Steely Dan in what is considered one of their best songs.
Right. Time Out of Mind.
@@jml-rj5re Did not know that, thanks for both comments!
@@billholder1330 Not surprised, but didn't know that either.
Isn't it great when you have have hi expectations and they get exceeded? That is basically Steely Dan in a nutshell.
They reached the absolute epitome with Aja. Listen to the musicality of every instrument in that one.
Kid Charlemagne should be the next song of theirs to check out ✌️
I started listening to Steely Dan in 1972 with their first album. I've never come across a bad song. I listen to lots of different kinds of music right up to 2022. But you can always go back to Steely Dan and never be disappointed.
I don't know about people listening but one of my favorite steely Dan songs is dirty work.
Steely Dan has got to be one of my top five bands of all time. It seems that EVERY song is a stone cold classic. I highly recommend Kid Charlemagne, My Old School, Reeling in the Years, Haitian Divorce, Rikki Don't Lose That Number and Dr. Wu. And that just scratches the surface of all the great songs. You've stumbled upon a very deep rabbit hole my friend!!
Michael McDonald from Doobie brothers on back up vocals ... Unmistakable
Michael McDonald was everywhere back in the day. Pretty much every band that was anything had him guest as backup vocals. Check it out. ua-cam.com/video/Yna1ZN7AdOg/v-deo.html
Michael recorded each harmony himself. Insane. No recording one take and artificially pitching it down by semitones like you would do now. And with how tight those intervals are? And how perfectly in pitch he is? Just nuts.
These guys are the soundtrack of the 70's for me! When I hear "70s", I think Steely Dan!
If you haven't listened to FM by Steely Dan, you will love love love it. Great band.
That's Michael McDonald (Doobie Bros.) singing background vocals on this track.
That F'ing guitar solo is just sick, it's too good to chart.
I feel like this is one of those songs that most people don't have on their playlist even tho we all know it...and know every word too...very underrated song bc it really grooves!
Check out , " Hey Nineteen", "Reeling In the Years", and the very funky " Green Earrings " !
Yeah I hope he hits Green Earrings. It's one of my favorite SD songs and I've been a huge fan for almost 50 years.
THIS is the reaction I NEED! Recognizing that it’s a banger off da top!👌🏾
Your favorite band’s favorite band. Michael McDonald singing peg in the chorus. His voice blends so well with the instruments.
My favorite Steely Dan song is "Deacon Blues" It will blow your mind for sure.
Put all their songs on a dart board Put a blindfold on and fire away you can't miss with this band.
Man, Steely Dan have a HUGE catalogue for you to get into. So many great songs but I've got to recommend you check out Home At Last when you get a chance, it's a lesser known track of theirs but definitely one of their best.
Home at last is a great song. I love "Brooklyn" as well .
One of the very best rock groups in history, their song arrangements were second to none
My fave Steely tune!
SteelyDan is a DEEP rabbit hole. But well worth the adventure!
"I keep your pin shot with your Letter", she sent him a Dear John letter breaking up with him, he keeps it with her pin up photo. "Peg, this will come back to you", warning her of bad karma to come, "Then the shutters fall, you see it all in 3D" describes her epic downfall. But, still he's at her photo shoot still hanging around her.
Corrected: "Then the shutter falls, you see it all in 3D." It refers to a camera shutter. There's some song-fit but it's misleading because "fall" is not the term used at the time for a camera shutter movement.
Steely Dan "FM(No Static at All)," was my first."Hey 19", "Black Cow", "Ricki Don't Lose that Number" , "Deacon Blues" ",Hey Nineteen".Michael McDonald sings backup on "Peg".
You and Tasha reacted to "Do it Again".
Steely Dan is more than a Band.They are a Phenomenon.
By the Way the song you mentioned "Sultans of Swing is by aroup called Dire Straits.
love puutin steely dan on when i'm doing stuff around the house and want that grooving background music.
So funny to watch these kids listen to songs that we have been listening to from the time they hit the charts back in the 70s. I love that they can discover tremendous talented singers, song writers who actual played instruments. Have fun!
I was a senior in HS when this album dropped and to this day it’s still one of my favorites. The writing and arrangements of the music, the long list of studio greats that played on it, it doesn’t get any better than this. This track in particular had the great Chuck Rainey on bass, and the amazing guitar solo belongs to the great Jay Graydon.
"Peg" is the all-time best pop song ever. I stand by this. Also, pegging wasn't a known popular culture thing back in the day and people didn't write popular songs about it, so no worries about content.
Chuck Rainey paying homage to Larry Graham playing slap bass. One of my top albums of all time.
I'm was fortunate enough to grow up in as time when radio was a thing ansd the local "rock" station played everything from Sabbath and Zeppelin to Aretha Franklin and Low Rawls and Motown and CSNY funk and so on. This stuff was so common we'd hear it come on the radio and think "God, this again?" I have come to really appreciate it a lot more deeply than I did then.
I love every Steely Dan album for their uniqueness. I hope you enjoy discovering their amazing work.
every year they go up .... pretty soon
Top 5 ...all time
Steely Dan= perfection
I’m a big fan of Michael McDonald. He did some work with steely Dan. Easy to hear his voice in this song. He was also involved with the Doobie Brothers. You should check them out too.
He was gonna take it somewhere else, PEGGED 🤣
For soooooo many year of my life I was singing ‘Hey’ not ‘Peg’. I’d only heard it on the radio.
Great request Dirty. T there’s nothing to be anxious about with their songs. Lots of double entendres, but that’s it. A genre unto themselves. Maybe you can do a Steely Dan livestream! 🔥🔥✌️
Deacon Blue is a Stealy Dan hit....and a great vibe......
They're new to me as well, and "Peg" is in my top two.
PEG is a smooth, vibing "JAM!!!" Great reaction, too bad your wife wasn't in this one to enjoy it with you!!!
For your next Steely Dan song...since you're new to them, I definitely suggest checking out "Kid Charlemagne".
My Steely Dan selection for you to react to is "Deacon Blues." It's as smooth as a song can be.
Great reaction T! Looking forward to your introducing Tasha to this one. Check out Steely Dan's other great hits - FM, Rikki Don't Lose That Number, Hey Nineteen, Black Cow and Reelin' In the Years.
Virtually all their songs are fantastic. Maybe try their song “ Time Out of Mind”. Great reaction. Thanks
Great song....any song off that Aja album is excellent....they em all..ps Sultans of Swing is actually Dire Straits✌️
Saw "The Dan" a few weeks back. Donald Fagen and team crushed it, as always! Growing up as a kid in the 70s, the radio was full of Steely Dan songs. Peg was one of my favorites. The fills in this song, especially the keyboard fill, is sweet. So many great SD songs...Do It Again, Reelin in the Years, Hey Nineteen, Rikki Don't Lose That Number, Kid Charlemagne, Josie....on and on. Anyhow, The Dan rocks!
"Sultans of Swing" is actually Dire Straits, great song by a very interesting band. As for Peg, found this explanation: "The lyrics of Peg are believed to be based on Peg Entwistle, the Welsh-born Broadway star who leapt to her death from the top of the H on the Hollywoodland sign before the release of her first movie in 1932. She was 24."
Never knew that ✌️
The song Peg has nothing to do with the actress. Donald Fagen was interviewed by the WSJ and explained the meaning of the song and the recording process. In 2020, Donald Fagen said "There's no hidden meaning. We just wanted a dotted half note for that spot and 'Peg' was short enough to fit with the music." Fagen added that the song "takes place at a seedy photo shoot in L.A...from the perspective of a jilted boyfriend."
I did not know that ✌️
@@MichaelTrogdon1990 Thanks for dispelling that Peg Entwistle nonsense. People who pretend to be Dan aficionados spread all kinds of BS like that.
You should check out Reeling in the Years, Hey 19, Kid Charlemane (tell me which rapper sampled it), or Black Cow. I could suggest so many more, it is a never ending library of amazing music.
Steely Dan has so many great songs. I'm glad you all discovered them. Sultans of swing is Dire Straits.
FM and Deacon Blues have always been my favorite Steely Dan songs.
Great band T my favorite Steely Dan songs are Hey 19, Dirty Work and FM like the comments below they have a huge catalog definitely worth the dive.
Of course their whole catalog is amazing…. That’s the great Michael McDonald doing the main background vocals… his voice sounds almost like a horn!!!
My 11 year old uses steely Dan as his walk up song in baseball! “reeling in the years”
"Reelin' in the years " and "Do it Again " are fantastic!
The whole Aja album is fire start to finish
I hope you realized that Michael McDonald was the background vocalist on Peg. That, and Donald Fagen's instrument arrangement and Walter Becker's guitar, just made it an absolute vibe.
This song is about an aspiring actress, with the director/photographer promising her a big break. Whether he's leading her on or not is unknown, and given where the band got its name, you can't help but wonder what kind of actress Peg is.
It’s about a porn star.
She was a friend of theirs that went to Europe and made a "foreign movie" to earn extra cash, thinking no one would find out.
Foreign movie was slang for porn.
Sounds like your first “Dan” song was “Do It Again”. If not, check it. First song on the first album in 71.
Also Black Friday, Bad Sneakers. When I go to an audio store to check out speakers, headphones, etc, I always bring a Steely Dan greatest hits CD. They have the cleanest, best produce rock music. Perfect to find the right equipment for listening.
Delasoul sampled from this song on Three Feet High and Rising
Steely Dan is something that most need in their music rotation. Also sampled for De La Soul's "Eye Know"
Was looking for this comment before I left it!✌🏾
Anything teely Dan does is truly amazing. One of my absolute favorite brand bands growing up.
Reelin in the Years! My favorite Steely Dan
It was De La Soul that helped me discover this song after they sampled it for their song Eye Know. Both great songs.
Steely Dan is the American boomers' gift to the musical universe.
They start with jazz as the foundation, then add layers of toppings that include rock and funk, then somehow manage to wrap it all up in a pop burrito. Aja is arguably the best record of the 70s - no small feat considering that it competes with a slew of other Steely Dan classics, let alone every other damn thing that was out in that killer decade for music.
They have a great song titled " Don't Take Me Alive"
“Reeling in the years MUST be next!
I'm going to see Steely Dan for the second time in August and I can not wait. They are fantastic live🔥🤙🏼
They had something like 20 LA sessions guitar players come in to try and do a solo on this track, nobody could do it, until they found the guy that made the recording.
This (Aja) is 100% my favorite Steely Dan album. We used to have Steely Dan weekends in college.
You can't go wrong with any Steely Dan track...try Green Earrings, I got the News, Black Cow, The Fez...
The song you speak of at the beginning is 'Kid Charlemagne'
Thanks. I was wondering.
Listen tot he song Babylon Sisters from the Groucho album. It’s said to be about an aging playboy and his last fling with a couple of party girls. Very smooth with the rock/jazz infusion.
He's talking about Do It Again.
Thanks So much for getting into the Steely Dan catalogue!! Great reaction to a Great 2 guys that Were Steely Dan!! Talking about Donald Fagan and Walter Becker!! Each album had almost entirely different musicians!! Now that you said about waiting for the song lyrics going in another direction, You Must!!!!!!! Check out the songs "The Fez ", and "Black Friday "!! Gotta put those 2 as frontrunners!! Although they have Way Too Many Great songs to Mention otherwise I'd be writing a Novel on your site!! No Joke!! Thanks Again
Watching your reaction gives me chills; it's exactly how I felt when I discovered them in my teens. One of the most amazing music experiences in life is Steely Dan.
De La Soul sampled this for "Eye Know" if you didn't know
Love Steely Dan
That guitar solo.. Jay Gradon I think, totally improvised, all in the first take. He didn’t know it made it onto the song till he heard it on the radio.
Sultans of swing is a Dire Straits song! Steely Dan is one of my all time favourite bands. Would love you to explore Supertramp. A while back I heard you mention bands with lots of instruments, they are one of them. Love T n T vibe. Blessings
I remember when I was listening to Eye Know by De La Soul as a kid and then stumbling across Peg...Good times
Stay with Steely for anytime and you're hooked. Each album brings something a little different. Yes, the lyrics belie the music. My vote for the next track is "Green Earrings." Enjoy the ride!
De La Soul samples this on Eye Know.
Green Earrings!! I cannot recommend this SD song enough. It's got to be the funkiest SD song. Pretty much everything from Aja, The Royal Scam, Gaucho, Katy Lied, Countdown to Ecstasy are gems. They just do not make bad music.
One of the best bands ever.
One of my favorite Steely Dan songs.
Definitely check out Black Cow and Time Out Of Mind! You'll love both! This band was INCREDIBLE!
They were my go to band in the 1970's. You've got good taste my friend.
Prog rock at it's best. Big sound, jazz influence .
Welcome to the deepest hole you’ve ever dug for yourself, TNT. (I’ve been a Dan Fan since 1972, if you can f_cking believe it! I bought their first album on the first release day purely by accident with my chore & lawn-mowing money when I was 12. I walked into Peaches Music and they were playing it on the house stereo system, and were still unboxing them! It’s called “Can’t Buy A Thrill.” But I DID!) And I’m still listening to them DAILY - 50 years later…
Chuck Rainey, and Bernard Purdie, the bass player and drummer. These two we on a lot of these great tunes, Rainey was Quincy’s right hand man for a long while.
He really pushed everyone's buttons. In the end, he offended the wrong people. His TV series was hilarious.
Steely Dan is great at playing smooth songs about the seediest of people and situations. Don't Take Me Alive, about a hostage situation. Kid Charlemagne, about one of the inventors of LSD (and the Grateful Dead's sound engineer). Deacon Blues, about a man hitting rock bottom. Peg, about an actress who works in X-rated movies (the reference to "foreign movies"). Sign In Stranger, about identity laundering. Dirty Work, about a married woman having an affair. Hey Nineteen, about a dirty old man trying to make it with college girls.
