There is no genre for Steely Dan. They are their own genre. :)
Exactly!
Steely Dan was probably one of the most versatile groups from the 70's for sure. I would encourage you both to look further into their music catalog because, this group turned out some great memorable music that definitely won't disappoint, " Peg " " Reelin in the years " " Deacon Blues " " Hey Nineteen " just to name a few.
Love the well informed fan😁I seriously learn so much, watching this channel. Thanks for sharing ❤️
My dad told us this band was named after him,when we were kids. We were gullible 😁
@@kathyyore309 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Josie
I know it's been a year but you can't go back to much because this is the first song from their first studio album. Lol
Oh, you’ve started down the rabbit hole of Steely Dan. You won’t be disappointed.
Asia & BJ, you'll love their "Deacon Blues", "Aja" and "Josie". Some of the greatest recorded music ever produced by Donald and Walter. Big rabbit hole to dive into. Enjoy!!!
Personally, I felt Aja was their best album. Great production. Love Aja, especially the drumming of Steve Gadd.
Gotta say, Asia reacting to Aja would be fantastic.
@@chrisjamieson3452 I think it’s probably my favourite album of all time.
@@chrisjamieson3452 It was Chris and I still got my vinyl from its release in NZ. Love the two lead guitars.
Might as well say the entire Aja album :)
There is no other band like them. They are their own genre.
Steely Dan is the name of the band. And I dont care what anybody says, they are one of the best modern jazz bands of all time.
They had several radio hits, like "Hey Nineteen", "Kid Charlemagne" and "Black Cow".
FM
They're a rock band. A rock band that can be described as jazzy as they did mix in elements of jazz, but not simply a jazz band. They are no more a jazz band than KISS is a disco band. Not that I believe IWMFLY is a disco song, it only mixes in a disco element or two.
Band: Steely Dan
Genre: Music
The band Stuff was highly underrated and amazing, Gordon Edwards, Cornell dupree, Richard tee, Eric Gale and the awesome Stevie gadd... for who ever who sees this go take a listen please.
My parents went to their concert in Portland a couple weeks ago, and my dad would ALWAYS play these albums when I was young. LOVE their music!
Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Steely Dan!! They are possibly one of my all-time favorite bands because they have some of the most impressive musicians playing with them. Their music IS the best music to listen to when you're driving!!
If you were a teenager in the early 70s, this was your introduction to this great band and it started a life long journey ! Great reaction kids !
I was one of those teenagers.
@@thancrow I was 5 but still remember that song 😂
Correct. The song came out in the Fall of '72. I was a sophomore in college on the East Coast. I was an instant fan for life.
@@jaysonbiggs8979 I was 14 then.
@@jaysonbiggs8979 I was a college freshman on the West coast. Instant fan as well..
First album, first cut - this was our initial exposure to Steely Dan, and we'd heard nothing just like it before. I never looked back (ha!). Steely Dan is Walter Becker (R.I.P.) and Donald Fagen and pretty much every top of the class session musician in the world, varying from song to song to song. As for the name Steely Dan, google it, you'll never believe me if I tell you where it comes from. What to next listen to of theirs - pretty much pick anything, you almost can't go wrong. That being said My Old School, Kid Charlamagne, Don't Take Me Alive, The Royal Scam, Dirty Work, Aja, FM.....
Bodhisattva, Peg, etc, etc, etc
The quintessential song about bad choices & bad habits!!!
Steely Dan was another great band of the 70's. This was a great song of theirs. Also check out Deacon Blues, Peg, Reelin' In The Years, Hey Nineteen, and Rikki Don't Lose That Number.
Well, "Aja" obviously...did they do that yet? That's a must.
Steely is a groove! All the above will put you in a mood!
Reelin' in the Years is my favorite!
PEG…FM…REELING IN THE YEARS…BLACK COW
Rock/Jazz fusion. No one did it better than Steely Dan.
Steely Dan was so cool back then. All the musicians were impeccable in their individual craft. Donald Fagen s voice as lead was so unique. They were as popular as any group in the 70 s.
They were perfectionists, lyrics were hip and smart and ambigous. Their fusion of styles was unique. Correct they aren't one genre...Steely Dan is their own genre.
They still are for those who can decipher what they created. STEELY DAN FOR LIFE!
Throughout the 70's, Steely Dan was the ONE band that every musician respected. They were universally praised for their style, talent, and presentation. Brilliant combo, often way ahead of everyone else.
Don't be silly, loads of bands were respected in the 70's by fellow musicians like Floyd, Zeppelin, ACDC not too mention solo artists like Elton John, David Bowie considering it's the best decade in musical history..Steely Dan was a great band but to say they were the 'one' band respected in the 70's is nonsense !
@@johnhopkinson4054 Yes. I hate band fanboys saying "this band was the best" on every reaction video their band is featured in. Steely Dan is damn good, but so are countless artists of that decade.
Just keep hittin Steely Dan...literally anything, you and audience won’t be disappointed. Anything off of the “AJA” album is a sure thing.
Denny Dias electric sitar solo on this song is so unique. SD are like nobody else. Penultimate musicianship.
You mean ultimate, right?
I’ve been listening to this song a couple decades but never knew that was a sitar. That’s pretty freaking cool! No wonder it’s so unique
I listen to this song 100 times a month....Pure genius, perfection, the congas, the lyrics, the guitar solo and organ ( maybe the best ever in this context ), find the extended version ( DJ Disco Cat ), put on headphones, and go with the vibe....this song is Morroccan, Middle Eastern, disco, Santana-ish.....One of the great songs of ALL Time....
Smooth. That is Steely Dan in one word. Listening to them is like sipping on a 12 year old Scotch.
Steely Dan has always been such a great band because they're always so tight. There's nothing there that doesn't 'fit' - and doesn't do it wonderfully. True musicians inside and out.
Perfect analyses of Steely Dan's music.Just put it on and let it play.
Steely Dan is more than a band. They are Phenominal.
"You know that cards will make you money, so you hide them when you're able. In the land of milk and honey you must put them on the table." Find these lyrics so powerful
This is absolutely their best song.
If you've been to a Steely Dan concert, there are so many musicians in the audience. They kill it and never disappoints.. They are loved.
I could listen to that chill funky groove for an hour! And his voice just makes me want to listen!
You can listen to every album they made, all in a row, one at a time and not get tired of listening...
Some reactor is actually doing that. He is listening to every Steely Dan song on every album in order with no skips. Last I checked he was up to Gaucho.
This is the first track on the first Steely Dan album, “Can’t Buy A Thrill”, released in November of 1972. It’s one of those albums that doesn’t have one bad song, it sounds like what most groups put out as a “greatest hits” album.
Another excellent song to react to on this album is “Brooklyn”.
Steely Dan doesn't have one bad song.
"Wheel turning round and round" I think is from Buddhism Wheel of Life(suffering). The three causes of human suffering: ego, desire, greed. In Buddhism the Wheel keeps turning , lifetime after lifetime, and the goal is to get out of this eternal cycle through enlightenment.
Otherwise you just go back, Jack, do it again, and again ...
If you ever wanted to create your own 70's radio station, then Steely Dan is one of the "must haves." If you throw in the Steve Miller Band and the Doobie Brothers, I would say your collection would be 70% complete.
Can I throw Pink Floyd in there too then I’m set
Eagles, Elton John, ELO, Beatles solo groups.
Steely Dan is one of those bands you remember having several big hits. Then you start adding them up and dang, they had a huge impact.
More Steely Dan - Deacon Blues, Kid Charlemagne, Black Cow, Peg, Hey Nineteen, Rikki Don't Lose That Number, Reelin' in the Years...
Steely Dan is the name of the band, it's not just one guy. It was Donald Fagen and Walter Becker...and a host of super talented Studio musicians. The name "Steely Dan" came from a d*ldo 😂
you just can't go wrong with Steely Dan! my childhood was so good!
Steely Dan!!?? You're going to LOVE going down this rabbit hole!! I suggest "Black Cow", "Peg", "Reelin' in the Years".
Steely Dan were extremely talented musicians with so many great songs throughout the 70's.
I was in high school in the late 70’s, graduated in ‘79, and Steely Dan was always in background , one of those albums you out on when you wanted to chill with yourself or some great friends and drink something good and listen to some good music! And real music lovers appreciated great bands like Steely Dan and others.
I became a fan of Steely Dan when I saw them in concert on January 28, 1973 at the Terrace Ballroom in Salt Lake City. This this song was popular. The opening act was also a band just starting out and became very popular, the Doobie Brothers
Wow,what a concert THAT must have been,my two favourite American bands on the same bill!
@@TheCornishCockney Agreed! Two of my tops also!
Steely Dan is one of the greatest bands ever.
Steely Dan, the chameleons of music. So much variety, so many different and unique songs in their body of work. There is a reason they have endured the test of time, they put quality music out there.
My fave Steely Dan song - My Old School. Perfection. They saved it for the encore when I saw them in 1993.
Love Steely Dan and their eclectic music. So many great songs, and so many different music styles. 🧡 I think you'll enjoy listening to more!
They’re one of Americas greatest bands. Incredible songwriting,musicians and production. They influenced other bands then and now.
Damn!!! Feeling the vibe and the reaction with this Steely Dan song tonight!!!!
Two exceptional musicians here, they had their own great mix of jazz and rock. 👍👍👍
So glad you got around to Steely Dan. You’ll surely recognize a few of their tunes as well as some hip-hop / rap songs that sampled them. There’s not a single bad song in their catalog.
Great band. Do alot more. You will be AMAZED
Finally I’ve been patiently waiting for this group please more Steely Dan
Donald Fagan and Walter Becker are two of the most talented musicians and song writers in the past 40+ years. I encourage you to keep exploring their incredible catalogue. My suggestion for the next play would be Rikki Don’t Lose That Number - incredible musicianship throughout and one of the best guitar leads of all time. 🥂
On the Asia Album, they used over 40 Musicians as "Featured Artists" divided into smaller groups across, many only on one song on the album. B.T.W. Asia is a Fantastic Album....!
"Do It Again", "Reelin' in the Years", "My Old School", "Rikki Don't Lose That Number", "Peg", "Deacon Blues", "FM (No Static at All)", "Josie"... These songs along with many others from Steely Dan filled the radio airwaves throughout the 70's. "Hey Nineteen" capped off the decade in 1980. Each tells a tale of its own. "Kid Charlemagne", for example, tells the tale of anti-hero lsd-chemist Owsley Stanley and how The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test ultimately turned out. And does so with a funky beat and one of the greatest guitar solos ever too!
Ricky Don't lose that number reminds me of my high school days, oh and Dirty Work too.
Donald Fagan (vocals, keyboards etc) & Walter Becker (guitars etc) were Steely Dan....everyone else was a guest artist...such a unique sound!
For many people, Steely Dan is/was the zenith of jazz prog rock. That is one seriously original guitar solo. Part of it sounds Persian, or Indian, or whatever that influence is. The voice is so original, and the compositions often change beats or time signatures. Thanks for a nice break between some tasks at work.
Steely Dan has been sampled a lot. Musically and production perfection
First heard in '72 and followed ever since - one of the great bands over 9 albums (plus Fagen's solos).
The are a TREASURE!!! Love Steely Dan and this was the first song on their first album. Highly recommend checking out more as they have great songs and were perfectionist at making the music sound on point. I recommend Rikki Don’t Lose that Number, Kid Charlemagne, FM (Static), Deacon Blues, My Old School, Budhisattva, Reeling in the years and so many more….they truly do have an amazing catalog.
"Can't Buy A Thrill" is a masterpiece start to finish. One of my all-time favorite albums.
@@mikek5958 Same here!!
Steely Dan came out while I was in college, and quickly dominated my playlist. He is still one of my all time favorites. "Aja", "Hey Nineteen", "Rikki Don't Lose That Number", "Reelin' In The Years", "Peg", "Black Cow", "Deacon Blues", and so many more. Take a deep dive and enjoy!
Heard this and other Steely Dan jams when I was a kid. It was part of the soundtrack of my life at the time but now, as an adult, I appreciate them on a whole higher level. I appreciate this and other music of my time and I'm glad it's still capturing new listeners to this day.
Steely Dan is amazing. They never made a bad song. Keep em coming. 🌺✌️
Oh man I was soooo hoping you two would get to this song! It and this band are like no other! So talented and this song gets everyone who heard it moving!
Can't go wrong with 70's rock, it has a strong staying power just like '90s rock beautiful
This song has so many incredible sounds and a beat that makes is move.
"Do It Again" is from Steely Dan's debut album "Can't Buy A Thrill", every song is good. "Dirty Work", "Midnight Cruiser", "Reeling In The Years", "Only A Fool Would Say That", etc., Their "Aja" (pronounced Asia, a woman's name) album is great.
You can't go wrong with steely Dan and you should check out their song " kid Charlemagne"✌️
This was the first song on the first side of their first album. Their first single. The first time we ever heard them. They took the music world by storm. It is a wonderful wild ride from here!!!
Let’s get it right it’s world renown Steely Dan I mean as a kid I can remember interviews of musicians from around the world and how they try to explain the music that is steely Dan it’s such a complication and only those who are at the top tier of their instruments can’t even begin to play Steely Dan amazing amazing group
"Kid Charlemaigne" is one of their best. "Green Earrings" is another.They used different musicians for each solo per need per recording . Larry Carlton's guitar solo on "Kid Charlemaigne" is rated one of the best. Jim Hester
Their song "FM" has got the funk, the beat and the groove. Their jazz background shines in this cut. Take it for a spin and enjoy it.
I vote for Steely Dan - Deacon Blues. They’re a mellow, laid back, groove rock band. I love them!!!
Wife here...Oh my my (you were SINGING that Usher ..,Asia)!!....This band is so amazingly talented....Since a child I loved This heavily influenced jazz..As an adult..I heard this called " the "Urban Night Sound".
my fav Steely Dan song...used to love listening to this driving on Lake Shore Drive in Chi with the windows down n the roof open on a sunny summer afternoon...🤗☺❤
STEELY DAN, "DO IT AGAIN", There was nothing as groovy, except waiting... waiting to hear the next Steely Dan vibe, and top ten charting Masterpiece. more..."REELIN IN THE YEARS", "RICKY DON'T LOOSE THAT NUMBER", "DIRTY WORK", "AJA", "PEG ", "DEACON BLUES", "HEY 19", "JOSIE", "HAITIAN DIVORCE", "BABYLON SISTERS", "BLACK COW", BAD SNEAKERS", F.M. (NO STATIC AT ALL"..
The material from their comeback in the 90's was more of a mixed bag,but their 70's catalogue,from Can't Buy A Thrill through 1980's Gaucho is unsurpassed by anyone. Just note perfect,every song,but it still grooves and never sounds stale or stiff. I'm talking EVERY song on EVERY album. This is one of the deepest rabbit holes there is. Pick any album at random and then any song off that album by random,it doesn't matter,you'll be floored.
Their other huge hit from this album is “Reelin In The Years,” well worth a listen.
JOSIE!!! She’s the pride of the neighborhood!!
I remember hearing this first time on late night radio station, and thinking "WHO IS THIS?", later became a big SD fan, especially their "Can't Buy A Thrill" album. Always impressed with how Fagen rhymed 'water' and 'border'.
Donald Fagan, genius composer. Listen to the opening of Josie. This is the first band that I learned the drums. List: Aja for Asia, Hey Nineteen, for the "nice" hi-hat and Josie, because she's a good girl. You guys are awesome.
So happy y’all are checking out Steely Dan!!! Woohoo! 🙌🏼 Steely Dan. Is. intoxicating.
This band had an addictive haunting sound and the refrain used to be what we all sang when we went to score and now its good to see yall appreciate it.
This band has so many different amazing songs.
Steely Dan Are Absolutely Legendary Music Icons With A HUGE Catalog Of Great Music Well Worth Your Time Exploring..TRUTH!!
Such great musicians with so many great hits! Take a deep dive on these folks and swim in luxurious sound!
I wish I could recommend a song but I love every single one of their songs, I can't pick.
One of their best, but they have so many good tunes. One of the best bands of the 70's. Loved them in junior high and high school. Just bought their greatest hits CD about 8 years ago. They have a timeless quality for sure. I dug them at 12 years old and still do at 58. Talented creators.
my family moved to old malibu road in 77' and it so happened that steely dan rented the house across the street to rehearse for the album aja...nobody complained about the loud live jams 24/7 .... i thought you two were named for that time... Aja... Blues & Jazz...Asia & BJ. you guys will love all their songs my fav is 'my old school' try it if you'd like
I love you guys, love seeing how much you love each other, you guy are my favorite by a long shot
YO! Asia and BJ,Congrats! You guys are now my number 1 reaction channel! 🥰💣💣💥💥💯💯. The Steely Dan rabbit hole runs DEEP and these AMAZING musicians will NOT DISSAPPOINT! Go for it and keep these vibes coming!
The unique-sounding guitar solo in the middle was done on an electric sitar guitar. That's what it has that distinct Indian sound to it. Quite innovative, to say the least. This is one of my favorite rock songs having listened to it since I was in junior high.
Steely Dan has always been such a unique group with a different beat. I've said it before, several times now, I miss the instrumentation of the 70's music. The experimentations with different sounds playing off of each other is sorely missed by me.
Donald fagens voice is one of a kind for sure 👌
MJ's "Billie Jean" starts a lot like this. The name "Steely Dan" was what a character in William S. Burrough's 1959 Beat generation underground classic, "Naked Lunch" called his dildo. Pretty sure that this, "Doit it again", was the first Dan song to hit the radio. Everyone loved it, of course. "Reeling in the Years" came soon thereafter. I love dozens of their songs, with "Aja", "Royal Scam", "Charlie Freak", "Babylon Sisters", and "Don't Take Me Alive" being in the uppermost slots.
Steely Dan was one of the best bands ever. Have all their albums from the seventies. Loved them then and love them now.
Steely Dan would be a combination of Jazz Rock, Soft and Pop Rock with a little bit of Fusion mixed in.
"Bars" really...
One of the best of the 70's....way ahead of the curve.
Cheers

Ask any musician (that's really a musician and not just a 'celebrity' with a laptop) who their favorite 'rock' group is ...you're probably gonna hear Steely Dan. Essentially two guys, Walter Becker on guitar and Donald Fagen on keys, with a great bunch of studio guys playing _exactly_ what they wanted. They are top shelf. Too many to recommend, but try Peg, Deacon Blues, Reelin' In the Years, Don't Take Me Alive, Hey Nineteen, Kid Charlemagne...on and on...
You'll love Steely Dan, they've got dozens of great songs, and you love good music. They always have the best players, the best production, great arrangements, always great. Long ago I had some 2 vinyl album greatest hits album, and every single track was a classic. I would suggest Bodhisattva, Rikki Don't Lose That Number, Doctor Wu, or Josie, but there's lots to choose from.
This is a song to get stoned and mellow out, or... Dance to? Absolutely brilliant musicianship. BLACK COW is your next Steely Dan assignment. BJ will recognize the hip hop sample instantly.
Finally Steely Dan. You will love this rabbit hole. Funk, Rock and Jazz.
I am a Steely Dan devotee FOR LIFE!!!! Their music was so many different layers, as you say BJ. Their lyrics were hip, smart, ambiguous much of the time, their vocals were totally cool and their ability to create fusion of music styles was like no one else.
one of the best guitar solos ever 🎸🔥
For an "older guy" that isn't too tech savvy when it comes to cell phones, computers and the internet, there is 1 thing I have figured out.
And that is how to cop a dam good concert ticket from a seating standpoint.
I've seen "Steely Dan" twice now from center stage, first row, pit. Practically resting my elbows on the stage.
Just order 1 ticket the hour any concert ticket goes on sale. Chances are, there's always 1 lone ticket in the first row.
By the way, Steely Dan and the musicians that tour under that name are some of the best professionals "in the game".
Check em out before Donald Fagan calls it a career.
Welcome to Steely Dan. Anything off of Aja is the bomb. A genre of their own. And the gold standard in production/recording engineering.
Me and my friend used to chill out to this record, and we'd always laugh cause this song was first on the record, and youd make your way back to it and just say fuck it, do it again.
you have to do the steely Dan song “Aja” ...it is your name Asia plus it has the greatest sax and drums by Wayne shorter and Steve gadd.... please and thanks...
