Truly one of the best in the business. Every song they do is different. It's like going on a road trip and all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the ride. Huge rabbit hole with these guys. The hits are endless.
What really made Steely Dan, was not just gathering the best musicians. They matched particular musicians for specific songs. Then did a masterful job of blending and adding sounds to create one of the best albums ever produced.
Steely Dan...a huge rabbit hole. Go for it my friend. On this tune, during the chorus, you hear Michael McDonald singing harmonies, but he's doing at least three parts to make a chord. Guy's amazing. Check the Doobie Brothers. Good before, and after Michael McDonald.
"Black Cow" next then "Rikki Don't Lose That Number", "Do It Again", "Hey Nineteen", "Deacon Blues" and "Reelin' In The Years". Deep rabbit hole man. One of the deepest.
Oh yes please more Steely Dan! Amazing musicians love them so much. "Do it again" "Josie" "Reeling in the years" And "Deacon blues" Are some great ones. ✌❤😎
I somehow came out of the womb knowing this song. My parents were huge Steely Dan fans. I’ve now seen them 4 times in concert and saw Donald Fagen once as a solo act when he recently did his tour for his first solo album The Nightfly, albeit decades after it was released. I knew it was a once in a lifetime opportunity so I had to go, and The Nightfly is my favorite album of all time. Cried when Walter Becker died and I remember exactly where I was at when I got the news. I actually just ate dinner this evening with the former coworker that broke the news to me.
Chuck Rainey's amazing bass playing really makes this song for me. This is one of those albums we used to say is 'all killer, no filler". It is also a production masterpiece of studio brilliance. One of the best engineered records straight out of the gate I have ever heard. There isn't a bad track on the Aja album in my view. What I would suggest as good 'next steps' in your Steely Dan explorations would be "Deacon Blues", "Black Cow" and "Josie" from the Aja album. Also "My Old School" on Steely Dan's album "Countdown to Ecstasy", and "Do It Again" & "Reelin' In the Years" from their album "Can't Buy A Thrill"
YESSS!!!! Keep going with Steely Dan and then move on to the "Doobie Brothers" (same time period).... Start with "Long Train Running" and "Black Water" with them.... and, YES, their name is in fact because they were always smoking "doobies" back in the day. When they were trying to come up with a name a friend jokingly said "you oughta call yourselves the doobie brothers". The rest is history.... great reaction! "Hey Nineteen" and maybe "Reelin' In The Years" next for Steely Dan. Peace....
"Fish out of water " reacted to this, after Peg, he reacted to ALL STEELY DAN STUFF! LOL He now calls them the "groove masters "! Ya gotta do....FM (no static at all) ,Time out of mind, Hey 19, Black Cow. There are so many! Dive in the rabbit hole and enjoy!😉
Bizmatik, here are the coolest Steely Dan songs you need to reaction to: "FM", "Do It Again", "My Old School", "Black Cow", "Babylon Sisters", "Black Friday", "Josie", "Reeling in the Years", & "Aja", among many others!! Do it! Check this band out!
Thank you so much for reacting to Steely Dan. They have a huge catalog of music that's off the hook! One of their songs that is Fire is FM. Please react to this song! Thanks again Bruh!
So much funky and jazzy stuff in the 70’s. Love Steely Dan. This is a highlight of my Saturday night playlist. To start off the night with dancing, I hit “Dancing Fool” from The Guess Who. If I’m working overnight, “Blue Collar” by BTO. And if I’m just chilling, “Blackwater” by the Doobie Brothers.
Ahhhhhhhh shit! U just fell down a rabbit hole Biz! I'm loving your reaction to Steely Dan! Shout out to the person that got on Biz! 🤣 "Hey Nineteen", "Do It Again, "Reeling in The Years" "FM (No Static At All)" & "Deacon Blues" are classics! Get it Biz! ❤✌🎵
I've been listening to Steely Dan for over 35 years, and I'm finding it really hard to imagine that people STILL don't know who they are... yet the Renaissance is happening!! Good times and good music await all who partake.
Please don’t be “despicable” and listen to FM, Kid Charlemange, Do It Again and Aja! Steely Dan is the GOAT!! Your reactions to all the great music I’ve heard growing up (1958) makes me appreciate what I took for granted. Now I am “listening” with you and enjoying YOUR reactions! What’s next? Bring it on!!👏🏽😍
Steely Dan,more than a band. Michael McDonald on backup in this one "Peg". They are everything.Talent cannot be denied. Dive in the water is fine. "Black Cow", "F M ".
Steely Dan simply did not know how to write a bad song, They are a band that took elements of jazz, blues, r&b, rock, funk, threw it all in a blender and poured it out onto the table.
Steely Dan is wayyy cool! I KNEW you'd dig them too! I just love it when you groove to these great artists! "Do It Again" & "FM" are BADASS! Everything they do is great! Just check 'em out Biz! 🔥🤘
Steely Dan is 2 guys...Walter Becker and Donald Fagan....they would assemble the greatest musicians on the planet when they recorded an album and when they toured...they have multiple albums and not a bad song on any of them...I'll enjoy the ride with you...
It's crazy how music is out there that we haven't heard. i'm fascinated by reaction videos. music can now have a life and reach much greater than radio play ever gave it. people all around the world can discover music/art that was boxed in by executive decisions; for generations!
Big Smiles and Chair Dancing! You're hooked now - everything on that Aja album is a keeper. Have fun exploring Steely Dan, also Donald Fagen's solo "New Frontier" off the Nightfly album.
Dig deeper on SD. Green Earrings; Night by Night; Glamour Profession; Babylon Sisters. Enjoy this rabbit hole you're going down. Steely Dan just does not write any bad songs
New sub here. Had to check this out. Great reaction to great music. If you want more SD check out Deacon Blues, Black Cow, Do It Again, Hey Nineteen, FM, Josie, Rikki Don't Lose That Number
STEELY DAN'S LIKE YES THEY ARE PERFECTIONISTS IS ALL ABOUT THE INCREDIBLE PLAYING THE MUSICIAN SHIP AND GREAT LYRICS BUT UNLIKE YES ITS GOT AS GREAT URBAN EDGE
Steely Dan my favorite. I told you about "Only a Fool Would Say That" was about John Lennon. If you read somewhere else it's about people in general it's not. Their lyrics are singular not plural. Steely Dan created a sound no one else has. Unique. Hey, I follow you on Tik Tok. I like your taste in music. "I need the Funk"
You’ve opened up a can of worms now. Steely Dan is a HUGE rabbit hole. You’re gonna love these guys.
Truly one of the best in the business. Every song they do is different. It's like going on a road trip and all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the ride. Huge rabbit hole with these guys. The hits are endless.
Aja is as perfect an album as any artist has ever recorded. Every track is incredible and there's enough variety to mix things up as well.
TRUTH! 🔥🤘
Yeah, for me it's Aja, Royal Scam, then Gaucho. All remarkable achievements.
💯! Think aja might the most sampled of steely Dan's albums..those hooks!
Steve Gadd's epic work on the title track is still being talked about 50 years later
I'm a competent bass player, and I can't even imagine doing to this song what Chuck Rainey is doing to this song with his bass skills. WOW.
What really made Steely Dan, was not just gathering the best musicians. They matched particular musicians for specific songs. Then did a masterful job of blending and adding sounds to create one of the best albums ever produced.
Steely Dan is the best!!! Glad you like their brilliance. Michael McDonald was backup singer for them- and you hear him on the choruses.
They hired some of the very best studio session musicians of the day and you can hear the quality
Who else is super hungry for every steely dan reaction video? 🤔i literally check that shit 🤤
Peg is the best place to start
You're one of us now!
Wow...this is your first Steely Dan? Awesome!! There are SO MANY great songs!
My favorite band for the last 35 years.
Mine from the past 45 years . 1975 Baby
same
I graduated from high school in 1975 went this came out
Ok now do Bodhisattva, Aja, Black Cow, Don't Take Me Alive, FM (No Static At All), Reelin' in the Years...
Yes! All those!
Babylon Sisters !
Marotta and Rainey straight killing it on the drums and bass. Simply sublime.
Steely Dan...a huge rabbit hole. Go for it my friend. On this tune, during the chorus, you hear Michael McDonald singing harmonies, but he's doing at least three parts to make a chord. Guy's amazing. Check the Doobie Brothers. Good before, and after Michael McDonald.
Prince was a huge Steely Dan fan. This song shows it more than any other. Everything about it sonds like a Prince song. Even the lyrics.
"Black Cow" next then "Rikki Don't Lose That Number", "Do It Again", "Hey Nineteen", "Deacon Blues" and "Reelin' In The Years". Deep rabbit hole man. One of the deepest.
You are correct buy you left out dirty work.
"don't take me alive" ... "FM (no static at all)" ... "Kid Charlemange" ... "Babylon Sisters" ..."Aja" ... "My old school" ..."Josie"
@@bridgetlaw1484 "King of the World" ... "Caves of Altamira"..."Any Major Dude"..."Home At Last"..."Pretzel Logic"..."Chain Lightning"....
Peg!!!!❤❤❤❤ Deacon Blues❤❤❤❤ ooooh man! Good stuff right there!
IGY!!!
Next, try their songs “Hey Nineteen” , and. “My Old School”

Truth be told there are no boring, mediocre Steely Dan tunes
@@289hipo you’re right!!! If someone is “bored” with Steely Dan… That’s on THEM!!!
I think he'd enjoy Black Cow the most out of all of those.
YESSS!!!! Keep going with Steely Dan and then move on to the "Doobie Brothers" (same time period)....

Dive in the rabbit hole and enjoy!😉
I agree with everyone's Steely Dan song choices here! Hard to go wrong with Steely Dan, they are true musicians, pure talent. Subbed!
You can’t help but dance and smile when you listen to this track. Steely Dan is legendary!

Pretzel Logic
I tried not to burst out crying but when he said “I was being *Disrespectful* my laughter could no longer be contained!” 😂👌🔥
Absolutely one of the great rock bands, ever....

If jazz funk is your ache, then Steely Dan is your cure.
Steely Dan has a great list of songs to do .

This guy: ...I don't get paid enough to dance!

"What other Steely Dan should I react to?"
Everybody: Any of them!
My childhood
Mine, too.
Listening to Don't Take Me Alive on the upscale FM Album AOR stations was awesome listening experience
I grew up on a steady diet of Steely Dan in the 70s right up until now
My kids grew up on Steely Dan, they called it Sunday morning music 🎶
Steely Dan,more than a band.
Michael McDonald on backup in this one "Peg".
They are everything.Talent cannot be denied.
Dive in the water is fine.
"Black Cow", "F M ".
That’s the groove right there baby
Super smooth soulful vibe!!!
"Deacon Blues" "Josie" "FM (No static at all)" "Kid Charlemagne" "Reeling in the years" "Do it again" "Dirty Work"
Steely Dan simply did not know how to write a bad song, They are a band that took elements of jazz, blues, r&b, rock, funk, threw it all in a blender and poured it out onto the table.
Jazzy, rock, dance, funky - everything and a brilliant vibe!
The magnificent Michael McDonald is singing background on this track! The whole album is a masterpiece!
That's Michael McDonald (Doobie Bros) Singing background vocals on this track.
You don't just hear this amazing song......You feel it! Love S.D.!!!
Steely Dan is in their own class. They have 50 songs worth reacting behind. "Home at Last" is one to do. It's on this same album.
