@@reallymysterious4393 So many on that list, youll probably get a 1000 replies. "Highway to Hell"-ACDC. Bon's last.

Reportedly that line is about - Chevy Chase! Donald Fagen was a friend of his from schooldays and actually Chevy played drums in a very, very early version of "The Dan".
Does ones heart good to see you making the connection with these songs that meant so much to us in our youth... we oldsters really had it good back then.
Watching these videos is like watching your kid opening up his presents on Christmas morning, and really wanting him to like what you got him, and he gives you the best reaction. You're bringing joy to the world, Jamal!
@@ralph0901 Got to meet the tenor saxophonist on "FM" Pete Christlieb at The Mt. Hood Jazz Festival in Gresham, Oregon, back in the mid-80s. He graciously signed my "Aja" album where he played on the song "Deacon Blues."

The more you listen to Steely Dan the more you get hooked unreal been listening to them since the 70's glad to see the younger generation enjoying cool music
I was like 12 when this came out one of my brothers listened to this when he was in college when I first heard it. Awesome music and an awesome band. Doesn't surprise me you checked this song out and enjoyed it.
Keep doing what you do Jamal. I’m reliving my youth watching you react to these songs. Yes children of the 60s & 70s were spoilt with music. Once your down that rabbit hole there’s no going back 👍
Jamel, Really enjoyed your reactions to Steely Dan. I'd love to see your reaction to Steely Dan's Bodhisattva, Chain Lightning and Sign In Stranger. Stay safe !!!
This for me has always been the quintessential Steely Dan AMAZING SONG! Living in Tifton Georgia 73-74! This entire album is solid epic Diamond status to me! Elliot Randall crushes it!
YES to your "executive decision" to react to requests of songs you may have "heard" before. The thing about the quality of most of this music is the deeper and more attentively we listen, the more we notice and appreciate. You are dead right that we may have heard and noticed a "hook" "groove" or "refrain/chorus." A closer than cursory listen reveals so much more. This is what makes great music not only stand up to repeated listening. Music of that quality almost requires repeated listening to fully grasp and appreciate.
My son's favorite Steely Dan song. He is 17 now but he saw them live at age 8. He can't explain why to this day. He will play it from time to time in his room. I think it the harmonies. One of my favorites as well.
I'm 57. When I was young, great songs like this were on FM radio every day. They seemed to just keep coming and I thought the it would last forever. Sadly, it didn't work out like I thought.
Jamal - this Welsh grandad has been listening to the Dan since I first heard Haitian Divorce back when I was 18. Loving your channel -but you really need to check out The Caves of Altamira. Love from the UK.
We/I love your reactions to the tunes brother! Your enthusiasm encourages us to share also! We/I feel great sharing my tidbits of knowledge with my new fam jam.
I remember seeing Steely Dan at the Palace Theatre in Manchester, England back in 1974, they where fantastic then and still are. Glas you,re enjoying one of my favourite bands.
Sometimes when I was younger you would hear a band and just know ... Steely Dan was one of those bands ... isn't nice to know you were right. They have been one of my favs since I heard "Kid Charlemagne " all those years ago and so glad you have caught onto them. Keep on doing your own thing man ... we love it. Many blessings on you Jamel.
Would love to see you do a video on the band "Yes" heart of the sunrise is one of my favorite songs from them as well as roundabout. " I've seen all good people" is also a good one as well.
One of the great albums of all time. Not a bad song on it. And the guitar work from Jeff Baxter STILL gives me goosebumps. Awesome reaction Jamal, thank you.
" Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page has reportedly said that session player Elliott Randall's guitar solo on "Reeling In the Years" is his favorite solo of all time. " en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reelin'_In_the_Years Babylon Sisters is worth a listen.
This is such a good freakin song. One of my all time faves from them. I could say that about so many of their tunes though. This album had a little more of the rock/pop flavor with the jazz hints in there and obviously the brilliant studio mix. Always playing with time signatures too. So good.
You've listened to all the songs on Aja except "Home At Last" and "I Got The News", try those, I promise you'll agree the whole album is a masterpiece!
It is a joy to watch you groovin’ to Steely Dan - reawakened me to my love for their music. For sheer fun, you have to listen to “Daddy Don’t Live in That New York City.” Lyrically alive, musically deep in the funk, you will KNOW Daddy at song’s end. Can’t help but smile and laugh.
Here's a lesser known steely Dan song, "Cousin Dupree". A funny story about getting reacquainted with a long lost cousin, who, let's just say has "developed". Lesser known, but typically great steely Dan music.
This song takes me back to 1973 walking to Jr. High School and listening to the radio Man those were much simpler times! Agree on Supertramp. One of my favs back in the day.
Oh wow, I was thinking about suggesting Boz Scaggs as I was scrolling. I was having an anxiety attack the other day watching all the coronavirus news, and I stumbled upon a Boz Scaggs suggestion and it took me back to when I was a kid and my mom and her friends listened to that all the time. I felt better after that and got more sleep than I had all week.
You’re doubling up on their debut. That’s awesome. Amazing to consider that despite sounding like he was born 45 and cynical, Fagen was 23 when they wrote and recorded this.
Loving the Steely Dan stuff 👍 You need to have a go of some Supertramp tunes . Another band with songs you didn't know you know. Goodbye stranger is a great start
"... the things that pass for knowledge I can't understand..." boy that line is more applicable now than it ever has been in modern times. We now live in an age where kids go to college to learn how to be more stupid.
@@jimjames8660 , he's just sore that getting a degree in gender studies and being saddled with student loan debt only qualifies him to be a barista at Starbucks.
I think there's a difference between "hearing" a song and actively "listening" to it. There are plenty of songs I've heard countless times on the radio or whatever, but I've never took the time to attentively listen to music, analyze the different parts, discover what I like about the music, and try to figure out what the lyrics are about.
When Walter Becker passes away a couple of years ago....someone posted a Steely Dan video to Facebook that was pretty cool. Their classic...'FM'.....but set to a nighttime flyover ( by a drone ) of the Empire State Building. I think it was the 50th anniversary of the installation of an FM antenna atop the tower. And so a radio station arranged for colorful lights to play in sync to the song.
If you want to keep going, keep going. My list: "Pretzel Logic" "Night By Night" "Black Friday" "Don't Take Me Alive" "Sign in Stranger" "The Fez" "Green Earrings" "Haitian Divorce" "FM" "Babylon Sisters"
On his Black Cow review i made a list after running thru their discog. Somehow got deleted. Had everyone of these & more on it. Not doing that again lmao.
PLEASE keep reacting to music you might already recognize, because WE get the wonderful outcome of living again, through you, the FULLNESS of the offering these artists gave to us in our youth. You can't convince others. They have to feel it. Thank goodness for you. ❤️
This takes me back to Chickamauga Dam when I was just a little bitty fellow, between 3 and 6 years old. Oh yes! I still remember it! That was the hot summertime swimming hole just above Chattanooga, TN. Ah, the warm sun beaming down on the beautiful sunbathers that was way too old for me at the time, the smell of tanning oil in the air, and the crisp sound of Steely Dan on the AM radio. That was a time!
That's right we never seen your reaction to it before. That's a significant FIRST!! 😂I love how you appreciate the tunes, and all kinds! You're making me braver.

Elliot Randall is a true artist on the guitar! Awesome guitar work!
true that 🎸😊
I don't know why I let Steely Dan fade out of my life. Thanks for bringing them back to me! This has been fun!!!
Other worldly music, we were so so spoilt in the 70s.....there is absolutely nothing made today that can eclipse this music. Genius.
A day spent listening to Steely Dan is a day that's been enjoyed :)
Never heard a Dan tune I didn't like. I'm loving how you are diggin the old music. Enjoy.😚😚😚
Yes, also check out Supertramp " The Logical Song" "Take the Long Way Home" "Goodbye Stranger" and "Give a Little Bit" .
Stompie Joe I agree, but I’d add Breakfast in America the song off the album of the same name
Stompie Joe yes Supertramp
Supertramp INDEED!
Stompie Joe good call. Supertramp was amazing.
Great music
FM FM FM FM.......next. Dammit! You can trust us!!!!
This the correct answer. Listen to Steve, Jamel.
He’s going to absolutely love FM.
Ask...and you shall receive! Thank you! *Bodhisattva - Rikki Don't Lose That Number*
Rikki is another. I am an SD devotee but Rikki is over-simplistic compared to the rest of their work and the beat almost gets predictable.
Solid picks also Brian Setzer did Bodhisattva on the Me myself and Irene soundtrack and it's almost better.
Bodhisattva Jams!
@@freebirdtony I agree. great song
Especially the live version..........ua-cam.com/video/D-6Axpqeuik/v-deo.html
I loved Steely Dan from the first time I heard them, Genius musicians.
same.
heard them when they first came out...i like Countdown and royal Scam. then Aja the best.
Reminds me of my childhood. My parents use to have parties way back when and they’d play this. I was idk 7 or 8...great music to grow up to.
Luke O Smells like shag carpet. 😏
Ssme.
We would hear this on the school bus on AM radio. Good times.
I'm kinda envious ngl
Mine too. I used to hate their music but now I love it. Brings back such good memories
Love this guy. His genuine honest reaction is excellent.
The riff that sent guitar sales through the roof, and launched more than one musical careers....
Does ones heart good to see you making the connection with these songs that meant so much to us in our youth... we oldsters really had it good back then.
When a guitar solo starts a song, you know it's gonna be good. Jimmy Page says this is his favorite guitar solo ever...🎼
Still blows me away that Elliott Randall recorded the guitar solo in one take on the original recorded version. The sheer talent.
Jamal I’m loving your reactions, especially Steely Dan, looks like you are so digging it! Please..... Babylon Sisters!
Great song. Best song from Gaucho IMO
The whole album is simply beautiful!
Iwantmy Utube agreed, it was their height of refinement.
If you like steely Dan you should check out the band America. Suggestions: horse with no name,sister golden hair, venture highway, tin man
I absolutely agree. I love the band America. I like the song Sandman.
Yes!
Ventura Highway is a killer road-trip song...
Ventura Highway is one of my all time favorite songs. I have to sing when it comes on.
cammybaby01 Ventura Highway is beautiful.
TIMELESS PERFECTION! Once upon a time, real musicians who could actually sing and play.... imagine that!
