I'm also going to vote up "FM - No static at all" as the next one to go for.. you can't believe how much of a difference that made to our listening experience...
There's some irony about two guys in 2021 listening to a song about a guy feeling nothing in common and too old for a 19-year-old girl in 1981 who doesn't even know who Aretha Franklin is.
"Skate a little lower now" Yes roller skating rinks were still a thing back in the 70s and 80s and you better believe this one got a lot of play there. Perfect groove for it.
Our hero, Don, writes about being over the hill, here. He was only 32-ish. We older guys can relate to the sweet young thing not knowing our musical heroes. Facts of life.
Moody Blues has somehow fallen in the cracks They deserve another listen soon because they have some gems and a unique sound - "The Story In Your Eyes," "Ride My See-Saw," "Gypsy," "Tuesday Afternoon," "The Question," etc.
I love that the beginning of the song was about a young person not knowing about earlier music and it makes the singer feel old, just like the comments you were talking about in the beginning of your review. I guess some things never change.
I was in a Music store picking up guitar strings about 6 years ago. Started to talking to a young couple. Somehow in the conversation REM came up and they had never heard of REM/ Kind of blew my mind.
Consider IGY from Donald Fagan's first solo album. An incredibly hook-laden, catchy, warm, upbeat song. The lyrics are dripping with sarcasm about a naive optimism about the future of the U.S. and the world in the late 1950s. A must listen.
I love IGY (International Geophysical Year). This and other songs on that album about what it felt to be alive in the late 1950's. I really dont think it is sarcastic-it is descriptive about the understandable hope of those times, recalled from a time when we know history. The IGY involved cooperation between the US and the USSR for the first time after years of a cold war-great reason for hope.
"Dirty Work", "Show Biz Kids", "Rose Darling", "Daddy Don't Live In NYC No More", just so many more to go. I don't like Gaucho that much, but I don't think they've hit a single song from Katy Lied.
Another great song that starts w/ a solo is "House of Broken Love" by Great White. It starts with one, has one in the middle, and ends w/ one, and they're _ALL_ kick-ass.
FM changed my world-both the Steely Dan song and actual access to FM radio. A Steely Dan song that's not mentioned much but that always punches me in the soul is "Charlie Freak". I second "Don't Take Me Alive". Your enjoyment and nuanced appreciation of music so many of us have loved for decades is a new joy in my life!
Born In early 70's...i got to experience all this wonderful music. I am thrilled you guys are seeking out and enjoying this music. You, Mr. Video and Jamal aka Jamel are just adorable to watch!
Babylon Sisters is one of the best songs theyve ever made and its on this album, with a killer groove and amazing backing vocals. Your next Steely Dan album should be The Royal Scam.
Steely Dan are masters at making "complicated" songs seem not complicated. I believe it's mostly in the mixing and engineering that the real magic happens. Their studio work is legendary.
Do it Again and Dirty Work are my top two SD songs hope you get around to Dirty Work now that you've done all the other big ones I can think of. Also hope you hit Beast of Burden by The Rolling Stones much love keep on guys.
Steely Dan was, is and always will be one of my top 5 favorite bands. Love their style, I don't know anyone that doesn't love them that grew up in the 60's and 70's
That is the best freaking analysis that I have heard. The “juggling” of the parts is a great way to describe what’s going on in the song. The guitar elements and the way they are inserted into the groove is genius!
I think it's time you guys hit Kansas again. They've got a goldmine of prog classics, and I think an essential song you need to hear at least 1 time in your life is "The Wall".
@@tmznt Really too many songs to get to. Such a great catalog, for most people i just tell them to do themselves a favor and just listen to their first 6 albums, saves them the trouble of having to choose a single song haha
I'm so glad you guys listened to this. Spoiler alert: someday YOU'LL be talking to a 19 year-old about your favorite music, and she'll look at YOU like you're a dinosaur! 🙂
"Don't Take Me Alive " ( you'll probably love the opening guitar solo - its a playlist song ) and " King of the World " ( very underrated gem that will hook you right away )
I've seen Steely Dan in concert three times and have never been disappointed. You should definitely check them out if you have a chance. Love your stuff!
One of my SD faves, and there's sooo many of them! Irresistibly in-the-pocket groovy, shiny clean mirror clear, and such masterfully delicate melodic interplay between keys and guitar.
Andy and Alex both in their own "Lost in the Sauce" worlds during "Hey Nineteen". 🐈 Andy seems to be "rocking" to the song, and Alex was off into another world. Btw, gents, I'm SO GLAD you'll get a chance to check the band out! Cheers! 😺
DO NOT MISS Steely Dan live! No joke. I have attended over 50 live shows in my life and this band is in my top 5. Since I am over 60 years old, I was lucky enough to see the Best. Just as an example, 1st live show was Led Zeppelin. 1977 Minneapolis MN. You will both be treated to a Rare Concert Experience.
The snare was generated by the very first drum computer called Wendel - built by SD engineer Roger Nichols (RIP). The solo instrument Fagen plays is not a synth, it’s called a melodium - very small analog keyboard.
No Static At All would be a good groove… And yes, definitely see them in concert! Give us a review, but go in as fans and not with an official capacity/mindset. Just fully immerse yourself into the experience!
Props to you guys for listening to all this great music. So many from the post-boomer generations don't even bother. You guys are discovering the best music ever that we boomers listened to all our lives - it was everywhere on the radio. Every time you turned on the radio there is was. So thanks for exposing the post-boomers to it.
I’ve seen Steely Dan a few times (unfortunately not a lot more than a few)… there is no way you will ever be disappointed! Definitely go for it!! When you’re in your 70s it will still be one of the best concerts you’ve ever gone to.
Nothing better than working at a conference August 2008 in Lake Tahoe, NV and the evenings Concierge Suite with a balcony and many available cocktails, was right above and over looking an outdoor venue with Steely Dan playing. We heard the entire concert and it was amazing. Nice perk!! Great reaction!!
"Hey Nineteen, that's 'Retha Franklin She don't remember the Queen of Soul Hard times have fallen, the soul survivors She thinks I'm crazy, but I'm just growing old"
Yep, the melodica. Clapton has a live version of Wonderful Tonight (on UA-cam) that has an absolutely beautiful melodica solo in the back instrumental part of the song. Just spectacular.
These guys been living under a rock? How else could someone have avoided ever hearing this classic before? GAUCHO is one of the greatest albums in the history of recorded music.
For your camping trip playlists - this one goes on your "Chillin' " list - it's night and you're gathered at the campfire. For me the ultimate chill song.
I don't think you have done Caves of Altamira yet. But my favorite is Show Biz Kids. Especially if you are going to a concert, because they got the Steely Dan t-shirts.
When you don't tour ('74-'81) you can focus on the music, production and assembling the perfect people to play on it. Donald Fagen - electric piano, synthesizer (solo), vocals
Steely Dan is vey special to me. Their music has gotten me through some tough times. It makes me smile to see you guys get excited about them. Doesn’t matter what steely Dan song you pick next. They’re all great!

We’ve done it…we’ve hit Deacon Blues and Hey Nineteen! Where do we venture off to next in our Steely Dan journey?! 🔥
Haitian Divorce! Please!! I've been asking you for over a year now!!!!
Glamor profession from the same album. One of my favs
Kid Charlemagne, Your Gold Teeth (first one), Parker’s Band…
Peg the backing vocals are sung by Michael MacDonald of the Doobie brothers.
@@westcoast1371 That’s Steely Dan 101.
I'm also going to vote up "FM - No static at all" as the next one to go for.. you can't believe how much of a difference that made to our listening experience...
Do the longest version please.
Agreed, excellent one to go to next.
There's a lot to choose from for sure!!!
If you do The Story in Your Eyes, do it with Procession transitioning into TSIYE. They go together.
The whole FM soundtrack album has a lot of good stuff. The movie is kind of corny but worth a viewing. A real time capsule.
There's some irony about two guys in 2021 listening to a song about a guy feeling nothing in common and too old for a 19-year-old girl in 1981 who doesn't even know who Aretha Franklin is.
😄
Deep breath... Yeah.
😁
Yes, but so long as they plied them with Cuervo Gold and some fine Colombian ganja, those 19 year olds were still willing…
@@mdahlin66 Cocaine, not ganja.
My FAVORITE Steely Dan song!
"The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing"
Yes, that song for that portion of the song. I listen to it almost daily.
what a flashback!! it's like they were there with me all those nights.
Say it again...
Not my favourite Dan song, but my favourite lyrics.
So true!
Babylon Sisters, with Bernie Purdie laying down the infamous "Purdie Shuffle" is an absolute MUST!
Oh yeah!!!
"Green Earrings" is a must as well.
There's so much excellent Steely Dan songs that A&A will be discovering new ones two years from now. Whole album reviews is the way to go.
You got to shake it baby you got to shake it baby you got to shake it yeah eah..
Exactly! It’s magical
Steely Dan is your favorite band’s favorite band.
Little Feat has often had that moniker.
Somehow, I doubt that is true.
@@burmajones803 I think you’d be surprised.
@@andrewtrotter9023 My favorite band is the Cure. Bowie is gonna win the day on that one.
"Skate a little lower now"
Yes roller skating rinks were still a thing back in the 70s and 80s and you better believe this one got a lot of play there. Perfect groove for it.
"Skate". I'm pretty sure that was a metaphor.
@@triscat heh heh. Yup. Slide on down maybe too? 🙄
And there was a snake like dance called “ The Skate” in the 60’s for which this beat was perfect.
@@triscat I wouldn't know about all that, triscat, just that it was very popular at roller rinks all over Chicago and I expect other cities as well.
I'm trying to picture either Fagan or Becker at a skating rink. Just can't see it. 🤣🤣
Yay! Finally! I love the groove of this one. Can we have FM (No Static at All) next?
When they finally hit FM they'll wonder what took so long to get to it.
PLEASE do the long version of it. It has both the guitar outro of one version AND the sax outro that seamlessly mesh together.
Fred Hall So true!!
It’s funky. Good choice.
The movie 'FM' is a Steely Dan fan must watch. Fun movie full of great music.
Heaven has Steely Dan music playing at various times. Love Steely Dan so much.
"The Cuervo Gold, The fine Columbian, makes tonight a wonderful place" Truer words have never been sung!
Our hero, Don, writes about being over the hill, here. He was only 32-ish. We older guys can relate to the sweet young thing not knowing our musical heroes. Facts of life.
they just pretend not to know Depeche Mode, playa
@@jimcarlson6157 Isn't that some sort of ice cream?
@@triscat you're thinking of hall and oates
"Babylon Sisters" was another huge hit off Gaucho, and for good reason. It's one of the grooviest pockets you'll ever slide into.
I saw them do it live on Austin City Limits, if I recall correctly, and it was just stunning, with the ladies singing the background chorus.
Yes. Bring the Purdie shuffle!
Yes! My favorite Steely Dan song!!
Shake it!
I wish I could upvote this more than once
"Any Major Dude" would be a good Steely Dan song to cover. Basically just keyboards and guitar.
The smile on Andy's face when the guitarist did the slide up the neck into a bend 😁
Moody Blues has somehow fallen in the cracks They deserve another listen soon because they have some gems and a unique sound - "The Story In Your Eyes," "Ride My See-Saw," "Gypsy," "Tuesday Afternoon," "The Question," etc.
Moody Blues gets my vote. Legend of a Mind is another one.
YES!
Absolutely!!!!!!
Yes! I really can't stand Steely Dan, _anything_ but another SD track.
@@scorpiorysing I get ya but SD was our transition band from college to the real world. "But rock and roll will never die" we hope.
I love watching people when they hear this song for the first time.
I love that the beginning of the song was about a young person not knowing about earlier music and it makes the singer feel old, just like the comments you were talking about in the beginning of your review. I guess some things never change.
I was in a Music store picking up guitar strings about 6 years ago. Started to talking to a young couple. Somehow in the conversation REM came up and they had never heard of REM/ Kind of blew my mind.
Was thinking the exact same thing, lol.
@@patrickhenry4675 I feel they kind of disappeared out of most people's worlds after New Adventures in Hi-Fi.
Ironic
So meta!
I'd vote for FM (No Static at All). Talk about when radio ruled and this is just a great song!
Consider IGY from Donald Fagan's first solo album. An incredibly hook-laden, catchy, warm, upbeat song. The lyrics are dripping with sarcasm about a naive optimism about the future of the U.S. and the world in the late 1950s. A must listen.
I loved the video for this song. Heavy 50’s-style animation! It got constant MTV play back in the day!
YES!! That entire album is incredible.
@@RockyMtnRebecca Took the words right out of my mouth! They definitely need to hit this album.
I don't think this would be well spent on them. That's one of my favorite Donald Fagen songs and they may be too hook driven to appreciate it.
I love IGY (International Geophysical Year). This and other songs on that album about what it felt to be alive in the late 1950's. I really dont think it is sarcastic-it is descriptive about the understandable hope of those times, recalled from a time when we know history. The IGY involved cooperation between the US and the USSR for the first time after years of a cold war-great reason for hope.
A+ song. "Dirty Work" should be next!
"Don't Take Me Alive" is a great Steely Dan song that you don't want to overlook.
Steely Dan songs: FM(with the guitar ending), Babylon Sisters(so smooth).
I'd say "Babylon Sisters", but if Alex is dying for "Haitian Divorce", I'm okay with that.
Haitian Divorce is hands down the best song they ever did so I'm very glad you mentioned it, very happy.
I am surprised no one has mentioned Dirty Work, one of my favorite.
Dirty Work is one of those hidden gem's SD throws in the mix.
When I've seen them in recent years, they've let the lovely ladies in the backup-singing crew take the vocals on this one. It's stunning! RIP, Walter.
"Dirty Work", "Show Biz Kids", "Rose Darling", "Daddy Don't Live In NYC No More", just so many more to go. I don't like Gaucho that much, but I don't think they've hit a single song from Katy Lied.
Steely Dan....My Old School. You'll LOVE it
The guitarist on this song Hugh McCracken was the busiest session musician in the world most of his adult life.
I just looked up his credits. He played on John Lennon's final album.
Busier than Dean Parks?
Kid Charlemagne, Haitian Divorce, Don't take me alive, Doctor Wu, Bad Sneakers
Steely Dan STARTS the song with a solo. Who does that? Also starts with a solo on "Don't take me alive"
and what a solo on dont take me alive. holy smokes.
One of my favorite Dan songs along with Kid Charlemagne.
Yes, they start so many songs with a solo. It’s crazy awesome.
Everything Must Go starts with an epic sax solo. Damn!
Another great song that starts w/ a solo is "House of Broken Love" by Great White. It starts with one, has one in the middle, and ends w/ one, and they're _ALL_ kick-ass.
FM changed my world-both the Steely Dan song and actual access to FM radio. A Steely Dan song that's not mentioned much but that always punches me in the soul is "Charlie Freak".

I think you would really enjoy "My Old School". It's got everything.
They did it already.
Old school is old school for them...
Born In early 70's...i got to experience all this wonderful music. I am thrilled you guys are seeking out and enjoying this music. You, Mr. Video and Jamal aka Jamel are just adorable to watch!
Brings back good memories from my college years. Any major dude will tell you that SD was always being played everywhere back then.
Any major dude with half a heart anyway
"The Cuervo Gold...the fine colombian make tonight a wonderful thing..." Such a tasty line!
Babylon Sisters is one of the best songs theyve ever made and its on this album, with a killer groove and amazing backing vocals. Your next Steely Dan album should be The Royal Scam.
ABSOLUTELY
They covered Kid Charlemagne.
@@histubeness, they need to cover “Don’t Take Me Alive!”
Green Earrings!
Awww I love that you guys love Steely Dan as much as I do! I love anything Steely Dan they are so awesome.
Steely Dan are masters at making "complicated" songs seem not complicated. I believe it's mostly in the mixing and engineering that the real magic happens. Their studio work is legendary.
If you love this, you’re really going to like Donald Fagen’s “Nightfly” album.
Agree. Title track or I.G.Y must be the next
I kinda count it as the last dan album from the original run instead of gaucho
Its VERY good!
I.G.Y. is a masterpiece.
@@mikedellinger872 You are correct!
This is THE song to test top line audio systems on. The clarity of the instrumentation. So crisp and clear
It's too clean, TBH. It takes no chances.
I love Hey 19 and Peg. These song came out when I was 12-13 years old. I still love Steely Dan! ♥️🎼🎵🎶
Josie is one of the best songs ever, not just one of best Steely Dan songs. Incredible incredible song.
“Skate a Little Lower, Now!”
Y’all just don’t know how that slapped at the rinks in 1980.
Do it Again and Dirty Work are my top two SD songs hope you get around to Dirty Work now that you've done all the other big ones I can think of. Also hope you hit Beast of Burden by The Rolling Stones much love keep on guys.
"Time out of Mind" from Gaucho. It's perfection and grace. It's the smile on my face.
You guys will have another song to rave about if you listen to "Josie"
I suggested that and "Chain Lightning", 2 of my SD favorites.
Please react to Steely Dan's "Don't Take Me Alive." Larry Carlton's guitar work is outstanding on this tune.
They listened to this song on one of the livestreams. I like it a lot too.
A favorite at the old roller rink. Good times indeed.
Hey Nineteen - Steely Dan was 1980.. That means 19 is now 60. Damn
Ugh i know...
Steely Dan was, is and always will be one of my top 5 favorite bands. Love their style, I don't know anyone that doesn't love them that grew up in the 60's and 70's
LZ, PF, SD...always top my list.
That is the best freaking analysis that I have heard. The “juggling” of the parts is a great way to describe what’s going on in the song. The guitar elements and the way they are inserted into the groove is genius!
I love it whenever you do a Steely Dan song! I’d love to hear them all over for the first time! 😍
FM (No Static at All) and Time Out Of Mind from the same Gaucho album are the next songs you need to hear.
The instrument you are referring to is a Melodcia. Sir Fagen uses it in several Dan tunes
I never realized how many until I saw them live years ago.
"Don't Take Me Alive" It opens with a guitar solo by Larry (Mr. 335) Carlton. Insane intro.
Definitely an incredible into!
Listening to the Dan always puts me in a good place. I'm lucky enough to have seen them 3 times.
I think it's time you guys hit Kansas again. They've got a goldmine of prog classics, and I think an essential song you need to hear at least 1 time in your life is "The Wall".
Kansas is awesome!!! They had some beautiful songs. They are terribly underrated. They got me through some stuff, I ain’t gonna lie.
@@lisaannbarriner9633 and they still do, If you havent yet I highly recommend their 2 latest albums
Totally agree, America's version of Yes. No one together would be great, especially during this time in our society.
Portrait(He Knew) is awesome too, by Kansas.
@@tmznt Really too many songs to get to. Such a great catalog, for most people i just tell them to do themselves a favor and just listen to their first 6 albums, saves them the trouble of having to choose a single song haha
I wish all the younger generation were like you guys! Well spoken, openminded and willing to be enlightened!
I'm so glad you guys listened to this. Spoiler alert: someday YOU'LL be talking to a 19 year-old about your favorite music, and she'll look at YOU like you're a dinosaur! 🙂
I saw them in concert back in the day and they killed it. Their sound was impeccable and it was a great vibe. The crowd really responded.
"The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing"
Back in the day Columbian was a really good herb for smoking purposes
REALLY good herb.
"Don't Take Me Alive " ( you'll probably love the opening guitar solo - its a playlist song ) and " King of the World " ( very underrated gem that will hook you right away )
Please do “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number”, stellar guitar work and groove. You won’t be disappointed.
they react to that song too
I must have missed that. Thanks!
I’ll always watch a Steely Dan reaction. I love watching people become a fan.
I have waited for this song review for SOOO long. My favorite Steely Dan song!
Oh boy, I was 19-20 when this came out...loved the vibe. Thanks guys! So glad you like it. 👍
I've seen Steely Dan in concert three times and have never been disappointed. You should definitely check them out if you have a chance. Love your stuff!
One of my SD faves, and there's sooo many of them! Irresistibly in-the-pocket groovy, shiny clean mirror clear, and such masterfully delicate melodic interplay between keys and guitar.
If you guys see them in concert you will definitely hear songs you haven't reacted to yet. Something to consider.
Because of the variety, I never get tired of listening to Steely Dan. Ranking is tough. There all just great. Depends on my mood what the best is.
Andy and Alex both in their own "Lost in the Sauce" worlds during "Hey Nineteen". 🐈 Andy seems to be "rocking" to the song, and Alex was off into another world. Btw, gents, I'm SO GLAD you'll get a chance to check the band out! Cheers! 😺
Watch that 🤤
It's one of the reasons I joined this channel. I figure " hey, if you get Steely Dan" you might be worth watching.!!
You can always tell when Alex is in a trippin’ state. Loving that sauce!!!
OMFG I love Steely Dan more every time I listen... and I've been listening a looooong time! Great pick guys!!
DO NOT MISS Steely Dan live! No joke. I have attended over 50 live shows in my life and this band is in my top 5.
Since I am over 60 years old, I was lucky enough to see the Best.
Just as an example, 1st live show was Led Zeppelin. 1977 Minneapolis MN.

"Don't Take Me Alive" (nasty guitars) and "Black Friday", which features Mr. "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo" himself, Rick Derringer on lead guitar
So sorry people are being toxic. Most of us think you gents are great!
100% agreed. Rock on A&A!!
Yeah, that's crazy. I for one enjoy seeing these young people experience music from my youth for the first time and appreciating it.
Steely Dan is gold pure gold! Glad you guys found them.
Props to you guys for listening to all this great music. So many from the post-boomer generations don't even bother. You guys are discovering the best music ever that we boomers listened to all our lives - it was everywhere on the radio. Every time you turned on the radio there is was. So thanks for exposing the post-boomers to it.

Nothing better than working at a conference August 2008 in Lake Tahoe, NV and the evenings Concierge Suite with a balcony and many available cocktails, was right above and over looking an outdoor venue with Steely Dan playing. We heard the entire concert and it was amazing. Nice perk!! Great reaction!!
Donald Fagen - "New Frontier" (or any song from the Nightfly album)
I love watching you enjoy Steely Dan. I get the same feeling every time
Any Major Dude Will Tell You next please
"The Soul Survivors" a sixties soul band. Look 'em up. They were cool.
"Hey Nineteen, that's 'Retha Franklin
She don't remember the Queen of Soul
Hard times have fallen, the soul survivors
She thinks I'm crazy, but I'm just growing old"
When we met Andy's sister last year for Alice Cooper's I'm Eighteen, I though she might come back for this one in 2021.
Yes...very clever.
You mentioned Haitian Divorce. I just listened to that tube for the first time. You two will like that tune.
The mystery instrument is the melodica. A combo of harmonica and piano. Do Babylon Sisters.
Yep, the melodica. Clapton has a live version of Wonderful Tonight (on UA-cam) that has an absolutely beautiful melodica solo in the back instrumental part of the song. Just spectacular.
Nope, this is a synth harmonica, played on a Prophet-5 synth.
These guys been living under a rock? How else could someone have avoided ever hearing this classic before? GAUCHO is one of the greatest albums in the history of recorded music.
Excellent! Great tune, also great to demo/test speakers!
That fade out on "Hey Nineteen" took them a long long time to mix until Donald was satisfied with it, reportedly it was 55 attempts!
While you're on the "Gaucho" album, do "Time Out of Mind"
My new favorite. It used to be Kings. Saw them in concert not long before Becker died. They played Time Out of Mind.
@@Boomslang55 I’m glad to hear you got to see them before Becker passed. I have unfortunately never seen them live.
For your camping trip playlists - this one goes on your "Chillin' " list - it's night and you're gathered at the campfire. For me the ultimate chill song.
You fellas should also react to "Josie"
They reacted to the entire Aja album on Patreon.
Well worth a dollar.
@@Manageode Oh it's ok. Andy & Alex don't need to pay me a dollar. I'll watch for free
That and "Chain Lightning".
This song is like warm butter. Come home from classes and put on the phones and just chilled. I remember this well.
I don't think you have done Caves of Altamira yet. But my favorite is Show Biz Kids. Especially if you are going to a concert, because they got the Steely Dan t-shirts.
That outro is an endless cloud of Steely Dan bliss that could go on forever.
When you don't tour ('74-'81) you can focus on the music, production and assembling the perfect people to play on it. Donald Fagen - electric piano, synthesizer (solo), vocals
This song is so grooving and in the top 3 of my fave Steely Dan songs.
Don’t forget the very underrated Bodhisattva! Another amazing guitar solo!
A jam indeed!
Yes!
Steely Dan is vey special to me. Their music has gotten me through some tough times. It makes me smile to see you guys get excited about them. Doesn’t matter what steely Dan song you pick next. They’re all great!
