      Look in the dead wax, the original pressing number starts with "AB"
      After a few months changed to "AA" and all these and everything after sounds inferior.

      Their songs became like tapestries.
      I think what separates SD from basically every other band is that they have a songwriting sensibility that pays tribute to novelists, guys like Jack Kerouac and Steinbeck. That's why a lot of their songs feel so 'cinematic', they capture the essence of a short American novel in a few minutes. Each instrument is pivotal in capturing that.

      Whatever it takes. The records speak for themselves. The only rock/pop act in history who wrote 7 straight GREAT consecutive non-soundtrack albums.

Jay's solo is like a hundred times better than anything else I heard there. I bet this wasn't a hard choice for them at all, just the pain of wading through all of that dross to finally get to the money-maker. I'm glad they were patient!

      Yeah, not knowing much about them or of their era, I found them through hip hop sampling, i.e.: Peg- De La Soul, Kid Charlemagne-Kanye, etc. Now here I am wanting to get deeper, and these behind the songs gems w/ stems & the story/background are amazing that I keep finding on UA-cam... No wonder Steely Dan is bad ass they hire the baddest players to flesh out their ideas which is genius. Wondered how some of their tracks were so funky for a rock band? & it was b/c they were hiring some of the baddest jazz cats like Chuck Rainey & Bernard Purdie to come on and rip. Hear Chucks genius on "Summer in the City" - Quincy Jones (Should be a making of on here somewhere) also Kid Charlemagne is w/ Bernard P on drums.
      To anyone who dislikes hip hop sampling- well for those of us w/o music programs or parents that bought us instruments, this may be how we get into music & hip hop sampling has brought many artists back from near obscurity/history book realm of a ghostly library to living history, appreciation & a nice check or 10. Sampling has given many artists that really never had success (not in the case of Steely Dan, more Eddie Bo) , much success even much later w/ a whole different gen. loving & appreciating their music, finally 30-60 years later... sampling brings younger generations & people to good music & keeps not envogue music relevant, current & in the conversation.

    When I heard Steely Dan in the 70s and Fagan's NightFly in the 80s (I consider that to be the best album ever recorded) as a kid and teen, the sound of their albums were unlike anything I had heard - the crispness and tone was unmatched. Their music sold me on a vision of the future that I needed to fulfill for myself: a high rise apartment overlooking my city, Steely Dan playing on the stereo, perhaps a girlfriend, some drinks, a party etc. In the early 90s, my girlfriend at the time and I moved into such a high rise apartment, and I lived that vision. What an awesome time. Such great memories - and it all came about because of this music that was 4th dimensional to me. Sometimes I miss that apartment. Sometimes I miss that old girlfriend. But I still have the music.

We were both headed home, me to Oahu and he had just returned to Maui. I instantly recognized him and blurted out “Hey, Walter Becker” and reached out to shake his hand.

    Ironic how a song recorded when technology was so much less developed, destroys anything being done today. Becker and Fagan were rigid perfectionists, but they knew the genius of real players. That is the sign of real bandleaders and composers who don't have so much ego they won't let others shine at what they do. They actually built themselves up by stepping back and letting others do their best. This is a lesson that should not be lost on musicians of today. Bowie was another bandleader like that.

      Rick Marotta is a hell of a drummer. I've always loved his beat on Peg and it's great to hear him talk about it here. It's really cool to see him play it too cos I always wondered if he did it w/ one or two hands on the hats.

Just another day at the office. Geniuses. And to have both Aja & Gaucho as a result of such dazzling perfectionism !!

I thought about this song yesterday morning 9-21-2022 and I always thought the song was called "It's Your Favorite Foreign Movie". So I was yesterday years old when I found out the song is called "Peg"!!! --MY WHOLE LIFE HAS BEEN A LIE!!! -- can anyone else picture "George Jefferson" dancing to this?
