Steely Dan thread

[Schism]

Steely Dan, sound just like The Doors and Deep Purple?

Cool might check 'em out

I haven't heard much of their stuff but I don't like "Rikki Don't Lose that Number". "Hey Nineteen" starts off well but then fades into an anti-climax. "Reelin in the Years" is a top song and "Do it Again" is one my all-time faves.

Virtually invented the bespoke guitar solo - Larry Carlton, Jeff Baxter etc. So anyone remotely interested in guitar action must check their cataloge. Their DVD Two Against Nature is sensational - if you like a mix of funk, jazz shapes and pop hooks .. plus ALWAYS an incredible band of power rhythm and stellar horns.

Went to the Melbourne concert - way too short but a miracle to actually see them in action. Mostly from AJA ( see the Great Albums series DVD about the making of this record .. talk about perfectionists ! ) with a bit of Royal Scam and .. Black Friday.

My fav. track ( today ) is Cousin Dupree. If that doesn't get you moving, you have no pulse.
