Red Mosquito :: View topic - When did you get into Steely Dan?

The music is deceptively complex. I find myself often coming back because of how unexpected and intricate the song structures and movements are.

Oh totally. I think is simultaneously what I like and dislike so much about them. I'm very conflicted about this band.

Can't Buy a Thrill has this element, but is much more tuneful and accessible, which is why you should go there next. It's so great.

I just had a comforting vision: Doug, with his ponytail, shorts, bare feet and paisley shirt, listening to Steely Dan whilst grilling up some meat and drinking whiskey despite his doctor's orders. This is one fully-formed, totally chill RM poster in my mind.

Man, The Royal Scam is kicking my ass. "Green Earrings" slays.

Just listened to Countdown to Ecstasy on the way home. New favorite song: King of the World. Fucking A. I listened to it at least 10 times.

The back half of Katy Lied is fucking my brain. Filled with stunning flourishes of melody and instrumentation. "Your Gold Teeth II" knocks me out.

"Everyone's Gone to the Movies"...it's about a pedophile showing porno movies to kids, yeah?

Me and my buddy have this pact where if they are in the area we are 100% going.. skipped out on too many random shows SD are surprisingly really popular around here, a lot of my friends are fans.. it's completely normal to go out for a night and hear a bunch of Dan on the juke

Most of you dudes just arent smart enough to fully dig the dan. We all have limitations, it's just I have less than you.

I dig what I know of the dan, but I'm not well versed on their catalog. Dirty Work and My Old School are pretty great.

I'm gonna say the title track, Sign In Stranger, and Haitian Divorce are the greatest highlights.

Doctor Wu is special to me.
