Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
who?
and i'm a guitarist
not everyone who was once in a band needs to be front page news when they die
Fuck you Red. RIP....great musician, writer and a master in the studio. They put together some amazing bands and produced some iconic albums over the years.
C.H.U.D.

Steely Dan was Walter Becker and Donald Fagan...
Was in New York a couple of weeks ago and heard an interview with Donald Fagan... he is doing some shows work with some jazz players - younger guys.
Not crazy about jazz, but have a lot of respect for Becker and Fagan.
RIP

Any band that names themselves after a dildo is cool by me.
Steely Dan made excellent pop music, and it was far more sophisticated and creative than most bands. Nothing wrong with hating what they churned out, it's subjective. They mixed different genres, and were partially a 70s "white soul" band. But like Hall & Oates, or "The Average White Band", the music didn't move me deeply. I just liked it. Steely Dan were cooler and jazzier than Hall & Oates, they were more FM than AM radio.
I listened to "Aja" again, their hit late 70s hit album. It is cool bachelor pad music. Like Herbie Hancock's "Headhunters."
I compare the fine craftsmanship of Steely Dan albums to Stevie Wonder's great albums of the 70s. But Stevie Wonder's stuff is better, it's art.
Does anybody remember Steeleye Span? You shouldn't because they made stiff British folk music, and you should remember Fairport Convention instead.

I have 'Talking Book' on vinyl. That's pretty good too.

Back when these were on the radio I really liked them and so did most of the women I had in my car the really didnt go hard core jazz till they broke up and came back as Donald Fagin the night fly album it was called if I remember been way to far back to remember everything but I did like it, it really started to open my eyes to more than just a few types of music
WRY. CRAFTY. CEREBRAL. ACERBIC. THE PERFECTIONISTS OF STEELY DAN MADE DEVIOUSLY SLICK MUSIC.

The top 40 songs by one of the greatest bands ever and certainly the coolest. There is no one like Steely Dan, jazz-rock fusion, the lyrics combined with the bands style is just genius, so sit back, grab a pina col-ado and enjoy the DAN.
