One of the Best of the 70s

Anyone here like Steely Dan?
I'm pretty much obsessed with them. The musical talent is unbeliveable. No matter what kind of music you rock to, you can't deny their superiority.

 

Fagan and Becker = magic

 

steely dan isnt bad. I like their early work. like 72-74 era

 

ya, im usually sucked into that era of music. you know, joe walsh, badfinger, steely dan, etc. I really do like it.

 

glad to hear you guys saying this. in another post here I expressed my liking for them and got shot down. you restore my faith!! thanks!!

 

Steely Dan are a band version of all the absolutely horrible crap that Rod Stewart put out after The Faces disbanded.

So, obviously, I can't stand 'em. :H

 

hahaha, so we meet again

 

I still can't fathom comparing Steely Dan to Rod Stewart. 1972, totally different types of music to me.

 

What about Van Morrison..... no one talks about him on here!!! Van kicked some ass!!!

 

With that comparison Chuck, I can honestly say, not only do you have a lot to learn, you have yet to learn how to learn.

 

haha... 'twas just my opinion

 

I am really not that knowledglable on music from the 70's but I do enjoy K.C. and Sunshine Band.

 

I do have SD favorites! Lots of them. Their latest is great all the way through.

I didn't like steely dan for the longest time, then as I started to get better playing guitar, I realized just how impressive becker can play. He's probably my favorite soloist, or at least the soloist I have the most respect for, and I really don't like guitar solo's at all anymore. His fit the song so perfectly, and genuinely add to the song in a way 99% of other bands don't. After I got turned onto that, steely dan took on a new kind of magic. My favorite thing about them is how so many of their songs have a personality to them. Hard to explain, yet it's there.
