Like everyone else on the planet I've heard their hits, but until recently I had no idea of the depth of their musical chops. It all started with a co-worker who never shuts the gently caress up and my need to retreat into headphones. Check this poo poo out. The Fez, 1976 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQJ0rNX8Tjo Only a Fool Would Say That, 1972 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJm0E3ZtHlc Doctor Wu, 1975 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk04jBuyO10 Enjoy.

They even released an album in 2000, after a couple decades and it was still as good as their '70s stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cjlfc2Cymg0 They're like some kind of cool jazz-rock vampires I hope they bite me before I die

This is probably my favorite Steely Dan song overall ...but I feel the need to bring this track to everyone's attention since Steely Dan were into post-apocalypse even before Mad Max was cool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDKziWBZl70

Steely Dan III from Yokohama is a steam-powered dildo, which is not really something that comes to mind when listening to "Reelin' In The Years.

The notes on the cd with FM say it's fully digital "DDD." Pretty high tech poo poo for 1971 or so. A digital recorder was usually a converted 3/4" VCR; I could envision a bank of 24 of these all yoked together, clicking and clanking loudly to make the cleanest sound yet. No static at all.

During grad school, I would smoke a lot of  and listen to Steely Dan while avoiding finishing my degree. I love their music. They have so many excellent songs it's kind of ridiculous.
