When people say there's no such thing as white culture, point them to Steely Dan

That makes sense too. The first few songs on Royal scam are all great but the second half is kinda weak.

You're a dumb rear end. Haitian Divorce is one of their best songs

When I was 19 I thought Steely Dan was great but now that I'm 33 I realize they suck and everything they were trying to do was already being done better by other groups and in retrospect that had some of the worst mixing of any popular group of the 70s

The "wow different studio musicians" isn't actually that interesting as a motif and Donald Fagen is a terrible lyrcist

Also considering how they're supposed industry outsiders they sure love to financially rape anyone who tries to sample or cover their music to the tune of 100% of the publishing

Thank you for reading my opinion on Steely Dan.

what's it like being so loving wrong

I dunno you tell me

Steely Dan's mixing is so dogshit that it sounds like they don't have a bass drum at all except on like one song on Gaucho and maybe Black Cow

Fagen's lyrics are great

This isn't true at all, I know several black folks that gently caress with Steely Dan, especially Aja

Those black folks like white culture, it's ok for them to do that if they want
