Steely Dan

Might be my most listened to Dan record. I think it’s damn near perfect

I’m back again to say that the build into the “Katy Lies” verse of Dr. Wu is amazing

I love this song, but there is one thing that grates on me every time. I’m sorry in advance if now you can’t un-hear it…but that damn splash cymbal! It’s the ONLY cymbal he uses in the song and it just sounds so annoyingly tinn-y and repetitive as the song goes on. Just a minor grievance, great song either way.

I don’t mind it… I didn’t realize (until just now) that this whole record is Jeff Porcaro on drums.

Oh wow, didn’t know that either. I mean, he definitely slays on this album.

I also didn’t know until recently that they brought founding member Denny Dias back to do that guitar solo in Aja (the song), or that Rick fucking Derringer played on tracks on Katy Lied.

All the sessions players on Dan albums kick ass.

I love the Minutemen’s cover of Doctor Wu.

Agreed with this. Fire in the Hole is a fucking sick song.

That’s from the Aja classic albums doc. 10/10 would recommend

There’s like a whole mini documentary on the making of Aja. Would recommend it if you’re a fan.
