Steel you-know-what

I'm a sucker for '70's music. Don't know, don't ask. Back in the days of my misspent youth, I'd listen to the Bee-Gee's. Stayin' Alive more precisely. Ah, that cheesy disco riff at the beginning. Makes you feel like John Travolta, and wanna strut around in platforms and bell bottoms. Uh-uh-uh Stayin' Alive, Stayin' Alive. If you know what I mean ( Read more... )

Yeah, Steely Dan is the shite, alright! Actually, I'm pretty sure DK would have been humming one of their songs all throughout the time you guys did your project! He's the one who introduced me to them, I think he was playing a Steely Dan song with that IISc band of his - a song called West of Hollywood. Funky shite :)

Strangely we never talked about Steely Dan...we seemed to be very taken up with Sheryl Crow at the time :P

But, heck, Steely Dan is DA SHYTE AWRITE

As for Steely Dan reccos, I'd suggest either Pretzel Logic, or Royal Scam as a good starting point. Katy Lied too, perhaps. All these have the classic Dan sound.

I started off listening to their first album, Can't Buy a Thrill, and I still like it quite a bit - though it's probably a little raw. The song I mentioned above, West of Hollywood, is from a newer album, called Two Against Nature. Very different Dan, but brilliant. Gah, I've got that song stuck in my head again. Damn you, DK!

A band that's named after a dildo... They must be good!
