-Our Intro Song "Feel the Love" From Alex's band
open.spotify.c...
I'm 65 years old, grew up listening to Steely Dan and all of the great music you guys are only recently discovering. 60's and 70's were the best time to grow up
Absolutely 👍
I agree, '60s & '70s was when modern music genres were first created. The big bang of modern music. Even Rap started in the late '70s! Today's Dance or EDM is the same boom clap boom clap rhythm from the Disco era.
All types of music had a big bump in the 60’s and 70’s. R&B, Soul, Rock, Progressive Rock you name it. It was a great time and all genres of music got inspiration from each other.
... 80's too
Every week at least one great classic album being released. Good times.
"I feel like this is how everyone used to look at Steely Dan fans."
As a Steely Dan fan in the '70s, I can confirm this.
Apparently you have to be a child of the 60's/70's to appreciate the song and the meaning behind FM (no static at all) . When AM pop turned to FM rock and then FM doubled down with AOR (album oriented rock) the wheels were truly off the bus. We started hearing the cuts on the radio that AM never played (because they weren't the cash cow hits are).
Here for the FM reference!
FM was such a huge thing back in the day! I remember using an FM converter in my car.
So true
The good old days!
It isn't as good a song, but Cliff Richard's "Wired for Sound" has a vibe about the early excitement around the arrival of truly portable music players.
I've loved Steely Dan's music since their beginning. I'll be 73 this month.
I've loved Steely Dan since MY beginning. Haha! Born in '85. Thanks to my parents for my great taste in music 🤘
Happy Birthday!!!
@@Cindrbell Thank you, Cindy!
Old. Not a chick. Listening to The Dan since 1972. YOU'RE ALL NEWBIES.
AND I LOVE IT.
@Joan In Florida Amen and Amen. Second Grade ~ Jacksonville, Florida.
Most overlooked SD album is KATY LIED. It highlights their transistion from the early days albums, to their iconic presence as musical giants. Don't let it pass you by.
I’ve never even heard of this album, I’ll have to check it out!
Critic Joe S. Harrington called Katy Lied the best album of all time.
And it includes my favorite Steely Dan line ever, "Just when I'd spent the last piaster I could borrow". You really need to hit Dr. Wu
Black Friday
My favorite.
All reaction channels should be run like yours. So professional, and so interactive and enjoyable. You guys really draw in your audience and leave us wanting more.
@UCgYkRHN6oT-z1_IFikM9hGA I agree with you. I love that they take polls and really care about what music we love from the past to enjoy. There is this Lost in Vegas channel that does reactions, they have over a million subs but they are no where as connected to thier audience like A&A. For young guys, they are doing an awesome job on many levels on here. There studio looks professional and interesting, they are working to make thier channel successful... the key is in thier song, it's way more personal and interactive here.
Yeah, I keep coming back despite them not reacting to any of my requests.
I agree, that was a quick 20 minutes. The girl on bass was spectacular! The girl who wrote the Steely Dan song absolutely nailed it. Wish I could hear more from her.
@@goaliedon I actually meant thier usual format of reacting to our favorite songs from the past. Thier live music reaction chats too.
Are you Alex's or Andy's relative?
That was excellent. I've been trying for a long time to get younger people than me, to listen to Steely Dan. I'm 74, an old musician, and highly inspired by their music. It makes me so happy to see so many "youngsters" getting to know some real music. Thanks for this.
I’m 56 and coming from a G- Xer I know that a lot of us absolutely love S/D.
I remember this was all over the radio in the 70’s when I was a kid, but when I hit my teen years I got into a whole ton of other kinds of music.
Now that I’m a middle aged guy that still listens to lot’s of different kinds of music from the 70’s 80’s and 90’s, I absolutely enjoy listening to the Dan. They bring back lot’s of good memories.
I'm oddly thankful that there's a new generation discovering the music with which I grew up, generally, and Steely Dan specifically as they have been one of my two favorite bands since H.S.
Thank you, Alex and Andy for helping connect the generations.
This right here^^^
Hey, it's never too late to start listening to Steely Dan.
I love it when younger people discover older music. It’s a win-win for the bands and the fans of all ages
I. Love. This. So. Much.
However you get into Steely Dan doesn’t matter. The more the merrier. A band that’s brought me so much joy and comfort over the past 4 decades (I got into them around 1986) can never have enough fans.
You guys are just entertaining AF.
One love.
I’ve been a fan since their first album. So many songs you haven’t discovered yet like Dr. Wu, Haitian Divorce, Green Earrings, Gold Teeth, Babylon Sisters, I could go on and on. ✌️♥️🎶
COSIGN
"the rings of raaaaarre de-sign"
Razor Boy is such a great song.
... FM, Pretzel Logic, Any Major Dude Will Tell You, The Boston Rag ...
Rose Darling .... Almost Gothic..... Gaslighting Abbie... Everything Must Go...and one of my favorites West of Hollywood. You guys have barely scratched the surface and it's fun watching you discover the golden gems to be had. And then there's the Lost Gaucho album. You'll find out.

Alex and Andy - In 1977, i had a small, red, transistor radio. I had to play it low, because my father could hear everything that went on in the house and would not have approved. Rochester NY had a radio station that would play full albums, and that night they were introducing Aja. Oh, man, the sounds that came through the radio speaker and through my pillow. (I had to hide the radio under my pillow). It was the first time I heard the song Aja...and it has been my favorite song ever since. Steely Dan, my favorite band.
Young people do seem to enjoy Steely Dan, and it is terrific that reaction video's give us a chance to share the moments. Thanks for doing what you do, and do so well.
Ken
When "Gaucho" dropped I had just been made editor of my college daily. I had vowed never to interview any more rock stars, a college newspaper staple. Then the lady from MCA(?) called and asked if we wanted to talk to Steely Dan, who were famous for not talking to the press. I was going to stay no?
LSS, a few days later Donald Fagen called. He was not only friendly, he was modest. He asked me as many questions as I asked him: what did we listen to down there (Houston), what did I read, did I like his new record? I went on to a long journalism career, but I never wanted, nor needed, to talk to another self-possessed rock star, and Fagen left me with a wonderful memory of that time.
The girl who composed her own song definitely had the Purdie Shuffle going on the drum track.
One of my most favorite Steely Dan songs is "Bodhisattva". Becker's guitar playing on it is pure genius.
Denny Diaz and Skunk Baxter do the guitar solos on that one. Diaz had a very distinctive style in that he played jazz notes all over the fretboard but, unlike practically every other guitarist, he never bent a note. And of course he's all over their first four albums, first three in particular.
The first time I heard “Reeling in the Years” on the radio in the spring of 1973, I became a life long fan. The state fair had 11 days of great concerts. One was Elton John, touring in support of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, with 3 open acts. I forget the opening act, but the second band was “Southerland Brothers and Quiver”, a one hit, but great song. The 3rd act was Steely Dan. Steely Dan didn’t play! This was when they were a band. The reason given to the audience of 25,000 was there wasn’t time for them to play as all bands had to end by 10:00pm due to complaints from neighbors. Years later, a guy argued with me, insisting one of the other bands used Steel Dans amps and blew them out.
Same here! I was 12 years old in summer '73 when "Reeling...." was all over the airways. Huge AM radio Top 40 hit!
@@mowerdan8133 I was 14 in 73, Led Zeppelin was king, and anyone into AM radio would have been laughed at.
I was there. You know it!
Me too. Loved them immediately. I have every album, they're all amazing
That SUCKS, given how limited your chances were to have seen them back in the day. Skunk and Denny on guitar? WOOOOO
I'm 60 and remember listening to "Ricky Don't Lose That Number" at a high school party. That got me hooked. My sister and I had every one of their albums and used to play their vinyl constantly. I know the words to almost every song they've ever played because, back in the day, there was no social media at all. Music was and still is my favorite thing to do! It was my main source of entertainment besides concerts back then. You can tell you're a music freak when you still get goose bumps hearing certain songs 30 years ago. Cheers!
Going on FIFTY years!
66 year old here, been huge Steely Dan fan since the 1970s.
"TIME HAS COME TODAY" - Chambers Brothers - Album long version, then Live version.... PLEASE, and Thank You. Have a splendid day.
Great song
The amazing thing about Steely Dan is every time you hear a new song, you think it might be the best one you've heard..
OMG absolutely!
At 8:31 the song is named "only a fool would say that" It's got great guitar solos and background. Must, must must listen!!!!!!
It's every bit as good as "Dirty Work", too.
@@hampyonce Better than Dirty Work
"Dirty Work" is also used really well in the opening of the movie "American Hustle."
Dirty Work is solid but it wouldn't sniff the SD top ten. They have so many great tracks that is should be expected that top ten lists will be varied.
Royal Scam was one of the first 10 or so albums I ever bought, back in the day. Still love it.
Fun video guys!!! At least they can appreciate Steely Dan like we have since ‘72!!🤘🔥
Steely Dan fan forever! "Peg" is one of my favs. My 35 yo son can recite "Deacon Blue" by heart due to the fact it was his bedtime song for years.
What amused me about this is how much my mother, who was born in 1922, loved Steely Dan. She definitely didn’t love all of my music in the 70’s, but Steely Dan really did it for her. She would definitely be shaking her head over these TikTok videos. But I guess it goes to show you how their music transcends generations.😁
I am laughing so hard. This may be my favorite A&A video ever.
Wait until they learn what the name "Steely Dan" is in reference to (the Tokkers that is).
Most probably won’t. But wouldn’t it be great if some do and that prompts them to start reading Burroughs (I’m a huge uncle Bill fan) and all the Beats. And then listen to musicians who might be connected to or influenced by that period of poetry and literature. (e.g., Kurt Cobain; Laurie Andersen).
Laughed, too long.
I'm sure they know lol
Amazing that SD is having a "breakout" in this generation. It’s inspiring that this music is re-awakening.
This is amusing. I'm glad they are discovering the greatness of the music. I remember being into Steely Dan in HS. It wasn't cool. It wasn't mainstream. I didn't care. My friends were into it. We were jazz-fusion nerds. A year later, I went to college. Everyone I met was into Steely Dan. It felt weird. I wasn't used to belonging to the mainstream. LOL I wonder if the young ladies know the origin of the "Steely Dan" name. Bzzzzzzzz.
You think they read Burroughs?
@@BoomerMcBoom Hmmm Maybe.
Yes we do, and it's hilarious, we also know what "A babies arm holding an apple" means from The Tubes "What Do You Want From Life" 1975 :) edit....Oops, I guess you can't classify me as a "young lady", but I'm pretty sure if we knew it back then, they know it now.
When did you go to high school? When Aja came out, it was playing at every party I ever went to. Class of 77.
@@Roadrun100 Class of 74. I'm a musician, so I hung out with other musicians. In college I had a job in a stereo shop that was in between a record store and a music store. So everyone I knew was into music in one way or another.
You guys have the right take on this. Welcome the newbies to the club and encourage them. Don't be a pissy gatekeeper trying to be exclusive. The more Dan out there, the better.
Nobody seems to understand that TikTok isn't actually people getting into it. These are people riding a trend who won't listen to it in 2 months or less. That's how TikTok works.
@@eboethrasher thats how anything cool works in any point in time EVER. tik tok just happened to be our generation's most used platform. maybe chill?
People are STARVED for good music!
“Here at the Western World” only found on Steely Dan’s Greatest Hits album Gold, and their box set, Citizen Dan
I’m a Dan fan since the 70’s, and it’s my favorite song.
Ruthie will give you the silver key, to open the red door 👍👍👍👍
We got your skinny girls
Knock twice, tap with your cane…
Klaus and the Rooster…✌️✌️✌️✌️
In the night you hide from the madman you're longing to be. ..
BTW A top 10 for Steely Dan is nearly if not impossible. A Top 25 in the least.
Here At The Western World, a definite hidden gem and a top 3 for myself plus any cut from "Can't buy a thrill"
Really enjoyed that segment guys, espec the SD Tok bits. Hilarious and fantastic to see yet another generation get into SD.
And all this is following a trend now with the popularity of 60-80s music with Millennials, to the point where current music is being out sold, by 70s music in particular. Loved it!
I'm 65 and been listening to the Dan since I was 14. Super gratifying to have all these youngens getting into them.
Definitely need you two to hit Any Major Dude and Kid Charlemagne. Absolutely 2 of their best!!
they did Kid Charlemagne
@@jirimondo Yeah, I actually found it from this post. Nice. It was like a year ago. New they had good taste. Thanks
Thanks for turning me on to this. I love the fact that kids are getting into it. Reeling in the years was the first single I ever bought and they are about the only band outside of The Beatles that I’ve listened to every year for the past 40 plus years. Yes, I am old but damn, steely Dan are and were great. All hail their majesty
61-year-old Steely Dan fan here. I love this! Thanks. Listen to Kid Charlemagne. The Larry Carlton guitar solo is one of the best ever recorded.
I'm 68. I have purchased and have listened to every song. Have always loved them. Wife won't let me do the bald guy w/ ponytail thing. For me 1. Reelin In The Years 2. My Old School 3. Peg 4. Josie 5. Aja. Aja in particular, Steve Gadd changed modern drumming forever. I play & he's my hero.
Bought my first album in 72. It's great too see so many young fans of SD. Most of them were not alive when these songs were hits. Sad thing is I have a few 8 tracks of SD all their albums all their cassettes and CD's now all of it can be put on a thumb drive. We've come a long way.That one girl was right about Caves of Altamira! I had the pleasure to see them in concert. I might be old but we had some kick ass music. My favorite will always be Steely Dan
I named my daughter Josie (from Aja) and she's 5 now and I feel vindicated THANK YOU
I named my daughter Alexa way before that’s stupid app and anything Apple does. I think all the Alexa’s should sue them for taking her name that’s actually a real name
I feel sort of robbed! In my teens to now, I've NEVER seen this level of love for Steely Dan by attractive women!! Now, I'd feel weird being a Steely Dan 'daddy'!! Arrgh!! Hahahaha!!!
Like the guy in Hey Nineteen, only this time you have something in common
I love watching you guys talking about Steely Dan!! I am 64 yrs old and the first time I heard the "Can`t buy a thrill Album" I was hooked!! Such great music! No matter what mood you are in Steely dan has lots of music to make you feel better!! I listen to them every day!! Can`t wait to see your reactions to more of their songs!! Be safe and thanks.
It occurs to me that, with all the double entendres you guys are throwing out, there’s another level when you know what a “steely dan” is. 👀
You know, don't think they've mentioned how SD got its name yet. 😁
Most people don't know what it is, but we do 😉🍆
In A&A’s 2nd or 3rd SD reaction, Andy says something like, “apparently it’s another term for…y’all know”. That’s not verbatim, but it’s close. Anyway, they know.
even when you know All of Steely Dan, your fav can change day to day
I've loved Steely Dan since I was 10 in '74. They are the soundtrack of my life. So glad to see younger generations discovering their genius.
They are a phenomenon.
Steely Dan is your favorite band's favorite band. I grew up on them. And New Balance shoes??? I'm 61, wear cowboy boots, work outside, here in rural Texas, and I'm still jamming to the Dan.
Love Steely Dan, but I was just listening to Chicago on my fabulous stereo. Please revisit them and hear "(I've Been) Searching So Long". Massive.
Ha! This is so great!
I’ve been a Steely Dan fan since their first song came out. I was in high school at the time. So many years later, I still love that group.
As a 51 year old ...its nice to see how a younger generation views the band's that were the soundtracks of my life..that little glimpse of such amazing and talented young people..yourselves included makes me sigh in relief..that there is hope for the future. Keep it real and fun in the Freedom Shak!..liked this a lot.
I just got reintroduced to "Take me Alive" from Royal Scam. Totally forgot about this little gem. Check it out!
Don't
My kids grew up on my music. My daughter is 27 and loves it! I mean it’s important!
Well I’m dying cause I’m wearing a ponytail right now and grew up on Steely Dan lol! I’m 32 and grew up originally in Reno and anytime I hear Steely Dan reminds me of the casinos and my dad. Don’t watch Euphoria, but hey, more exposure to amazing music that should always be recognized and treasured is always what I’m about.
I think today's kids are just starved for good music. They have to go back to the 60s and 70s to get it. The music was part of our souls in those days.
Steely Dan will be in concert in October 2022 in Florida......I will check the Billboard charts to see if the younger generation is buying their music.
Can't tell you how cool it is to see a new generation diggin' the Dan.
If more modern day music was similar to what gabirosemusic did I’d definitely be vibing with music of today. I’m so happy Steely Dan talk is a thing. The more people who know who Steely Dan is the better and hopefully people are like you guys and won’t get discouraged from the SD gatekeepers.
Tell it, Turd!
This is freaking hilarious! TikTok here I come, jk! Oh, and that bass solo was 🔥
I’m 40. Grew up listening to SD because they were my dad’s favorite band. Now they’re my favorite band and my elementary age kids are growing up listening to SD. They will never get old.
Steely Dan is too tier. Top shelf, 100 percent of the time. 💕
#2 were pants that we actually wore in the '70's. Add a tube top and she's all set.
Loved this video. I got so addicted to Steely Dan in 2019 and still am. I bought all their LPs on vinyl from discogs and I shuffle all the. LPS on Spotify regularly. I think it's bloody brilliant that a younger generation are feeling that same choke hold of Steely Dan when it gets you in its grip. The music is just too good and it has broken through. This makes me very happy.
I can tell you where I was when I first heard Steely Dan. My freshman year of college sitting in a friend's dorm room at the University of Colorado in 1972. So blown away I went out the next day and bought the album.
Andy - You're absolutely right. "Dirty Work," a great song in own right, will fall out of your Steely Dan top ten as you hear more of their music. So many great songs.
Absolutely. "Dirty Work" is OK but these boys have heard nothing from "Katy Lied". Let's hit 'em with "Dr. Wu".
"Dirty Work" is the Ying, and "Fire In The Hole" is the Yang.
That's supposed to be Yin. To the Yang.
Whoah, this is a thing? Steely Dan having a moment in the gen z zeitgeist. For me, a millennial, it was my dad’s favorite band, and am so glad i was raised on all this goodness. So basically the kids are feeling grandpa’s favorite jams. This is beautiful. So glad i made to the Hollywood bowl to see them with pops a few years back. Rip Walter becker
You guys should hit "Turn That Heartbeat Over Again" sometime. It's a *trip*.
Right on boys! I'm 70 a huge Steely Dan fan from the beginning and I wear NB running shoes!
eye shadow playing bass from Kid C - yes yes yes. Oh yeah - the red haired girl absolutely nailed it
Impossible to pick a top ten list! All of their songs are great! Been a fan since I picked up the Can’t Buy a Thrill album from my sister’s pile in the 70s. Have listened to them all and can never hear them enough! Dan Fan forever!!
I might be the oldest Steely Dan "Daddy's Girl" you ever encounter. My dad (now 81) is a huge fan and played their music a lot in the 70s when I was a little kid. His love of them has transferred to me. I was 16 when "Hey Nineteen" came out. I'm excited to see my favorite band discovered by new generations!
Yeah, that Steely Dan guy is super talented. LMAO!
I’m 56 and have loved Steely Dan since the 80’s. In fact, My dogs name is Deacon Blues. My vet says it’s the best pet name he’s ever heard 🙂
I listened to them in my teens, on vinyl, on a monurail record player in my room, we all did. I am old enough to be your Gramma! These tic toc girls got nothing on me!
My dad is obsessed with steely Dan we listen to steely Dan on every road trip ritually 🤘they’re great
As a guy with a B.A. in Communications/Journalism, I'm so proud of you guys going Woodward & Bernstein on music related stuff. A long distance proud papa bear hug to both of you!
There’s so much SD that awaits you. So many amazing songs. They don’t do bad songs.
Agreed. They have fewer bad songs than the Beatles. The score is as follows: Beatles 3 Steely Dan 0.
"Gatekeeping Steely Dan"...a phrase I never thought I'd ever hear.
Signed: an old man with a pony tail
Guys, you really need to check out "Any Major Dude Will Tell You", great vibe, tasty lead guitar, good lyrics.
Another Fun Fact: the drummer for Donald and Walters band before Steely Dan's first album came out was comedian Chevy Chase (Nat. Lampoons Vacation movies, Caddyshack and others)
You guys are the best. You guys should still play Josie and FM(No Static at All) by Steely Dan!!!
Steely Dan is a mood, as they have something for everyone and anytime! Anytime is a good thing!
I’m not that far into this video and I just can’t believe it! I guess I underestimated a lot of young people. I’ve been a huge fan from the very first time I heard one of their songs.
Back in the day whenever we would go to the store to buy stereo equipment we would bring a Steely Dan cassette tape that we made (not premade) to evaluate the quality of the equipment we were looking at. Their production quality is impeccable. They have certainly stood the test of time!!!
I'm way too old for all this tic tok stuff or whatever, but a convo about Steely Dan is always fun.
I’m not even kidding this might be my favourite A&A video, I can’t recall I time I’ve laughed more at one of these videos
I felt so alone in my dorm room (circa 1980) the only one listening to Steely Dan. (But it was also kinda glorious.)
How dare you two get me in such a good mood with a reminder of the excellence and grooviness of Steely Dan!
For the record, I've been listening to Steely Dan for over forty years and I wear Asics.
Since you're back on the Steely Dan vibe, you might check out a couple Joe Jackson tunes that channel their energy - "Steppin' Out Tonight" and "Breaking Us In Two".
By the way, I'm 55, love Steely Dan, and I don't wear New Balance. The only pair of sneakers I own are Vans.
Look Sharp great album 👌
In his autobiography, Joe Jackson listed the Dan as a huge early influence and he covers them live a lot
I don’t understand why gatekeepers of any music would watch a reaction channel since the joy is watching someone discover a song that is new to them. I can’t wait to see you listening to my old favorites even if you don’t love them like I do. 🤷♀️
Babylon Sisters (shake it)... IS one of my faves of the Dan, who, I have been a fan of since Can't Buy A Thrill came out in the early 70s.. I was all of 13. There are SO many that you've yet to hit.. you haven't even scratched the surface. Have fun!
The outfit to go with was definitely number two! 😁 number three looked like one of the groupies from Almost Famous. 😁
OMG guys fantastic. I loved it. This could be a whole thing. I freaking lost it when Andy said "chokeheld" I spit tea all over my poor dog. The reason the dog was there you ask? Because anytime he hears Steely Dan he comes running. True Story. As always fantastic guys. Stay safe and peeeeace ouuuuttt.
Finally TikTok has something that isn't terrible. I love getting the younger generations in to Steely Dan. A Decade of Steely Dan is my favorite album of all time.
I'm with y'all.... The more the merrier. I love classic rock music because I was brought up listening to it from my parents.. but we gotta welcome anyone who wants to join the bandwagon! How great that these classic artists are getting recognized again decades later by a whole new generation!! Like the longboarder with cranberry juice listening to Fleetwood Mac. They literally were back on Billboard charts after that!!! LOL
you guys hit the nail on the head about any steely dan song can be someone's favorite and you wouldn't argue with their choice. you guys really need to do their entire catalog.
Great to see a modern show bring back Steely Dan music to the younger generation. Thanks for the sharing the Steely Dan Tok videos.
I was a new Steely Dan fan once but that was back when Steely Dan was new.
