As an older person, it makes me very happy to see younger people smile while hearing music they've never heard before.
Thank you, I enjoyed it.
That's me.
You can tell it definitely touched a spot in their young hearts..😊😊
Got to love these reactions to the music of greens and twenties. This music should never be forgotten
Steely Dan is definitely a rabbit hole you want to dive into. "Aja" (pronounced "Asia") is one of the great albums in music history and absolutely worth a listen from beginning to end.
Agreed!!
This!!
Yeah, but you definitely NEED a safety harness, so you can have someone pull you out if you get stuck 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
I agree.. I remember putting Aja on my record player and just playing it over and over
Go right to Aja or Gaucho to hear amazing production values and studio musicians playing Iconic Jazz Rock . Waste no time for aural eargasms !
Steely Dan is their own genre. You’ll see that as you dive more into their catalog of music. Their sound developed into a more funky, jazzy sound as they released each album. The best studio musicians were hired to work on each song on each album. Their grooves have been sampled literally hundreds of times. You’ll recognize their song Black Cow immediately which was sampled by Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz. I suggest a Steely Dan stream for these rock and roll hall of fame members. ❤️✌️😁
Good comments. While Steely Dan isn't my all-time favorite band (Zeppelin, The Who for me there), but I looooooooove this song. IMO, catchiest/smoothest guitar solo of ANY rock song. VERY smooth, mixing in the keyboards, etc...INCREDIBLE!!
Steely Dan: Your favorite band’s favorite band.
The guitar solo is actually Denny Dias playing an electric sitar and the organ solo is played by Donald Fagen on some cheap piece of garbage organ he found in a thrift store,but it produced the sound he was going for. Fagen and Walter Becker were maniacal about every note being exactly what they wanted.
Probably a Farfisa lol
@@MrRabbit43 it was a cheap Yamaha organ with a pitch bend. Very cool sound he got out of it
The keyboard solo perhaps but the main part is a Wurlitzer from what I've read
Hey TNT, Steely Dan were actually 2 people, Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, who surrounded their selves with the finest studio musicians around to produce a precise, clean sound.
Not at first. This debut album and the next 2, Countdown to Ecstasy and Pretzel Logic, were the original Steely Dan Band. Fagen and Becker actually joined an existing group of Jeff Skunk Baxter, Denny Dias, Jim Hodder, and David Palmer. They toured and were a typical rock band until 1974. Only after Fagen and Becker decided they didn't want to keep touring did they transition to a "studio only" band with dozens of guest musicians.
The 70's was the greatest decade for music because of the variety of genres and the incredible artistry from master musicians.
This song has a groove so wide, you could land a plane on it.
“Hey Nineteen” and “Black Cow”. Can’t go wrong with Steely Dan. Great reaction. 👍🏻❤️
Peg, Rikki Don't Lose That Number, and Time Out Of mind❤
You folk are just catching this, I heard it as it was gettn airplay as a 70s kid. Good sounds was just that.
Blow your mind with Alan Parsons .....y'all late fa sure
Great songs!!! I would add Peg in there as well!!
Midnight Cruiser, Ricki dont Lose that Number, Kid Charlemagne. Such great stuff!
They have zero bad songs.
I mean like ZERO bad songs!
One of the greatest bands of the 70's, hit after hit. Had rock on fire. Yes sir!!!
Steely Dan wrote songs about some of the grittier aspects of life. "Do It Again" was about someone whose vices led him to keep on repeating the same mistakes, "Dirty Work" deals with infidelity, "Reeling In The Years" is a reflection on a wild relationship with an unappreciative girl - and these are on the FIRST album!
P.S. "Midnight Cruiser" deals with a couple of guys who are doing a last hurrah on the streets that are different from when they were younger. A very melancholy tune with a smooth jazz sound.
The lyrics to Steely Dan songs are just about subterranean, they're cryptic and dense with meaning. Part of the appeal to many fans (I raise my hand as well).
Such a cool song. After 50 years I never get tired of it.
Steely Dan is a great band. “Do It Again” and “Reelin in The Years” are my favorite songs.
Great songs for sure but you need to listen to some more steely dan bro. Check out “The Royal Scam” album and let me know if you have any new favorite songs. After that maybe some “Countdown to Ecstasy” and some “Aja”, then “Gaucho”, etc.
One of the best ever bands to come out of the 70's.
My Mom gave me this song as a kid because I was such a hellion.
It's a song that only gets better with the passing of time.
Man you nailed it... Steely Dan has very cryptic music, and to her point you get lost in the groove so you don't 100% pay attention to the words. Exactly how this song and MOST of their songs can be described. Cryptic, hidden meanings and lost on the melody. Pure Genius.
I remember back in the 80s working at a top-end audio shop for home and car audio, we would always put on Steely Dan to truly hear the clarity of the speakers and the deep bass. Great choice of track selection!
I wish I could listen to this song for the first time again... So jealous
Reelin' in the years is the next song chronologically.
✨Then “Dirty Work”❕✨👍🏽✨
I feel that this should be the first Steely Dan song ppl should listen to when they are hearing them for the first time. It's the first song i ever heard by them back in 1973
It was the first song off their first album. That's why it was the first one most of us ever heard.
A monster hit. Even the black stations played it.
One of the best bands ever
You just can't go wrong with Steely Dan.
Steely Dan was probably one of the most versatile groups from the 70's for sure. I would encourage you both to look further into their music catalog because, this group turned out some great memorable music that definitely won't disappoint, " Peg " " Reelin in the years " " Deacon Blues " " Hey Nineteen " just to name a few.
So true. I'll add their songs, "FM," "My Old School" and Rikki, Don't Lose That Number"
Hey Nineteen is soooo funky
One of the most iconic songs ever recorded. I think you would really enjoy exploring Steely Dan - their music is phenomenal!
Yep, Jo..I had this album in high school in 74 -75 era. ..Dirty Work, Reelin' in the Years , Midnite Cruiser, etc.. Not a bad song on it...Ricki Don't Lose That Number , great also from another album.
I love both of your personalties... ..so engaging. Wonderful to listen and see your reaction. Tasteful, intelligent commentary.
Tasha is so cute moving her shoulders immediately to the groove. 😆
This track, the very first track on the very first album, almost immediately became a HUGE radio hit. How's that for hitting the ground running. This was the original Steely Dan BAND. Fagen and Becker joined forces as songwriters for this preexisting band forned by guitarists Denny Dias and Jeff Skunk Baxter, also included drummer Jim Hodder and vocalist David Palmer. They were a fairly typical rock group circa 1972 and toured from 72>74. Only later did Fagen and Becker want to stop touring and concentrate on their obsession with studio perfection beginning with the Katy Lied album. They wanted to push more in the jazz fusion direction from what started as a more traditional rock band.
So this song has been an iconic and popular Steely Dan hit and favorite and has been played on the radio for 50+ years now. Still as smooth as silk and cool as ever! Only Steely Dan can make a song about a gambling addiction sound so laid back and groovin.
Steely Dan nobody can sound like them so talented should be illegal
Eagles and Steely Dan were good friends. In Hotel California, the line "they stab it with their STEELY knives" was a shout-out to Steely Dan.
Reeling in the years, Peg, Black Cow, FM, Hey Nineteen!!!! One of the coldest bands of all time
Get ready for the fantastic voyage as you dive into the great Steely Dan. You will definitely be happy you did.
I consider this one of those songs that is perfect. I was born in 1968 and heard this song as a child. I loved it then and I still love it today.
You can't go wrong with steely Dan! A favorite song of mine from them is " kid Charlemagne" it's a jam ✌️
This Is Their Debut Album & The Perfect Place To Start..Once You've Heard This Album,, You Will Know Why They Are Considered To Be Absolutely Legendary Music Icons.
I was about 4yrs old when this song came out. Even the I knew this would always be one of my favorites songs. This song is perfect.
I was 5
We used Steely Dan for all my wife’s breathing exercises when she was preparing to have our 5 kids ! It just made for an easy & smooth rhythm & easy listening for these exercises !
Yup, a Band! Gotta do Steely Dan's - Black Cow, Peg, FM, Reelin' In the Years, and Hey Nineteen!
Oh lord, You have an entire catalog to go thru!!!!
I was lucky enough to see them a few years ago before Walter Becker, who is one of the original two members passed. I've always listened to Steely Dan and they didn't disappoint live 🔥👍🏼
Steely Dan is one of your favorite groups, you just may not know it yet.
Yes. You got it. Three mistakes, criminal, relationships, gambling are three examples used about humans repeating bad judgment done over and over without learning. The Leonard's spots haven't moved.
This song is some of the easier lyrics to decipher they wrote. If you react to any more Steely Dan you'll see what I mean.
I believe Steely Dan created it's own genre. I believe their sound is unique.✌
Donald Fagen and the late Walter Becker were the core of the group, but they had famous friends come in and jam with them on the albums. Michael McDonald and Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter (both are/were Doobie Brothers) are two I can think of off the top of my head, but there were others! Love their jazz-fusion sound!
Don't forget the incredible run with jazz/funk guitar god Larry Carlton
Bernard "Pretty" Purdie on drums is another GOAT they used from time to time!!!!
Larry Carlton did a lot of lead guitar for them also
@@patrickmurchison9145 Bernard is the MAN!
Perfection, and yes, every note had to reflect it, they not only had well known musicians, add female vocalist Valerie Simpson (of Ashford & Simpson fame)... Mr. Fagan's solo album "The Nightfly" is a tasty jazz treat, an awesome sax solo on the track "Maxine" 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Ol' Jack was a player. Living life again and again with his vices that kept breaking him down like a wheel tuning. Steely Dan has a remarkable catalog of music.
Hmmmmm,memories flooding back ,passion,pleasure ,groans and sighs,sounds of youth dancing between truths and lies,when my youth was full of warm hellos snd cold goodbyes,made you feel and think hey? THE DAN,,NICE TO SEE YOU FEEL IT,RESPECT
So many hits, a rabbit hole to get deep into.
Rikki Don't Lose That Number is another good one from them!
I think this is song about addictions - Violence, Kinky women, gambling
I'm a Fool to do your Dirty Work... what a great band!
Hah! Your reaction was PERFECT! Even back in the day:
-You like Steely Dan?
-Heard of them I think...not sure...
[Plays some Steely Dan]
-Oh yeah! I love that song...and THAT one...and that one...they are so good!
Once you hear them...mmmmm...delicious!
Yes, yes they are. Everything they did was spot on. Such a deep rabbit hole...I love F.M., Hey Nineteen, Reelin' in the Years, Kid Charlemagne, Ricky Don't Lose That Number, Peg, and Deacon Blues.
Walter Becker (RIP)...so talented
Yes "jump into more Steely Dan". All of their songs I've heard are awesome, and I've heard many.
Steely Dan is definitely a band.
That Coral Guitar solo!!!! (electric sitar) Love the reaction btw
FUN FACT: This song is about addiction in all its forms.
Do "Aja"!!!! From a 40 year DJ, musician and songwriter, its one of the greatest albums ever made....period!!!!
Seventies. Best decade in the 20th century for music imo.
Always the best musicians. Smooth and tight!
Fabulous song!! Love Steely Dan!!! Thanks y’all!! 😊😊
Steely Dan is one of the greatest bands of all time. Music is timeless, complex, funky, jazzy and you can listen to albums cover to cover and never get bored. Fagen and Becker, the two geniuses behind this music always used the best studio musicians to make their iconic music. The instrumental solos in their songs are so unique and special.
So many great songs to discover! I recommend My Old School, Bodhisattva, Hey Nineteen, Peg... the list goes on forever, dive deep into their rabbit hole 🐰🎵
This was the first song on side one of their debut album. Released in 1972 and it's still as relevant as ever. Go through their records one by one in chronological order. You'll be happy you did.
Glad to see you getting into the genius of Steely Dan. They are comprised of Walter Becker (R.I.P.) and Donald Fagan with many talented session musicians. I always considered them a sort of rock / jazz fusion band. You will find that the lyrics for most of their songs have deep meaning and add to the experience of their excellent musicianship. They are one of those bands who did not record a bad song. Enjoy the deep deep rabbit hole!!
Yes, except for this debut album, they had an actual band with Jeff Baxter, Denny Dias, David Palmer and Jim Hodder.
Uh-oh! Another rabbit hole! Steely Dan are Donald Fagan and Walter Becker (RIP) with many studio musicians who became famous in their own right including Michael McDonald, Larry Carlton, Steve Gadd, Bernard Purdie among many, MANY others. Enjoy!
Hell yeah! I love the way she was dancing to this! Lol nothing beats good music.
That is pretty much the same way I reacted the first time I heard this. The amazing guitar solo followed by those keyboards was mind blowing.
Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers are 70's classic bands
I grew up with this music, glad you're able to enjoy and appreciate it !
Watching you both bobbing and nodding, enjoying the music does me good. I had a bad day and after watching several of your videos, I am beginning to feel better. Thank you! ❤️
This is one of those classic songs that I will NEVER get tired of listening to.
Great band! Glad you are reacting to their music. They have an awesome vibe.
I can tell by the joy this song has brought you the this won't be the last time you will be having "the Dan" on your channel. They never made a bad song. They also deployed some of the best studio musicians in the world. There production quality is legendary.
Groovin to this song on 70s stereo there was nothing better there was a vibe to it. New words entered our vocabulary. Truly a great time to listen to music.
Funny, when Tasha said she imagined people back in the day in studio 54 doing the hustle to this, I said out loud to myself "do the hustle to "Do It Again?" As soon as I said that, she paused in the middle of what she was saying and said "you can do the hustle to this, it doesn't have to be disco." I didn't know Tasha was telepathic.🙂
I absolutely love this song
More Steely Dan, please! FM, Peg (Michael McDonald is backup vocals), Reelin in the Years. Good, funky music.
I remember being 15 years old and getting the album when it was released. The great things you never forget.
This was the first album as a teen in '73! This album was out before disco, and it really stands the test of time! Great reaction TNT!!
What does disco have to do with this?
Be careful listening to Steely Dan. They're so good and unique they'll spoil you 😄 One of my favorite bands. I have all their music. The album it's on has a lot of great tunes. Listen to their song "Josie". Has a whole different vibe.
Love their song Josie!! No one ever reacts to it though
@@Noelle0026 Yep. And I don't know why. It's such a great song. One of their best. It's got such a funky riff.
These guys were the IT Nerds of music - deserve PHD's for their research into each songs 'perfect sound'
One of the things that still amazes me about the seventies and late sixties music is the huge diversity genre and styles.
The very same rock radio station you listen to Mike play Steely Dan 1 minute then Alice Cooper another, then the Beatles, Gordon Lightfoot, Marvin Gaye, Black Sabbath and then ELO. Jim Croce, The Rolling Stones.
The list goes on and on and the diversity goes on and on. And whether it was a ballad or folk music or hardcore rock and roll 95% of it was outstanding music.
Well said. This same point was discussed amongst a group of us a while back. Especially centered around the 70's. An amazing period.
@@tommythompson9565 just in an amusing note: I even remember a little song called "The Music Box" that accidentally got mixed in to the rock and roll station circulation when it was intended as a classical tune and it ended up being a hit because people liked it.
Does anyone else remember that song ?
@@steveh7108 Is it Music Box Dancer, by Frank Mills ?

Listen to the beginning of this and then listen to the beginning of "Jesus is Just Alright" by the Doobie Brothers ... so similar drum intro and both are fantastic songs.
Woooooo!!!! DEACON BLUES and HEY NINETEEN ❤🔥🔥🔥🔥❤
Steely Dan has always been straight funky !!!!
Very insightful on the lyrics. And the music is hypnotic. It is definitely worth a second listening. The music and the lyrics are so good, they compete for your attention. Repeated listening reveals new treasures, that are seemingly endless. Great work! Keep going!
You need to do their later hits like Peg and Kid Charlemagne to see how their sound changed. They actually got better after each record.
Love you guys always great reactions ❤️ love from Australia 🇦🇺.
More Steely Dan! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I'm subscribing for your journey with Steely Dan. You're going to love it!!
