Some of the finest music ever produced.
I think in 2025 we should all install shag carpet, wear bell bottoms and silk shirts, mix up some martini's and groove on house parties with Steely Dan non-stop for the entire year.
I lived all that in high school!! GOOD TIMES!! Maybe not martinis, maybe a kegger, with the red solo cups!!
Steely Dan songs are so unique. You instantly know who it is. Phenomenal band.
Yes, this is such a classy fusion of r'n'b, funk beat and jazz - and with unique chord progressions. The progressions are a legacy of their early interest in jazz, for sure, and they're found all over the band's recordings and on Fagen's solo albums. "Josie" was one of the first songs I heard with them.
We didn't know how lucky we were to have great music like this with actual great musicians on the top 40 radio playlists back then..
The sheer joy on your face almost right from the get go!
That is the groove that is Steely Dan! There are TONS of tunes throughout their career you'll enjoy! Groove on!
this Young woman has groove in her soul, this maks me happy.
Steely Dan is a great American rock band founded in 1971. They had a lot of great hits such as "Rikki Don't Lose That Number", "Hey Nineteen", "Dirty Work", "Peg", "Do It Again", "Aja", "Kid Charlemagne", "Reelin' In The Years", "Deacon Blues", "FM", "Show Biz Kids", "My Old School", "Babylon Sisters" etc."
And about 12 more radio hits....
Steely Dan's production is next level. I became an ibstant fan when their first LP dropped. Every album is a gem. Their songs are very diverse too❤
Steely Dan lyrics are always great .. interesting, descriptive, snarky at times, with just enough vagueness to allow personal interpretation. Glad you liked this one Tasha. Enjoy the Steely Dan journey.
What a great dancing reaction to one of the best songs from maybe the best album from one of the greatest musical ensembles ever.
period.
Thank you 😊
You can start with the first song on the album and go through them in order. Every song is a classic.
Steely Dan was only a "band" for a few short years in the early 70s. The two principals, Fagen and Becker, went "solo" after that. They had incredibly strict requirements for their studio musicians and vocalists. I believe it was the insistence on high quality that made them successful They are firmly in my "Top 5 all time artist" list. You just can't go wrong. Great reaction! Enjoy!
They were "a band" again in 1993/4 and then again after 2000, until today.
One of my favorite things about The Dan is that all of their songs are steeped in meaning. The Royal Scam is about the plight of Puerto Rican Immigrants, Kid Charlemagne is about a famous LSD maker, Glamour Profession is about a high class coke dealer, etc. Believe it or not the inspiration for Josie was actually Walter Becker's dog.
Seems like she may have been an entertainer,beautiful,wild,party girl,that everyone was drawn to.
Glad that grabbed you. You're listening to one of the most perfectionist groups in the music industry. It was 70s but what the heck! It's timeless. Thank you.
Steely Dan is such a fantastic band!! Have always enjoyed their music 😊
I'm in my 60s and still dance around with especially Steely Dan music! ❤
This came out when I was 16, wore this album out playing it. Started playing bass about the same time....still playing 48yrs later. This tune is permanently engraved in my brain
Excellent choice. One of my all time favorite bands. I don't really have a favorite album or song by these guys, their music is that good. Just randomly pick any tune and it'll be a good one. The coolest sounding band in the universe IMO.
Pretty much agree.
Hey Tasha. Great reaction. SD are bad ass
Like they say, " steely dan is your favorite bands, favorite band"
Great Reaction! Sometimes it's very hard to describe a Steely Dan song. For the next song I'd go for "Peg" off the same album.
Very difficult to choose, but Aja is definitely in the running for my favorite album. Everything about this album is top shelf. ✌🏼😎🇺🇸
Great pick for Steely Dan, one of my favorites! That bass though 😊. Also love the hair ❤
You said it, near the end, "SO GOOD". : )
Chuck Rainey on bass. A lot of people miss how good his touch is because it's soft background support, but he's a bad ass.
Maybe the best "sounding" album ever. The way it's recorded and mixed is amazing.
Aja album is timeless.
About TIME, great reaction, let's do more.
Fantastic grooving reaction to one of the great hits of the worlds finest band
Well you've just met Josie, now go meet Peg...great song! ❤
Miss Tasha, Most of Steely Dan's tunes are written about Real Life people or situations. Many of which made the news back in the day.
First time here.....I came for the 'Dan. Always love hearing them...and happy to be with you while you enjoy them too.
Oh and I can't forget this line:
"...lay down the law and break it..."
^^ Themz are whatchya call LYRICS! 🙂
Your description of Steely Dan's Josie as an "experience" is on the nose. And you're in for a very satisfying adventure with this endlessly talented grouo of muscians! You could just continue with the entire Aja album, then check out earlier greatness! Whatever path you take to further explore Steely Dan will be just fine.
Face it. There is no other band better than THE DAN !!!! They used many studio musicians in their work, I believe mostly with AJA. My favorite albumn still in 2025. My daughters bought me a turntable for Christmas, so AJA is probably the first album I will purchase . Late 60’s, many great bands started out, and are still being listened today !!!! Check out CHICAGO, BLOOD SWEAT & TEARS, and now u have found STEELY DAN 🥰
I always thought she was coming home from a tour of duty being in the armed forces! Hence the words - Jo would you love to scrapple
She'll never say no, no
Shine up the battle apple
We'll shake 'em all down tonight
Next one, try "FM" if you want another groove type tune, but there's so many good ones that aren't just grooves but great compositions
I think Josie is about to get out of jail.
Winging it is my way. That's how we discovered and experienced music.
We'd hear a song, by the album, play the heck out of it and read the album cover to cover. Some, a lot had no lyrics either. So going in blind makes sense. ✌🏽
I named my puppy Josie after this song. 😁
"Peg," "Deacon Blues," I love the title track "Aja." Anything on this album is great Tasha. We are all in for SD. 😎💃
Wish I knew a girl like Josie when I was growing up, lol! Love Steely Dan...you picked a good one in Josie, what a groove! Oh, and they created one of the weirdest sounding intros ever but yet it fits, it works! Supposedly, music schools talk about this intro too, the weird gregorian type chords
HI TASHA! 😊SO THIS WAS A BIGTIME ( 77 ) ALBUM BY THEM, THEY HAD A GR8888 RUN BETWEEN ( 71-77 ) CERTAINLY A GREAT RABBIT HOLE TO GO INTO 💯MY FAVORITE OF THEIR'S HAS ALWAYS BEEN : RIKKI DON'T LOSE THAT NUMBER 👍OTHERS : MY OLD SCHOOL, BAD SNEAKERS, REELIN IN THE YEARS, PRETZEL LOGIC, WELL THERE'S SOME ANYWAY, YOU KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO AND ENJOYYY TASHA! 😊
T... SD is the most consistently dazzling bands that ever existed. Nearly every song on every album surprises and pleases the soul.
Steely Dan are amazing ✌️
It's a great song and great band, and you said everything perfectly!
Love this reaction Tasha!!! ❤
Love your ideal about doing complete album . This album jams. My favorite Decon Blue.❤
Aja is considered one of the best produced albums ever made. Personally, my favorite song on the album is the title track, Aja.
The Aja album, was *huge* . huge, Huge, HUGE!
If I was only allowed to listen to five albums the rest of my life, this would be one of them. I have owned the vinyl, cassette, CD, and now the download over the years. It is a masterpiece.
Great record start to finish. Impeccable.
This one of my top groups, love teir music, looking forward to you reacting again love your moves.
Gettin our grove on to the Jazz Infusion of the DAN! Amazing band. Yes Josie was everyone 's darlin!! lol
Next up should be "Peg." 👍
great song.....great ALBIUM !
Most definitely one of the best albums ever. Start to finish great.
There is only ONE Steely Dan !!! 😎👍💥
It seems they always put in the work with studio musicians to get the best results possible. You probably knew when you signed up with them that it was going to be long sessions to get the best recording possible.
Always a little bit of funk, great licks on the guitar
Aja is one of the best studio albums of the Seventies!
You can ‘react’ to any Steely Dan song and not made a bad choice.
Steely Dan is your favorite bands favorite band 🤘✌😊
❤❤❤❤
Nice. Try Green Earrings or Kid Charlemagne
Nice chair dancin' Tasha! Lol
Lol thanks
Tasha, you know what a Steely Dan is right? They took their name from the ole under the bed Fred. lol
Yeah, man !!
Peg next , please .
And T is correct -- Aja is one of the best albums ever produced . Mind-blowing.
And apparently the producers knew this when they published the album because the reverse side of the album cover is full of quotes from nationwide reviews of this iconic lp .
I bought the album based on either Josie or Peg [ more likely both ] , which were being played repeatedly on the radio.
But the other tracks are outstanding. as well .
And they sound nothing like the two aforementioned tunes .
Yeah, the whole album is great, one track after another. Your dancing seated in a chair was worth the price of admission...... I'd give it a TEN..... encore, encore
They are jazz funk rock. The band hates that some idiots classified them as Yacht rock. When the guy that made the Yacht rock special called Donnie Fagan if he wanted to be in the special Donnie told him to f himself and his stupid Yacht rock shit
I saw that clip, it's hilarious---and he had it coming from Fagan
I despise that term "yacht rock". All of us listened to the music that's called yacht rock back when I was growing up, and none of us have ever owned a yacht, or probably ever rode around on one.
Personally I've never liked the term Southern rock either, and I'm from the South. It's just rock and roll, which sort of originated in the South in the first place. No one calls Elvis or Chuck Berry's music southern rock. Just a bunch of marketing BS as far as I'm concerned.
@@hog7203Genre titling has always been annoying, though I understand how people use it to pigeonhole the many different styles and trends in music.
I love it all, but even though most bands were influenced by contemporaries and a certain style or direction in trends they all chose their band names and did what they chose to do the way THEY do it.
Even Dee Dee of the RAMONES was insulted and pissed everyone started calling them a “punk” band, to him they were just another rock band who played loud and fast. 🤷
@CANDOKNOWHOW I actually missed out on some great music back when it came out because of genre labeling. When I first heard the name grunge rock I thought that doesn't sound like it would be worth a crap.😆 But I finally got around listening to Pearl Jam and all of Chris Cornell's band incarnations and loved it. Sounded like just rock and roll to me. First time Cornell caught my ear was in the movie Collateral when the Audioslave song Shadow On the Sun started playing. His vocals and the song blew me away. Waited through the credits to find out who it was. In a couple of weeks time, I ended up buying everything I could find that featured him on vocals.
You don't hafta react to whole albums - you can pick out one or two tracks and pretend that's enough. BUT FOR YOUR LISTENING - you need to consume entire albums. Steely Dan is DEFINITELY an album band. ALL of them. And it's tough to appreciate these later albums without consuming their first ones. For one thing - each album has gems that will be YOUR favorite but were not radio-favorites. Don't cheat yourself - consume the whole albums, start to finish. Reward yourself.
You should definitely do the whole album, so then you won’t skip “Home At Last”. 😊
Dang...sheeet.thats usually my response to Steely Dan.
Top shelf...😎😎
… Lay down the law , then break it
My favorite line from the song!
Did you say you were hot ... I'll say !!! I mean that in a GOOD way, and I KNWO "T" agrees 😁 ... man, what a lucky guy. Seriously girl, you can dance, and I'll just bet you're a LOT like Josie. I love when you two are together and when you are separate. I guess that makes you a perfect match. I love that about you both.
I have no idea what Josie looks like, but it seems obvious to me, all the guys in the neighborhood think's she's awesome. I've seen a lot of people offer up different meanings, and I didn't buy it. I think the simplest meaning is the most correct in this case. If you want some other theories, go check out the song on songfacts and just read the comments section.
I'm dancing right along with you, sweetheart!❤😊
chimes
Definatle do the title track off of Aja
what kept you so long your missing great music !
This Record is a masterpiece but so is Royal scam
This song is not on their AJA album, but it's funky! Check out F.M. ( no static no more ). Kickin Baby!
yes it is on aja
