I can't exlain why I like it as other than Dan, who are obviously great, I typically detest the whole genre of slick muso-rock! It just seems so much more than that, the jazz influence shines through, and there is a dry humour to the lyrics too. It is great stuff.
Dont take me alive....the finest guitar intro into a song ever.
Here at the Western World. Rap Twice.
One of the many features of Becker and Fagan was they knew how to use and blend top musicians.
I'm pretty sure that was Larry Carlton. Great track. One of the many features of Becker and Fagan was they knew how to use and blend top musicians. The lead guitar breaks on Reeling In The Years IIRC, are the work of Elliot Randall and both tracks are wonderful examples of solos crafted to fit songs.

Been listening to The Dan since I was 17. The string of albums from Can't buy a Thrill to Gaucho is flawless. Never seen them or really listened t much after Gaucho, which I plan to remedy.
There's no doubt that Becker was a seriously good egg, as evinced by the Steely Dan Hall of Fame page, linked below. RIP. 67 is far too young.

It's the electric sitar break that got me on that track when I first heard it. I happened to be pretty majorly baked, too.There's a great tribute to Walter Becker by Rickie Lee Jones in Rolling Stone. He produced her Flying Cowboys album in 1989 and she supported, and performed with, Steely Dan during their Beacon Theater residencies in New York.
The first time she heard Steely Dan was in 1970, when she was 15 years old. She dropped acid and went to a Led Zeppelin gig in Kansas City. Do It Again was on the radio during the drive there and its sound entranced her.
"What I remember more than Led Zeppelin is "Do It Again" drumming through the twilight heat, and the joy of all that Victor Feldman percussion.
"Sexy. Contained. Because what "the Dan" accomplished was this: They introduced a new idea into the musical conversation of the time. It was the idea that intelligent music was cool. In a year where drum solos lasted minutes, quarter hours even, and singers screamed a lot. Steely Dan made it cool to be educated. It is safe to say that they are the beginning of college rock."
Rickie Lee Jones could right. Her tribute is worth reading.
