I finally got around to ordering the box set "Citizen Steely Dan"
I've only played the first disc so far, which consists of the albums "can't buy a thrill" and "countdown to ecstasy" and I think I get what all the fuss is about!
It doesn't sound like mid 70's music!
Some good stuff in the booklet too, including some of the most pretentious quotes I’ve ever read from the music press about SD.
And I quote,
“The new Steely Dan album is not unlike…Captain Pike (who was) a mutilated individual who possessed an intelligent brain but was without a body”
It doesn’t mention which album was referred to.
And there is also mention of Donnie & Marie Osmond doing a cover of "reeling in the years" on their TV show
