These guys were so good it's hard to call them rock or popular or ... really anything. But they know how to write a lyric, don't they? And their buddy sidemen were always top-shelf. My kids like their stuff; nuff said.

This song, this album, WOW; this band boasts some of the most blistering guitars and trippiest lyrics ever...LOVE 'EM! Got tickets to see them at Red Rocks August 8th; hell yeah, can't wait! I also echo the request for "Your Gold Teeth" -- what a fantastic groove that one is!

Ah, what's up Bill? Fourth time I've heard this since early March. There's a lot more 'dan out there.

Bill doesn't play too much SD; I suspect that he was probably burned out on them during one or more FM station DJ gigs, back in the 1970s.
SD is great, though, and I'd love to hear more of them here on RP.
This is probably my favorite SD album: like most classic SD albums, great from track first through track last.

"A man of my kind could do anything..." Amen. And the Madness that was 1976 as well. Sadly, some things don't seem to change. |

I'm riding my Kawasaki H-2 down Highway 1 out of Monterey in 1976 and this song is on a loop banging around in my noggin... *edit* I miss that day, and that dude with his spunky little putter...well, at least the song remains the same... |

Larry Carlton is masterful in the wonderful liquid intro and everything he touches in this great track.
I loved Steely Dan for their cool, their resolute professionalism, and nose thumbing to just about everybody !
They were apparently very difficult task masters for the stellar line-up of session musicians who guested for them. but the results are enduringly brilliant.

I love Steely Dan but I should would like to hear different songs of theirs on RP. Seems like it's only this one or Aja.

A theme song for mass shootings, back before they were so common. It's sad that there are so many any more. And summer's not over yet.

guitar intro has to be one of the best short ones- love to hear other contenders for that category

The quintessence of cool alt-jazz rock party music — but I was never a fan. Except for when I was dancing my ass off to Reelin in the Years with a red hot honey at a college party in 1975. Wow.

Maybe you say New Jersey while some of the locals say "joisey" Maybe you see Cairo and say it like you say the capital of Egypt (I have no idea how those locals say it), but in IL they say it like Karo syrup. If in Lima, do say Lee-ma Ohio , or Lye-ma, like the locals? What about Lima, Peru?
Give it a rest.
Oh, and a great number by a great group. I agree...petty is petty |
