"My Old School", "Josie", "Don't Take Me Alive", "Deacon Blues", "Peg", "Black Cow"....I can go on all day.

Kid Charlemagne

Royal Scam

[@timetravellingone]

"Rikki don't lose that number" "Kings" "Only a fool would say that" "Your gold teeth II"

[@wallacewhipps1206]

"Dirty Work" is a simple, but emotional tune about a man who has been meeting with a married woman whenever her husband is away. She isn't going to divorce her husband, so she cuckolds him with her undercover lover, who knows that sometime or other they're going to have to pay the piper for their fun.

[@Pahdopony]

More SD tunes: Kid Charlemagne, Bodhisattva, Josie, Green Earrings, Sign In Stranger, Hey Nineteen, Black Cow and so many more. You can’t go wrong with any one of their songs!

[@2869may]

"Any major dude will tell you"..... LOL "Night by night, "Caves of Altamira", "My old school"

[@Seanriver316]

Sometimes referred to as "the musicians musicians", these guys are definitely a modern/progressive jazz band, in my book. Some of their other well-known tunes include "Hey Nineteen", "Black Cow" and "Kid Charlemagne".

[@charlier711]

As a basement musician who plays along to tracks on a headset I can say it's hard to beat Steely Dan for top rate musicianship and attention to detail. They brought in all the best studio players and mixed them up depending on the song. It's where I first heard Jeff Porcaro, Bernard Purdie, and Steve Gadd on drums. The Aja album is a great listen all these years later.

[@sallysharp3845]

You can't go wrong with Steely Dan. This is one of my fav ❤ songs from them. Actually any song they do is 🔥 "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" should be next.

[@peterwalsh2470]

I would suggest "Reeling in the years" so they can sample their rocker style, then back to the smooth stuff with "Rikki Don't Lost that Number", then "Hey Nineteen".

[@CorePathway]

Peg is the greatest pop song ever.

[@alphajava761]

David Palmer's lead vocal on this song is amazing.

[@rileymcintosh4852]

Exactly right

[@kenperkins7921]

Such dirty, dirty work but somebody's gotta do it. I remember getting a kick out of this one in high-school in 74!

"Peg", "Hey Nineteen" and "Black Cow" are great songs from Steely Dan.

[@babylonsister118]

don't forget Babylon Sisters y'all! LOL

[@melk.6024]

AJA album is a must!!

[@eileendobbs8009]

This song has blown up with youngsters due to it being featured in the HBO Series Euphoria. There's even a whole Tik Tok channel devoted to Steely Dan now called Steely Dan Tok. Whatever reintroduces this great band to people I'm all for.

[@realbser1956]

BJ, versatility would be an understatement regarding Steely Dan. They’re a genre unto themselves. Just keep going song by song, album by album. You and Asia will shortly understand. 🔥🔥

[@robertmillar8246]

Yes Asia I agree with this comment just wait until you get to the album AJA pronounced Asia. Gotta review "Deacon Blues"

[@kckelly7889]

"Aja" is the signature song for all the musical production over the course of many years. It's their crowning achievement.

[@Kindaold-butnot]

I agree. Aja is classic.

[@joelliebler5690]

My favorite tune among many favorites!

[@davidhapka5410]

Steely Dan owned the radio airwaves in the seventies...so many great songs and each one unique. They didn't just have one sound like many other bands 😎😊

[@melodymcdonald2140]

I remember when they first started out… it was always a guessing game as to what their next song would sound like. They were always great, though, and they’re still good today.

[@Steve-cm2ys]

70s were a great time for music, a BUNCH of bands and artists "owned the airwaves".

[@lynnhoffman247]

@@Steve-cm2ys Yes! Just 2 off the top of my head are Pink Floyd & Queen for not having just one sound.

[@davidhapka5410]

@@lynnhoffman247 I love Pink Floyd and grew up with them in the seventies.. my all-time favorite album is THE WALL... however, Pink Floyd had a very familiar sound throughout all of their music. Whether it was Roger Waters or David Gilmour, there's no mistaking the brilliance of Pink Floyd for anyone else... Steely Dan has more variety in it's music.

[@davidhapka5410]

@@Steve-cm2ys of course...I didn't mean it literally... simply that Steely Dan always seemed to have another hit record after another and they were always on the radio year after year in those days.

[@chrisbrimhall6323]

This is a band that once you get into about 3 of their songs......hooked fans for life

[@TheOneAndOnlyFloridaMan]

So glad ya'll are checking out Steely Dan again, they're the best. They've got a whole bunch of great songs, Haitian Divorce would be a good one to check out next.

[@catherder78]

I agree! Best vibe of the early Dan. Killer guitar work by Dean Parks, and few people know this, but the incredible talk box effects were added later in the studio by Walter Becker... awesome... Asia and BJ, BrassGuitar's definitely pointing you in the right direction, follow that vibe...

[@ericsmith6615]

Wife here...One of my favorite Steely Dan songs!!..They're catalog of music is AMAZING..And BJ you're so right...The band's versatility is off the chain..!!.."C'MON NOW.."ASIA YOU ARE TOO CUTE..YOUR SMILE is GORGEOUS!!

[@happymethehappyone8300]

R.I.P. Walter...Thanks For All You Gave Us... Gone But Definitely Not Forgotten. 🙏 ❤

[@ironman0917]

Donald Fagen and Walter Becker of Steely Dan were master song writers. Their songs often involved cryptic meanings and double entendres. For example, the lyric, "Like the castle in its corner in a medieval game". This talks about the game of Chess and the piece called a Rook, or sometimes referred to as a Castle. The Rook always starts the game in the two corners of the board and only has two moves, horizontally or vertically. This is referring to the man in this song being stuck in a corner and having limited options with his married lover. And then he goes on to say "I foresee terrible trouble, And I stay here just the same"... Just brilliant!

[@hudsonhollow]

"Do It Again" "Deacon Blues" many more! All GREAT!

[@brianemmanuelgrey9276]

"Like a Castle in his corner in a medieval game, I perceive terrible trouble an stay here just the same".

[@sandrahudson1950]

When you listen to the latter years of Steely Dan , you may recognise some of their songs were sampled by Hip Hop artists, particularly Peg and Black Cow

[@dannycasson1551]

This album is a true Classic. You have to do “Reeling in the Years” off the same record. You’ve probably heard it in one form or another. It was a huge hit.

[@trudydavidson528]

My fave!!!!

[@ssacra22]

An English friend of mine was a sound guy for a lot of bands through the 80's and 90's and said that Steely Dan was known as the most precise band in the biz. They would record a song over and over and over again until it was 'perfect'. They were very musically schooled. One of the most underrated bands IMO.

[@ALong-fo5so]

Steely Dan got a huge catalog of hits to react to. Brooklyn, Deacon Blues, FM, Peg, Black Cow, Black Friday, Fire InThe Hole, Kid Charlemagne, and many many more.

[@josephdurham6051]

"deacon blues" is a must listen. One of many great Steely Dan songs, and my favorite

[@MyRoom_is_old]

I've been listening to this song for 45 years and I still get goosebumps.

[@albarton7189]

I’d recommend SteelyDan’s “Don’t Take Me Alive” next.

[@chellj8175]

Great great song !!

[@louisperez7215]

50-year old music - a true treasure

[@markburnham7512]

One of the very few Dan songs where the lead vocal in not Donald Fagen. This one is David Palmer, who went on to do some other things after Donald took over lead vocals 100%.

[@babylonsister118]

So glad you guys are dipping into the deep and glorious well that is Steely Dan! You honestly can't find a bad or even a just okay song in the bunch! I have loved them for 50 years, and was actually blessed to be able to see them this past November. Even though only Donald Fagan is left, I trusted in his perfectionism to get some fine musicians in there, and was not disappointed at all!

[@jacqueline4514]

Steely Dan; my favorite group, hands down ❤️

[@squidkid2]

This was from the first album and all I can say is they hit the ground running and never looked back. I recommend you start with the first song on this album and react to every song they ever did. You won't be disappointed in fact you'll be amazed.

[@laurie3941]

Great memories of my youth!!

[@lucianaromulus1408]

I was born in 1990 but because of my parents, this too reminds me of my childhood 😝

[@davidserlin8097]

And just think: this was their first album! You don’t get first records with that kind of polish or that kind of lyrical depth every day.

[@Mike-rk8px]

The first album is even more impressive when you consider that formed in 1971 at Bard College, moved to L.A., and recorded the album in August of 1972. Of course, the musicians on the album, as well as the producer, we’re all very accomplished already. That first album sounds like what most groups would have as a greatest hits album.

[@teriangel8807]

I already commented on the song BUT I forgot to wish BJ a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! 🥳🎉

[@sammyholloway334]

Great to see this. Steely dan,, is heavy,, really heavy. Great musicians. I love Jeff "skunk"Baxter a whole lot. But Larry Carlton, can not be ignored.

[@BeastrealDT]

Steely Dan, "Black Cow" & "Aja." This song got resurgence in the film, "American Hustle." ✌️

[@natewilliams1062]

Steely was an all time TIGHT band. I'm not a huge fan but I have respect for days. This one and Peg are damn near perfect songs. Thanks!

[@robertbyington7715]

SD wasn’t a band it was Becker and Fagan and a group of exceptional studio musicians which changed from album to album

[@robertbyington7715]

No you guys are missing the true meaning of this song since it was talking about infidelity in the SEVENTIES. A married rich woman fooling around with a younger guy and him admitting how much he loves her but knows she will never leave. Like a castle in the corner of a medieval game I foresee terrible trouble but I stay here just the same. A similar song Rickie Don’t Lose That Number is about a pregnant married woman Becker met where he tries to get her to leave her husband because he is infatuated with her. These were truly scandalous lyrics for the 70s. Kind of time by todays standards

[@wayneconner1620]

I commend you two, you held it together quite well after the reality of the lyrics hit you. Keep up the good work.

[@robertlear2735]

Deacon Blues is my favorite Steely Dan song. All of the songs noted below are also great

[@07LUTE70]

You can't lose if you pick up a steely dan album every album is like a new landscape everybody wins

[@memcmac]

Yay! My fav Steely Dan song to sing along to! All of their songs are catchy. Enjoy the dive!

[@janiceking1418]

Steely Dan on another level of rock

[@bobschenkel7921]

"Oh Yeah", and this is from their first album.

[@christinerobinson9372]

This is their first album, and the only one on which Fagen does not do the vocals. Fagen did not have confidence in his voice or ability but was persuaded to try, and did the vocals thereafter. You can hear him gaining confidence and skill over their discography.

[@michaelyork4554]

The Song from this Album "Reelin In The Years" is why I started playing guitar 45 years ago. When You Two Hear you will absolutely understand why.

[@mikecreger9702]

Skunk Baxter is amazing!

[@alienlifeform7490]

What a lovely voice you have, Asia. 🙏🏻💖🌺

[@bobszejk9620]

"Rikki Don't Lose That Number". It's tough to pick a Steely Dan favorite, but I gotta go with this one. Take care!

[@elgenetiamzon1062]

One I would recommend is a song that is very underrated and one most people tend to ignore: "Midnight Cruiser". It's very mellow song about change (in a sense).

[@dipaknadkarni62]

A great song that came from a single artist’s songs. Heard recently at a Steely Dan concert here in Florida. I grew up with this band.

[@michaelakkerman407]

PEG...Steely Dan is fire!!!

[@jamescummins6918]

Produced with excellence. Very clean , crisp sound.

[@texashookem22]

You really want some musical diversity, but all built into one song? Check out Aja (pronounced Asia), and buckle up! One of Steely Dan’s (many) musical masterpieces.

[@garysunshine9643]

Always great when a new Steely Dan fan is born. Takes just one listen

[@wreckingKREW1]

On the musical versatility angle,the first three albums they were an actual band with some guest musicians here and there along the way. After that it was pretty much just Fagen and Becker and a slew of studio aces from album to album and song to song. Again,you can straight up pick any song at random and it's going to be fire.

[@helgar791]

Sneaky link before sneaky links. Steely Dan, America's greatest R&R band. There's a lot of great SD songs. Do another song from this, their first album, "Reelin' In The Years", then do "Peg", "Black Cow", and "Deacon Blues" from their best album IMO, "Aja".

[@tomt714]

They say Steely Dan is your favorite band’s favorite Band! They have so many great songs! You guys should listen to the song “Black Cow” from them. It’s a banger! Thanks for sharing your channel for all to see! You two are awesome!

[@AnAdorableWombat1]

I can listen to this song over and over and over and over again.

[@robertslade3088]

You guys definitely need to listen to much more SteelyDan

[@debrabeck9630]

Great reaction! They are quite versatile - every song sounds different. I agree with most of the suggestions here, but I haven’t seen Dr.Wu mentioned yet. It’s so fine.

[@angiestanford672]

Yes! One of my favorites!

[@florida52001]

Love me some Steely Dan, even one of my twin 15 year old daughter loves Steely I had to buy her their CD, please react to more Steely Dan like Peg, FM No Static, and Black Cow, love from London U.K.

[@tomdancel8209]

one of Steely Dan's finest songs is Aja, If you like music this is a must

[@raymondreid4987]

Wow never in my mind would I expect this song. You two are picking some tracks that I haven't heard in forever. About last year I pick up some Steely Dan and found the Can't Buy A Thrill cd and played the entire cd when this came on my brother looked at me and said I always like this song but never knew it was steely dan. I told him that this and AJA are some of the best work any band ever created.

[@amygenevalee6393]

VIBE!!!! Yes!! They really are and can’t wait to see you dive only deeper in their catalog. Left a plethora of songs from them on the “Do it again” reaction and can’t express how underrated I think they are.

[@richardrobinson4020]

finally on the steely dan train. Congratulations! Looking forward to more.

[@mikek5958]

One of the greatest albums of all time.

[@michaelmaddox7660]

"Reeling in the Years" off the same debut album is in the RRHOF as a song. A must do.

You're going to really like their, " Babylon sister" , " Black Cow" and "Aja" my favorite ♥

[@notthatbirdman]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do more Steely Dan. Their later stuff is going to BLOW YOU AWAY!! And make us grin from ear to ear!! Black Cow, Night By Night, Kid Charlemagne

[@frankhoward4485]

IMHO, this is one of the best-written, best-performed pop singles in history. Top ten.

[@completecharleston7142]

Great choice! SD had original lead singer who sang on a few songs, and Donald Fagen eventually took over that role, which is why this song sounds a lot different than most of their tunes. "Babylon Sisters" is a great groove, hope you can react to that one. And like others have suggested "Aja" (pronounced Asia) would be appropriate, as well as the group Asia: "Only Time Will Tell".

[@kevincaulder20]

Steely Dan broke up in the early 8o's after the album Gaucho ran its course and their single, TIME OUT OF MIND cut its sharp groove on our ears. Donald Fagen, one half of their collective genius recorded a solo album called the NIGHTFLY. He released a single that dipped back in time to the 195o's when bomb shelters were a thought to be a safeguard against nuclear war. The official video has a great animation referencing popular themes and a lost innocence. Prepare your ears for a smooth kinetic ride. Enjoy.

[@bakercarl8518]

One of my favorite bands. There's a whole lot good music with this band . My favorite is Deacon Blue.

[@shawnpilgrim2355]

I first heard this song on the movie “Mask”, which includes many songs y’all have reacted to. Love it.

[@rubicon-oh9km]

I did too. Had to have it after seeing the movie.

[@JaySmith-vb7qt]

I love y’all’s reaction videos! I’m glad your channel exists! ✌️

[@surlechapeau]

Asia & BJ, you must like them if you're doing them 2 days in a row!! Good for you! "Aja", "Josie" and "Deacon Blues" are even better than this one!!! David Palmer - lead vocals, this is before Donald Fagan started doing lead vocals.

[@ym61]

You’re barely scratching the surface of this great band. So many great songs. They never did a bad song. Ever. This song and Do it Again was from their first album. Each one gets better and by the time you get to Aja (pronounced Asia) you realize that they couldn’t have surpassed their previous work, but they did.

[@lissawillis6829]

Hey, since y'all are in north Texas you could go see Steely Dan in concert at the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth in June!

[@keithjones6023]

One of the best bands ever, they proved that so many times with all the wonderful songs they wrote. Their early albums were the best, just sayin' 😉

[@raymcarthur3870]

Every song is like a new Band.

[@jameslang6141]

Lots of love for songs from albums like Can't Buy a Thrill, Aja and The Royal Scam but what about the Katy Lied album? It's fantastic. Try "Chain Lightning" for a vibe that is just too smooth! Then check out "Everyone's Gone to the Movies" , "Daddy Don't Live in That New York City No More" and "Black Friday".

[@jasoncarman9656]

This 1st album had this singer David Palmer on 2-3 songs, but his voice was to clean and soft. So, Donald Fagen took over because their lyrics are very street and seedy disguised as other things. If you listen enough you will get it… Badazz! Thanks y’all!

[@joelliebler5690]

So right about Don and Walt producing many different style, jazz, funk, fusion, rock, and blues!

[@jclcrow2621]

Walter Becker and Donald Fagan were crazy perfectionists in the studio. They’d hire and fire musicians every hour till it sounded jusssst right.
