Kys. Gaucho is the best album of the 80's.

I grew up listening to Steely Dan. Sad to see Walter go. https://youtu.be/jamkS4qoXK8

Thanks for all of the wonderful music.

doesnt know that aja is one of the most perfectly constructed, harmonically beauitful, funkiest white man jazz albums of all time.

F

I really hope Fagen isn't next soon

F

Probably not gonna get a sticky nor much publicity, but I have always loved that they may have been the one band that most seemlessly integrated very complex harmonic progressions and extra busy sounding stuff into pop music. Their content can easily be more complex than even the likes of King Crimson or Yes at times, yet still have it in a poppy context thus making the music easier to digest than those two.

Crying in 24bit 96khz flac right now.
No but seriously, RIP.

>f you are a die-hard Steely Dan fan from "back in the day," let me first congratulate you on figuring out how this whole "Internet" thing works. The computer commercials promise plug-in-and-surf, but there's always a glitch. At work you're too embarrassed to ask the young tech guys how the "web" works. They'd snicker before cranking The Fragile back up and turning back to their monitors. Never show inferiority to subordinates. So, you pony-tailed Jeep-drivers and terrier-walkers, I'm crawling inside your minds like "Reeling in the Years" did so many decades ago. I know you've held silly suspicions, if just for a moment, that your ponytail was perhaps pulling back your hairline. I know that this review might hurt your feelings. Here, play with this shiny silver Nokia while I chat with somebody else.

>muh specific genre

Just get the fuck out. The point was never to be a straight rock/jazz/fusion/r&b/soul/pop group even though all of those genres are clearly in their DNA. With those influences they developed their own sound completely unique from anything before or after Steely Dan. Their musicanship, perfectionism/innovation in the studio, and ironic lyrics are all admirable qualities but I wouldnt expect a pleb like you to understand.

I'll say Rush but I'm kind of a fan boy

radiohead, its extremely hard to live up to a band like steely

Brian Wilson is next. He will go during Christmas. Screencap this post.

Don and Walter were something of a comic duo--here they are making of a farce of their R&R Hall of Fame inauguration. Absolutely no fucks.

Pitchfork writers have an obsession with reviewing the modern relevance of music rather than the music itself. It's far easier to talk about how cool music is than to talk about melodies, textures, harmonies, etc. Of course if you actually want to talk about the music then you don't get the opportunity to sniff your own farts and make yourself the arbiter of cool. Pitchfork are happy to make that trade.

That review was great. The writer admits to never having listened to the band before and knowing nothing about them before going on a long rant about how Ulver are a coil rip off band.
