Name a better 7 album OR decade long run>You can't>From Do it again say that to Third World Man, only bangersWho are their contemporaries? In a sense, I'd say Primus, but only insofar as virtuoso ability coupled with sarcasm/sardonism. Otherwise completely different.
>>128698142>Name a better 7 album OR decade long run>You can'tI love SD but I'd say Bowie and Bob Dylan can beat both you criteria, in the same period too.
what is it about Steely Dan that attracts the most annoying fans?
>>128698142Linkin Park
>>128698332OK, based.
the second halves of Pretzel Logic, Katy Lied and Gaucho are pretty weak
>>128698387:)
>>128698389Many are saying this
>>128698209>Bob Dylan>Pat Garrett>Planet Waves>Desire>Budokan>Slow Train>Savedhahahahahah no
>>128698265Pretentious as shit bands attract pretentious as shit fans.
>>128698434steely dan is the opposite of pretentious
I'll raise you an 8 album run. King Crimson's first 8 albums are an insane run. Not a dud in the bunch.

>>128704557This.
>>128698592so it's pop but less catchy, while not actually being jazz, and without actually impactful lyrics.
>>128704842>without actually impactful lyricsYou probably don't understand the lyrics because you can't into the occasional long word.
>>128698142King crimson's first 8 or 9 albums have only great songs

Steely Dan are just two jews making cynical music with studio musicians>>128702704This, two jews making sincere silly music with various musicians and have SOVL
>>128715960I don’t find their music cynical at all, they were truly sincere in making the highest quality music they could. The lyrics are just a quirk of their personalities.
>>128698142Aja and their debut are the only great albums they made. Bowie has an incredible 7 album run
