>*deletes I Got the News*>*adds FM*FINALLY, the perfect Dan record!
FM sucks though, and I Got the News has a great piano part
>>130501867it's not meaty enough for a straight funk track musically, but the bluntly funky yet melodic vocals save the track...IGTN is too noodly and subdued, it lacks definition and punch, which FM has in abundance
>>130501897FM is second only to Babylon Sisters in Steely Dan singles I never need to hear again
>>130501803>FINALLY, the perfect Dan record!but that already exists
>>130501803the only part that drags even a little is the jam at the end of the title track
>>130501867FM is based as fuck 70s sleazecore
>>130502021fun fact : the title FM doesnt reference the radio signal but is infact an abbreviation of the phrase "fucking mid", which the song is
FM was a phoned in throwaway tune they made for some shitty movie
>>130502056sick post bro I upvoted btw ;)
>>130502076some ppl just can't grok that's it paaahty time
>>130502190hey, i got the news for you poster: FM sucks
>>130501964Yup
>>130501803IGTN is about oral sex. Aja is the perfect record>>130501964Nope but it's the best of their first 3 albums>>130501945Fucking retard>>130502366Close but Aja is better and i say that as a guitarist who should prefer TRS
>>130502366
>>130501867>>130501945>>130502056>>130502076You people have very little taste or class
>>130503565"let me class this joint up by killing my girlfriend with a drug overdose before my smooth dreck plays"
>>130503933>TIME OUT OF MIIIIIND!
>>130501964so much good stuff on here that should've been bigger hits
>>130501803the perfect Larry record
I Got the News, on relisten, went from forgettable to why Aja is one of the easiest 5/5 records ever made
>>130501964This. Bodhisattva is my favourite steely dan song
>>130501803It's a sex-haver song. You wouldn't understand.
>>130501964Can’t Buy a Thrill is better
>>130507532>brooklyn >fire in the holenah
>>130508689NTA BUT:Both good songs, essentially FITH. Don't you appreciate Fagen's keyboard skills?
>>130508689Both better than most songs off Countdown.
>>130504667For me, the SD song that went from a skip to no skip is My Rival. Hey 19 pisses me off now i'd delete it off Gaucho for The Second Arrangement if i could
>>130509727My Rival grooves hard.
>>130508689>brooklynGreat>fire in the holeAlso great
>>130509727>>130510468Yup. Sooo good. Dem end of verse drum fills (or not, on one).
>Per People, Fagen does briefly appear in Yacht Rock — or at least his voice does — in a scene where Price calls him up and pitches him an interview about “this genre.” When Fagen asks what genre that is, Price replies, “Um, yacht rock.” >To which Fagen delivers a response that should surprise absolutely no Steely Dan fans: “Oh, yacht rock. Well, I tell you what: Go fuck yourself.” And then hangs up.
>subhumans are using the term "yacht rock" because they watched that faggot tv documentary but don't even know of the youtube skits the term originated fromFaggotshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMTI8vg7A5U
>>130512154Kek basedYacht rock wasn't a term actually used back in the 70s-80s, they probably hate it
>>130512219OP here, I hated the Dan before I turned 30 or so and it was exactly the youtube series that made me appreciate what is now one of my fav genres>>130512277they called it blue-eyed soul or soft rock
>>130512300Tbh i don't consider them to be YR their lyrics were far too dark and cynical for that but thw youtube skits are hilarious even if i don't listen to yacht rock itselfGot into them via a guitarist friend who loved The Royal Scam and after a few years it just clicked
>>130512219the guy who made rick and morty was part of this lol
>>130512364Aja has two songs that prominently reference the sea though, Fagen was just being a hipster faggot as always
