>movie about Bruce Springsteen >movie about Elton John>movie about Queen>movie about Beatles >movie about weird al And yet no movies about Steely Dan the greatest band on earth
>>215571577I like Steely Dan but they have a very niche audience. You have to really like yacht rock or smooth jazz to appreciate them.
>>215571577I heard that some producer contacted him to be part of a documentary on yacht rock and he took offense and literally told him to go fuck himself.
>>215571625I just like Steely Dan, whatever they are. Interesting music.
>>215571625>smooth jazzget a load of this guy not understanding the danhere's how you appreciate them: you wake up hungover off of vodka and cocaine and realize you're in your late 30s and want to have absolutely nothing to do with the 20 year old in bed next to you
The Nightfly is the best sounding, most well engineered album ever. Fight me
>>215571577>Beatles movie>no circle jerks>no John beating Stu Sutcliffe shortly before his death from cerebral hemorrhage >no Yoko stalking Paul and Paul giving her John’s address as a gag >No John fucking underage twins What’s the point really
>>215571625Steely Dan consider themselves above yacht rock.
>>215571868Which is cringe. They should have embraced being the kings of yacht rock.
It's Zappa coded nonsense music that divorced goobers like because it's "well produced".
>>215571577>hey this white guy sounds really black lets form a band >next 2 hours is sitting on their asses listening to session musician tapes
>>215571868I like yacht rock but steely Dan is right to be insulted by that label
>>215571577the GOATS of boomer music, no doubt. >Called Lennon a limp wristed loser on their DEBUT. >wrote songs about LSD chefs, fucking younger women, calling your ex a roastie>Groovy and classic songs>Easily the best engineered albums of all time>Invented a a genre on accidentThe Kubricks of music
>>215571577I guess you could call me a Steely Fan
>>215571577They should make a movie that just uses their music and goes for their vibeLike a movie set in 70s about a middle aged loser
>>215571577DRINK SCOTCH WHISKY ALL NIGHT LONG
Steely Dan is objectively a top 5 band of all time but these guys are dull and uninteresting. Just a regular guy and a Jew from New York who happen to be immensely talented
What the fuck is yacht rock
>>215571577IT'S YOUR FAVORITE FOREIGN MOVIE
>>215571577Based>>215571625Cucked take. Listen to The Royal Scam, you zesty, bodacious cowboy.
>>215571816*19yr old>>215571949
>>215572666I agree they have transcended their own medium. They're their own thing.
>>215571577it would be shown on one of the simple pay tv channels and be budget viewing, nobody gives a shit about steely dan
>>215571949The fact that you consider them yacht rock is cringe, zombie
>>215574024Dad? You're on 4chan?
>>215571950This boi asks for the aux to play nightcore
>>215575260Your mother starred in foreign movies
I'M A BOOOOKEEPER'S SONAND I DON'T WANNA SHOOT NO ONE!
>son, continue our legacy>yes fathers
>>215575074Thats the movie. Nothing happens
>>215571577What a shame...About me.
>>215575386Seinfeld is essentially Steely Dan: The TV Show
Only partially related, but sometimes I think about making a movie using only one artist/band for the soundtrack, and Steely Dan always comes up as one of the main ones. Feel like you could do something neo-noir with it.
>>215575437>Here's to feeling good all the time
>>215575157Soft rock with but heavy with heavy jazz and or disco influences.
>>215575412Reminder that Two Against Nature beat radiohead and eminem for the Grammy album of the year in 2001.
>>215571950Hey look, it's the retarded zoomer who has no clue what she (male) is talking about
>>215575369Unexpectedly based /tv/ post
>>215575693As the years go on, this was objectively the right choice. While old eminem was his peak, much of it hasn't aged well, and not for some lameass shitlib reason, it's just super corny given the context of his later work.Radiohead is >but w-we don't like playing the song literally everyone loves wahhhh :(((((The Dan is forever.
How do you have a band with just two guys? Who do they think they are, the White Stripes?
>>215571577Yeah because past their first album they were a studio band. They made lots of great music but a movie of Becker and Fagen watching a revolving door of session musicians would not make a great flick. Maybe they could come up with something relating to Becker's coke fueled escapades? Either way biopics are kinda lame. Plus only boomers and music nerds really listen to them nowadays. The other bands you listed have way wider appeal.
>>215571577Been a fan since I first heard what might be their worst song and most popular song - Reelin in the Years
>>215575693Bitchfork shit on Two Against Nature, but it's sublime. Radioblowjob has a few good songs but sucks otherwise. Old Eminem has its moments but when considering it alongside recent discography - fuck, I'd take the reality where Cage got big instead. Relapse was better than it's given credit though
Remember, you can't spell Donald Fagen without "Do a fag, N-"
Fun fact: Walt and Don always wore shades because eye contact can be uncomfortable for the kind of massive fucking autists who hold their album up at the last minute in order to record a single bass note, or who stitch together a drum track from 60 different takes, or who fire their band for not being good enough and replace them with a revolving door of studio musicians
steely dan is just the grateful dead if the dead wrote songs
>>215571577Make a movie about michael jackson
>>215576734Where's the dash?And do it be silent?
>>215571577What's next a nirvana movie
>like that one De La Soul song>find out that the hook is just Steely Dan>listen to Steely Dan insteadhip hop is such a joke genre
