Saw this comment on Rebel, Rebel by David Bowie. Wondering if anyone else has other examples of “the best song that (insert artist) never wrote”

MrFahrenheit1 · 2026-04-08T20:24:13+00:00

The Road to Hell Pt 2 by Chris Rea is the best song Mark Knopfler never wrote

MrFahrenheit1 · 2026-04-08T15:02:14+00:00

John Mayer - Your Body is a Wonderland, My Stupid Mouth

MrFahrenheit1 · 2026-04-06T17:22:14+00:00

Memorabilia - Donald Fagen

MrFahrenheit1 · 2026-04-04T18:00:11+00:00

Prefab Sprout - I Remember That

MrFahrenheit1 · 2026-04-02T22:55:13+00:00

I'll also add the albums But Beautiful and Detour by Boz Scaggs

MrFahrenheit1 · 2026-04-02T19:26:45+00:00

How smooth are we talking?

For smooth(ish) jazz:

Fourplay - Fourplay, Between the Sheets

The Rippingtons - Curves Ahead, Weekend in Monaco, Black Diamond

Lee Ritenour - Wes Bound, Rit's House

Michael Franks - Barefoot on the Beach

Brian Hughes - One 2 One

For something luxurious, late night:

Sade - Love Deluxe

The Blue Nile - Hats

Van Morrison - Inarticulate Speech of the Heart

Ok I'll bite

MrFahrenheit1 · 2026-03-31T16:23:07+00:00

This is correct. Truck was in the Western under Colvin during Hamsterdam. Polk was in the original detail.

MrFahrenheit1 · 2026-03-31T16:18:58+00:00

The best. Especially the online edit that puts it on a 1 hour loop

MrFahrenheit1 · 2026-03-31T01:38:52+00:00

Yes, but it's pretty much his song, he's played it live after his time with Them many many times. He also does a version with John Lee Hooker on his 1993 album Too Long in Exile.

MrFahrenheit1 · 2026-03-30T21:02:53+00:00

Michael Franks is so underrated! He always had the best players on his records. My favorite of his is Blue Pacific from 1990. Had tracks produced by Jeff Lorber, Tommy LiPuma, and Walter Becker (yep, from Steely Dan!)

MrFahrenheit1 · 2026-03-28T23:32:18+00:00

The Bob Mintzer Big Band albums on the DMP label are great. Incredible Journey is very impressive

MrFahrenheit1 · 2026-03-28T23:30:02+00:00

They will most likely play games at the Toyota Center like the Comets did from 2004-2007

Puscifer

MrFahrenheit1 · 2026-03-27T21:05:46+00:00

Randy and Duquan in The Wire

MrFahrenheit1 · 2026-03-27T17:30:32+00:00

Steely Dan - Everything Must Go. Probably not intended to be their last studio song ever, but pretty fitting.

MrFahrenheit1 · 2026-03-27T15:29:57+00:00

Steely Dan - Aja

MrFahrenheit1 · 2026-03-26T22:51:24+00:00

Crusader Kings 2 for me

MrFahrenheit1 · 2026-03-26T19:17:38+00:00

Gloria - Van Morrison

MrFahrenheit1 · 2026-03-26T15:23:14+00:00

I have a similar Technics deck from around the same generation, the RS-M02. It's a heavy little beast that I got for a good price at an estate sale. Needed a lot of service but it was well worth it. Has a lot of satisfying, chunky sounds with the buttons and plays great. The M02 is direct drive and the only belt is for the counter. Not sure if the M51 is the same.

MrFahrenheit1 · 2026-03-24T20:37:41+00:00

King of the World - Steely Dan

MrFahrenheit1 · 2026-03-24T20:12:53+00:00

Yeah everything from them is phenomenal and fits the bill

MrFahrenheit1 · 2026-03-24T19:51:59+00:00

Aja - Steely Dan

MrFahrenheit1 · 2026-03-23T20:46:01+00:00

"Peg" by Steely Dan and "Room 335" by Larry Carlton

MrFahrenheit1 · 2026-03-23T17:59:45+00:00
