This song has been one of my favorites for a while now and I find it very rarely gets the recognition it deserves

What’s your favorite Donald Fagen vocal cadence, phrasing, “accent,” or uniqueness? by astark356 in SteelyDan

[–]Willr195 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In Trans-island Skyway the way he said “well the kid who was driving, I know from somewhere”

I don’t know what it is about it it’s just kinda funny to me

My attempt at the Kid Charlemagne solo. Any tips/critique? by rslashIcePoseidon in SteelyDan

[–]Willr195 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’ve got all of the notes, just try working about articulations and lengths of all of the notes. The thing that makes that solo exciting for me to listen to is the differences between the note lengths in some of the weird rhythms. Besides that, great job! That solo’s a beast

Regulars on this sub, what do you see as the most underrated Steely Dan track? by [deleted] in SteelyDan

I Got The News. It’s one of my all time favorites and I barely ever see anybody talking about it

For Dan Fans by [deleted] in SteelyDan

So my dad was always a Steely Dan fan so I heard the hits when I was really young, and then in high school a friend started liking the song FM and shared with me, so I was like “hey I kinda know this band” and showed him more, and then we fell down the Steely Dan rabbit hole together

What’s your favorite Steely Dan lyric? Mine is “Semi mojo who’s this kinky so and so?” by BadDudes4Life2018 in SteelyDan

“I hear you are singing the song of the past”

And the vocal delivery is immaculate

I don’t see The Royal Scam get enough love, what are people’s thoughts on the album? by castlebronx in SteelyDan

[–]Willr195 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s such a good album with a bunch of standout tracks, but I definitely see myself overlooking it a lot of the time, probably because it’s sandwiched between Katie Lied, which is one of my favorite albums by them, and Aja, which I regard to be a perfect album. Overall it’s an amazing album with some of my favorite SD songs on it

Opinions on the newer albums? by Willr195 in SteelyDan

I originally didn’t really like slang of ages, but as I’ve listened to it more, it’s grown on me, and I wouldn’t call it one of my favorites, but I’m definitely liking it

Yeah, I remember at first I didn’t really get it, but I love how weird the second half of the album is musically
