Ricky Don’t Lose That Number- S.Dan
Yes- No Static At All-FM
The Gaucho album is really underrated. Third World Man is an often overlooked masterpiece.
Wasn’t Michael McDonald the king of yacht rock?
T & T as you dive into more SD pay attention to their lyrics. They have songs about drug addiction , police stand offs , drug dealing , lust for younger women to name a few.
The musicians Steely Dan employ for their projects are stellar, facts! 💯🔥
You've probably heard many SD songs over the years, you just didn't know it. I grew up during the 70s and Steely Dan is a part of the soundtrack to my life.
" R E S P E C T "
Love Steely Dan, but not sure they’d be classified as yacht rock or even easy listening.
They’re more like a fusion of funky jazz and blues 🎷
Bottom line though- Steely Dan is GREAT!!
I don't know if you have reacted to a band called Player doing "Baby come back" but it personifies what you were talking about.
Yacht rock is the dumbest term ever.
If what T says is right, that all soft rock/yacht rock is sexy, y'all should be turning down the lights at the end of the vid.😉Bow chicka bow.😂
The reaction was spot on. Steely Dan often has amazing jazz rock fusion and adult themed lyrics. Thank you
Tee's eureka moment over the Aretha Franklin bit is priceless! Did you pick up the "Cuervo Gold" and "fine Columbian" lines too? 😀
It would be great to see your reaction to "Ricky Don't Lose That Number"
The Dan always makes me smile. I was 19 in 1974, for me now, it's like Hey 45! I'm still in the game.
Dan, Dan, more Dan, you'll never look at or listen to music the same way again after listening to more Dan, they are the genre, real professional composers.
jazz/R&B/rock fusion = Steely Dan. Dozens and dozens of stellar, deep tracks.
get to the freaking song already intro way too long
I never caught the strip club reference ever before but it makes sense. I'm thinking "Honey Don't Leave L.A." by James Taylor would be great.
YAAAAAAAY!!! I'm SO GLAD ya'll are hittin' this one!! 🙂 SO GOOD!!! …and, the LYRICS!! LOVE this rabbit hole ya'll are following with the YACHT ROCK!!! 🙂 Hope ya'll are diggin' it, too!! HUGS!
For me: Yacht Rock is low-key music you could play in a group of people that NO ONE can OBJECT to – because it's just AWESOME and, even if they DO REALLY listen to it playing in the background – it's INTERESTING and SOUNDS GREAT!!!!!
You two make a great couple. Keep it up! P.S. I took a shot of Cuervo Gold while this was playing. It's just a thing.
I would classify Steely Dan as Prog Rock rather than Yacht Rock.
A quality crooner will always expose a womans ears. Quality music for a man. When it comes together, tho? Baby…
Enough with the term yacht rock. It’s a slight against the music. It’s definitely not positive, but if you want to disrespect the music and go negative, I have to move on.
Yeah great song and sound 👍
Thankfully, it's Hey Nineteen and not Hey Sixteen or something. She's not too young as far as legality or scandal. She's just too young for him to relate to. Seems like he's trying to talk music with her and doesn't even know who Aretha Franklin is. He acknowledges that she is pretty (hmm, hmm, hmm lmao). I guess he just decides to get drunk and high with her and do whatever.
Nice
Been a fan since 73. Not a bad song on any of their albums, SD is just pure smooth. That's what talented music sounds like.
After the lyrics about Aretha Franklin and Queen of Soul, he sang about Soul Survivors, which was blue eyed soul. Check out there song Expressway To Your Heart from the late 60's❤
I was 17 when 'Hey 19' was first being played on the radio. It was a top 40 hit — probably one of Steely Dan's most recognized songs.
If you want some instrumental soft-rock/jazzy songs, check out Spyrogyra. Good starting singles are Catching the Sun and Morning Dance. More than likely you will have heard parts of one or both somewhere at some time.
Not sure if it still holds up, but Steely Dan used to be referred to as: "Your favorite band's favorite band."
I combed thru these comments yet NO ONE said anything about "Deacon Blues"!! Absolutely the best Steely Dan song…AND because they were perfectionists in every way, this song went thru MULTIPLE studio sessions with various musicians playing all instruments. With that said, the official studio version is a little over 7 minutes…BUT years ago, someone cobbled together all the takes (intro/outtro) into one take! It is exactly 11 minutes and found searching "Deacon Blues Extended" in Youtube. If need be, hit me up and I'll find the link for you…been published a lot under different channels.
{Cough} Bob Seger is NOT yacht rock. Bob Seger is straight rock. Roadhouse rock – inflections of blues and soul – but DEFINITELY not yacht rock.
And Steely Dan is wonderful. Carry on. 😂
We can’t talk and we can’t dance but I still want to hook up tonight
This is not Yacht rock, it's prog rock. As a matter of fact, NOTHING is Yacht rock. It's a made up genre'~~ Please call it SOFT rock
The Cuervo Gold (Mexican firewater), the fine Colombian (bit of Charlie)
Make tonight a wonderful thing.
Yes please !
You should try kid charlemagne, by steely dan, many consider the guitar solo in this song as one of the best solos ever
Maybe you heard this song while you were rollerskating?
They can't relate at all…….but later, a little drink, some smoke… and they are a happy couple. Their music production is 2nd to none.
This whole album is FIRE. Been listening to it since it came out, was still in intermediate school. Great insights into the lyrics BTW.
As a teen in the 70’s, soft rock was my go to.
Still my fav, but now in my 60”s, I appreciate some of the classic rock that I didn’t listen to back then.
Chris Cross "Ride like the wind" Great Yacht rock!!
…music the grown folks play at the bbq after the kids go to sleep.
Try Babylon Sisters and FM by Steely Dan
I see your journeying through “yacht rock,” or as I like to call it “not rock.” 😅
