Hmm – I think I have to go back and find my CASSETTE TAPES of those albums. Or just visit the half-price bookstore.

Love Katy Lied, but also love The Nightfly. In fact, that could be one of my fave albums. IGY, Ruby Baby and one of my favorite house-cleaning tunes, "Walk Between the Raindrops."

Hi Keith – I'm not familiar with Fagan's solo work worth it I guess if it's your #1 of theirs? I think I nearly wore out Aja.

I love Steely Dan. My husband and I saw them at Blossom maybe three years ago? They actually were really good – I'd heard in the 70s and 80s that because of synth music, they weren't so great on the stage but I really enjoyed the show.

Hey Derek! Do you know how nice I feel knowing that you are still reading my blog? And okay – can I ask you an honest question?? The title of this post – how bad is it that when I saw it as one of the misheard lyrics, I laughed? I immediately thought of Angus cows duh – but then when I SAW the post, posted – my gut sank. How bad a boo boo?? If at all.

Jill

I was listening Steely Dan in junior high. The funny thing is that my parents actually tolerated it because of the jazz-like nature of the arrangements.

Actually my favorite of all is Donald Fagen's The Nightfly. I could listen to that album literally all the time. Aja would be my number two selection.

As for amiright.com, the first time I found this site I was eating lunch at work and almost did the soda through the nose take I laughed so hard. Its one of the great Internet time killers of our age.

oh, man, talk about coincidences. For the last two days I have been on a Steely Dan kick, which I go through every now and again. And what do I see this morning…this post.

Derek, how are you doing?

I have Aja and Gaucho on vinly still as well. I have The Royal Scam too and I think I have Katy Lied. As you might remember, my blog was called Chasing the Dragon until the illustrious Jeff Hess informed me that was a heroin reference.

I grew up on Steely Dan (my dad was a huge fan — God rest him) especially Gaucho and Aja. Come on, Two Against Nature wasn't that bad…except for "Cousin Dupree".

I had no clue what Kirschwasserhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirschwasser">Kirschwasser; was.
