The Greatness that is Steely Dan

[Onboard 2.0 9083]

Everything they did was magic up to, and right before Gaucho.  Aja is their masterpiece.

Skunk Baxter is a criminally underrated guitarist.

Fantastic. Saw Skunk in the mid 70's when he was touring with the Doobie Brothers. Dude is badass.

That's a great one. Home at Last. Kid Charlemagne w Larry Carlton.

Love Carolton’s guitar solo on Kid Charlemange.  Did a deep dive on his stuff - he did the guitar solo from the Magnum PI theme song.

I love Can’t Buy a Thrill. Just a good, chill album to throw on when you’re doing stuff around the house. 

Fuck yeah.

I was never super into Steely Dan, other than knowing a few of their hits. I bought a pristine used copy of "Can't Buy a Thrill" at a local record store on a whim several months ago, and goddamn if it didn't turn me into a Steely Dan superfan.  I fucking love that record.
