Steely Dan. Any fans?

[TheTecknician]

I'm not a huge fan but a latter-day appreciator of their music. I only have one of their albums which is a compilation but it has some good songs. I think of those I've heard, I like 'Peg' and 'Hey Nineteen' the most. 'Deacon Blues' is a good song but it could do with being a little shorter!

My DD plays guitar and I can hear her in her room in the evenings playing stuff like Ventura Highway (America) and Stevie Nicks tunes. When TikTok is a force for good! She also has Peg on her 'cheesy' playlist - the nerve!

Having seen Nearly Dan the other day, I now feel the need to scratch the Steely Dan itch again. Apart from Nearly Dan and Simply Dan, can anyone recommend any more tribute bands please?

I love Steely Dan! I was first introduced to them in the 90s when I was 20 by a French guy I dated briefly. It wasn't love at first sound, but they grew on me and I've loved them ever since.

Don Fagan's voice is something else - so raw, soulful, unpolished, imperfect yet perfect!. Reminds me very much of of Phil Lynot who I also love.

Their music makes me think of hazy, warm summer days in the 70s, chilling out and having fun with friends. I was born in the 70s but wish I'd been born in the 50s or 60s as I'd have loved been a teenager or adult in the 70s.
