Blue J Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 And I think Countdown to Ecstasy is a great album as well. It has a harder edge than something like Katy Lied, definitely. I love it, though. I listened to it all the way through just yesterday, for the first time in a very long time. Â But Segue, if you adore Katy Lied, I'll say again- you may really enjoy Pretzel Logic, too. It's not quite as clean and smooth. But very good, all the same. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 I'm waiting for Pretzel Logic to arrive. If the USPS was worth the money it charges to ship stuff, it would be here today. But, it will probably arrive next week. Maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 And speaking of The Dan, it is a good Steely Dan day. I will go listen to them. Starting with Aja. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the whole song, but that one part there is a particular poignancy about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 I don't think Rush could write a song like Steely Dan, do you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I don't think Rush could write a song like Steely Dan, do you? nope. not a chance. Neil is to well read on the lyric end. and the arrangements....i hate to say are to sophisticated for what Rush do. Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I would say Steely Dan surprised me today. I didn't really take anything from the other albums I played, but Katy Lied was quite the shock to the senses. Complex music, but also fanciful, relaxing, and a hoot to listen too!Not sold on the band just yet, but this album at least is a real winner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Oh dude, just get Countdown and Royal Scam, crank them on a drive or something. Â Katy, Aja and Gaucho are a great trio of smooth as silk pop tunes, but those other ones kick major booty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
