tangy Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I saw Steely Dan last this year in Vegas. First time. I thought they sucked. Perhaps they needed Steve Gadd on the drums.Anyway, I put on "AJA" tonight. An epic masterpiece album. Every Rush Fan on the planet should own this record. The title track will always be my favorite. It's all about Gadd's triplets................... More like the well placed whistle! Keith carlock does just fine but the first time i saw the dan the drummer was dennis chambers iirc. Is aja still the high water mark for recording perfection? I have always heard that folks play aja when test driving high end components. ABSOFUCKKINGLUTLY! TANGY!!! Audiophile GENIUSES!!! I AM SO SAD!!!!!!! Me too. I love the dan for lots of reasons but their awesome emotion inducing lyricsMakes this all the sadder. Bad sneakers Barrytown Dr wu Any world Here at the western world Deacon blues...... RIP Walter! Surf and or die!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two discs after gaucho are not as good imo. Of the two, everything must go is better imo than two against nature. Godwhacker, slang of ages, almost gothic amd west of hollywood are all great tunes! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall, I think The Royal Scam is their most guitar-oriented album. Great, great record. I still consider Aja to be their masterpiece, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget to listen to Pretzel Logic too, and take note of the excellent production of an album from the early seventies. Their producer was the tops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
