bluefox4000 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 One issue...I came across a song with an F Word. Is it bad that that really annoyed me? No, it's not. I know how you feel about that. And I don't think it's necessary to have language like that in songs at all. But I can also say that it is certainly not a regular thing, for them. In fact, I don't know of any other album/song of theirs where you'll find that. Maybe I'm just not thinking of it...but I don't think so. This reassures me...I will progress with ease! Definitely give Aja another listen or two. It's just really incredible pop and jazz/pop. It's timeless. There's only one song on it that I don't consider a wall-to-wall all-time classic. The other six tracks are. Not sure if I have ever made this apparent, but I truly love Aja! Played that dozens of times lol, but not for a while! Okay...I did know that you had heard it, but I didn't know how many times. And I didn't know if it deserved any kind of re-evaluation. Right, then. ;) The Royal Scam should be next! I agree with Mick. that one's got a rogher edge with some GREAT tasty guitar solo's Mick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) In what song? I never heard it. Not on this one another one and it turned me off. But I won't let that bother me. Sorry but I don't cuss in real life, its something that I really hate! So...in music it isn't welcome (I can handle it in film if its used for realism). Pet peeve, sorry! You don't have to apologize, I dislike it too. I also dislike crudity. But that's just me. It's just that I honestly don't recall them using that word in any song. What song is it? In the meantime, I just discovered that some here heartily dislike the song Digital Man. I'm trying to recuperate from the shock.

Mick That must be an awful experience. How do you top your best selling album? Some bands are able to ride the crest for a few albums before they start tumbling down. Others couldn't do it and we never heard of them again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others couldn't do it and we never heard of them again. They also had significant difficulty in making Gaucho- they worked on it for two solid years, and maybe a little more. I think Walter Becker was having some drug problems, and he also went through a terrible time with a girlfriend who either committed suicide or just died (I'm not sure which) in his apartment, in 1979. Gaucho was finally released in November of 1980. But Becker and Fagen parted ways the following year, for quite awhile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would anyone like that have a drug problem? What are they looking to numb? They have what many would love to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
