Steely Dan

Aja is the only one I've owned. Never really heard any of the others.

 

Damn girl,

 

Your slacking off! :LOL:

 

Wasn't really my type of music when I was younger. I was more of a hard rock kinda gal. :D

 

If you like Steely Dan,

 

You really need to check out the stuff before Aja.

 

Anything you suggest?

 

See my reply to Narpet earlier today, when he asked the same thing, basically. If you just want to go with one, make it The Royal Scam.

When I decide to run one down on vinyl this will be the first one it appears. I could listen to Aja all day but I want to broaden my horizons a bit with this band.... :)

 

I think I'll just download it from iTunes. :)

 

If you can download the Amazon music player, you can load the tunes onto it- they're selling it new for $3.99, and you can listen right away, with that player. It will go directly into your iTunes as well, from there.

 

And then in a few days, you'll have the hard copy arrive through the mail, too. :)

 

Oh really? I'll check that out. :)

 

Yeah, I think iTunes is selling it for $7.99, which I'd still good, but I looked on Amazon and found that all of their '70s back catalog was available for no more than $4.99 per album, I believe. And since I have that music player from them and could listen to it right away...it was a no-brainer. I've had Aja and Pretzel Logic on vinyl for ages, but nothing digitally. So I'm going to fix all that. And for cheap!

I wouldn't know how to do iTunes if you held a gun to my head and please please nobody try to explain it to me.... :codger: :D

 

I am the same way about myriad other things when it comes to technology (converting a .rar file into something I can listen to comes to mind)...and I resisted digital music downloading for years and years...

 

...but then I caved. :P

Has he ever heard Aja? He strikes me as the type of person who would like that song.

 

He has. I know he posted about that a few days ago. Said he wasn't terribly keen on the album as a whole a little while back, but was warming up to it a bit more now.

You know how on Amazon you can listen to snippets of songs on albums? Well, I'm so desperate to find the song that I used to love but can't remember that that is what I am doing. And with dial up, it is no easy task. Believe it or not, just to get those ten or fifteen seconds of music takes a long time for each one, and then I only get two or three seconds of the song to listen to at a time. So, I hear two seconds. It stops. It plays another two or three seconds. Stops. Repeat.

 

However......

 

Perseverance wins the day once again!!!

 

I found the song.

 

It's Pretzel Logic.

 

Yay for me. :yes:
