      I felt like that for 30 years, then I watched a video about how they put their music together, and I said, "oh FFS" and started hated watching it, and suddenly they were a completely different band.

      I'll compare it to Popeye. I remembered Popeye as a silly cartoon for thirty years and then TCM started playing them and I swear it's the most profoundly seditious and brilliant social satire in American history including Bullwinkle.

      So, yes, on the surface Steely Dan absolutely sounds like Kenny G elevator music. But underneath it's more complicated than Mozart. And if nothing else it got forty years of suburban brood sows to happily whistle along to something called "Steely Dan" without once thinking to look up what that meant.

        Leave the Eagles alone. They're trash, but I like them nonetheless.

            I like Steely Dan, too. Not all of it, no way. But enough.

            I played a show with Peter Erskine back in college. He had some fun Steely Dan anecdotes. He has never been an official member, but he's played with them quite a bit.

            Fun tidbit: His daughter, Maya Erskine, is one of the creators and stars of Pen15. Her character's dad is the drummer for a Steely Dan tribute band.

              If he's played with SD he knows his stuff. Only Zappa and Robert Fripp had higher standards.

              Edit: holy crap, he played with Weather Report too. He's a virtuoso, and I'm guessing you're no slouch yourself.

                Him and Pastorius are a GOAT rhythm section, no doubt.

                Also, don't give me too much credit. It was a college jazz band thing. Taking the trombone solo in All Blues with him keeping the time was a thrill, though! His standards are obviously high, and he has a bit of a reputation of being a stereotypical jazz drummer. You know, mean.

                I didn't blow it and he said great job. I didn't ask questions. He was not nice to everyone.

                    I meant bandleaders who selected their personnel from studio musicians. Of course there are hundreds of individual talents who are amazing. But I meant band architects.

                      Well, he's better socialized than Ginger; he didn't assault you.

                            I had something typed up and initially posted, but decided that instead I'm just going to leave it alone.

                                The new James Bond theme song performed by Billie Eilish dropped a little bit ago.

                                It's not a "whisper song" like her pop hits have been.

                                And it's good. Like really good. Listened a few times already.
