Doom break: ‘Can’t Buy A Thrill” by Steely Dan...one of the greatest albums of All Time!!!
As good as music gets.

Have thought the same since getting to know it in the mid eighties. Timeless and of the era like no other album ever. Came out in ‘72. Brilliant stuff. Admittedly wasn’t pure Fagan and Becker like subsequent albums but the session work impeccable, as always.

Wanna take a trip without leaving your living room? Put this on.

Those who know, know. Others, thank me later.

It is.. by a group that didn't tour.

I hated the arrogant attitude of the principals in this group but they made great music and hired the best backing musicians and singers.

Great recordings as well.

Yes fantastic! Loved Steely Dan! Didn't realize they didn't tour, of course I live in Montana, and most bands never came here. I did see Fleetwood Mac, Seals & Croft, BB King, a few others.

^^^Now this is a person of great musical taste imo.

The arrogant attitude likely allowed for the greatness of the music...no room for sub par crap. I’ve never once listened to any song on this album and felt nothing. It gets in your soul. More than nostalgia.

Donald Fagan had severe stage fright. They didn’t really tour until the early 90’s but tour routinely since (or did before the stupid ass covid crap).

Something's wrong here...

That was their first album. On the liner notes to the follow-up albums, they mention touring. So how can you say they NEVER toured? They were touring heavily in the begining.

In fact, they blamed the poor sales of their next album on the fact that they were spending too much time touring when it was being recorded.

My favorite group of all time. The greatest musicians that played on their albums... just amazingly brilliant musicianship, arrangements.

Donald Fagen, mind blowing unique lyricist! In my personal top five list, the first two are.............................

1. The Nightfly (Donald Fagen)
2. Aja (Steely Dan)

Happy New Year!

They did tour for the album OP mentioned, and their second, too, I believe.

Weird dudes. Great writing, insane attention to production.

Picking a fave Steely disc for me is a moving target.
