I am seldom affected by news of a celebrity's passing, but this made me tear up a bit. I know what I will listen to for the rest of the day... RIP, Mr. Becker. | |||

Never good to hear when we lose talented people. I think myself to be reasonably intelligent, but never fail to be slightly amazed when reminded that other people age right along with me. Oddly I had just reloaded my car's player with 'Best of Steely Dan' along with a Donald Fagan one as well, just a week ago. Their legacy lives/will live on. I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. -Ecclesiastes 9:11 | |||

Very sad indeed. They had that distinctive sound that was instantly recognizable. "Do it Again" is a favorite. Jim ________________________ "If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning" -Catherine Aird | |||

God speed Mr. Becker! I was in high school "73" to "77", so grew up with their music. My two favorite albums are "Pretzel Logic" and "AJA" (make it 3, "Can't Buy A Thrill" as well). Give them all a listen if you've never heard them. ******************************************** "On the other side of fear you will always find freedom" | |||

the news is saying that their music has Jazz infused in to it, if that is in fact the case, it's the closest Ive come to ever enjoying Jazz Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency. Neck Ties, Hats and ammo brass, Never ,ever touch'em w/o asking first | |||

Steely Dan is easily my favorite band of their time, and one of my favorites of all time. Cheers to Walter Becker. Fagen says they are rockers with a heavy jazz influence, but are not jazz. Which is accurate. What a great line-up in that video of "My Old School" - Fagen, Becker, Denny Dias, and Skunk Baxter. The original band fell apart not long after, and Fagen and Becker continued on with studio guys. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

I liked Steely Dan. A guy I met when I was just 16, who used to live around here and play in a band around here was asked several times to join Steely Dan. Elliot Randall was his name. He did lead guitar on Reelin'. NRA Life Endowment member Tri-State Gun collectors Life Member | |||

Steely Dan, one of my all-time favorite musical groups of any genre, IMO were close to perfect, almost Beatle-like. Two nerds writing extremely clever, catchy music unlike anyone else, nothing like it, total originals to the end. Yet EVERYONE knew the songs; blacks, whites, Mexicans, metal heads, punkers, disco dancers, etc. all loved Steely Dan in high school. And the two nerds, who wrote these excellent numbers, got the absolute best musicians, producers, and engineers to create the absolute best quality recordings in popular music. And yet these guys loathed publicity, never had their photos on their album jackets, rarely gave interviews, hated to be photographed. They weren't posers, pretentious assholes, nor did they take themselves seriously. What a perfect "band".
