[crim son]

1. I hate Steely Dan!

But don't tell WritingIsMyReligion or she'll travel north and assassinate me.

[Rising Phoenix]

2. I hate steely dan!

:puke:

[IndianaJones]

3. Steely Dan sucks. nt.

[Midlodemocrat]

4. Hate is kind of strong, but I'm not a fan.

[LynneSin]

22. Your vote doesn't count - you're probably drunk on wine right now

:hide:

<<<wishes I were drunk on wine right now>>>

[Lord Wortherington]

5. Who the hell thought Annandale was appropriate subject matter

for song lyrics? D.C. bureaucrats probably rock out to that part.

[JVS]

10. The song is about Annandale, NY not VA

[Felix Mala]

16. Donald Fagan went to school there...

Chevy Chase was a classmate and played drums in an early version of the band.

[Lord Wortherington]

29. Dang, all these years I was so wrong.

Turns out Dave Grohl went to the Annandale, Virginia High School.

[MorningGlow]

6. Oh, me! me!

:hi:

It's not an active loathing, though. Their sound just irritates me, like nails on a blackboard. I'm not saying they're bad; they just don't tickle MY ears nicely.

[Lex]

7. Can't say as I "hate" many things.

I prefer certain music, but don't hate the rest.

:hi:

[madinmaryland]

8. They have them blaring out of the toll booths in Delaware..

:grr:

[JVS]

9. Steely Dan rocks!

[Bryan]

11. I'm beginning to like Steely Dan, and it concerns me

I wonder if it's not a consequence of getting older; if so, it's frightening. At this rate, I might start liking Chicago any time now. In fact, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to find some punk to listen to...

[Felix Mala]

14. Your everlasting summer...

You can see it fading fast
So you grab a piece of something
That you think is gonna last
You wouldnt know a diamond
If you held it in your hand
The things you think are precious
I cant understand

[Bryan]

15. Touché!

n/t

[SoxFan]

12. Hoover-class suckitude

Pretentious, pseudosophisticated, tuneless, all-technique-no-heart twaddle.

[Felix Mala]

13. Love Steely Dan...

I think some of the posters here might be Steely Dans...

(For those who know the reference.)



Oh no
No Im never gonna do it without the fez on...

[JVS]

17. Dig the wicked tunes!

[Va Lefty]

18. Have to agree

As one who went to Annandale High School (Home of the Atoms) I can understand the line "California tumbles into the sea. That'll be the day I go back to Annandale."

[Felix Mala]

20. Hack bands don't write all the great lyrics SD have written...

[WritingIsMyReligion]

26. Rose Darling, come to me; Snake Mary's gone to bed.

:D

[MnFats]

37. any band named after a literary dildo is in trouble.

about 85 percent of their music sucks.

[ghostsofgiants]

19. I can't say I hate them, but...

Only because I've never heard more than 10 seconds of any of their songs before being lulled into a very deep sleep by them.

[1gobluedem]

21. Me...

And, unfortunately, both my SO and my best friend LOVE them.....:(

[Magrittes Pipe]

23. Oh, they're positively horrid.

:hi:

[LynneSin]

25. Al - you are positively horrid, so how can you judge?

:eyes:

[JVS]

28. Et tu whoisalhedges?

[LynneSin]

24. Perhaps this post should be retitled

"Who here in DU has absolutely no fucking taste in music whatsoever"

[Felix Mala]

27. Any major dude will tell ya...

Any minor world that breaks apart falls together again
When the demon is at your door
In the morning it wont be there no more
Any major dude will tell you

[lildreamer316]

30. SACRILEGE!!!

We can no longer be friends. :cry:

Of course, I also like Nickelback, so ......

[JVS]

35. Nickleback SUCKS!

[Felix Mala]

41. I wasn't much of a fan until I heard their cover Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting...

That is pure rock-n-roll.

[MrScorpio]

31. All you Steely Dan haters... You disappoint me

Really do

[kwassa]

32. Pop music is too trivial to "hate".

Steely Dan was fine in it's time, which was what, 25 years ago???

Time has moved on, however.

Like all so-called classic rock, the stuff has been played to death. To death. I never need to hear any of it ever again.

[LynneSin]

33. Well if they actually made decent stuff today I wouldn't rely on the classics

:eyes:

[kwassa]

36. try other genres of music

you being a relative youngster haven't heard this stuff from the very beginning.

My wife said one day "are we the first generation to be forced to listen to the music of our teenage years forever?"

I gave up on rock in the mid-80s, and went off exploring African, Caribbean and Latin styles. Also classical music and jazz.

I still like some roots-rock and blues, but don't care if I hear many rock songs ever again. They have worn trenches in my memory.

[LynneSin]

39. YOUNGSTER???!!!

Who are you calling a youngster, you old fart

:hide:

(Let's put it this way - I was suppose to see Led Zeppelin in concert)

[Bennyboy]

42. You just might get your chance...

The lead singer of the Cult, said they are going to the opening act for the LZ tour in 08.

BTW, I saw them four times. Not all that.

[Bennyboy]

40. They do...it just never reaches your ears.....

Spearhead. Widespread Panic. Gov't Mule. String Cheese Incident. Leftover Salmon. Arcade Fire. My Morning Jacket. Galactic. ben Harper. Ani DiFranco.

There is so much really great music made by newer acts.....

[musiclawyer]

34. I used to be wowed when I was younger

But when I got older and realized I was being wowed by their audio engineering. Yes, they have some cool tunes, but now it works better as background music. If I really want some good music to penetrate me I'll listen to the Shins, or Ellliot Smith, or Jesus Christ Superstar or myriad other things a little more raw, with more heart and less fabricated.

[Bennyboy]

38. Not my favorite....

all chops..not much heart....I actually saw them on their first (and only till the 90's) tour in 74. they opened for Rare Earth (imagine That!) and the reviewers all hated it. They did no type of show, just played the music etc. I thought it was great myself, I love their first two albums.But that was a baqnd,not just Fagen and Brecker as they are now with a hired band. But now they seem to have gotten too self absorbed.
