“The only time we ever compromised”: When Steely Dan sold out
One time only.
Steely Dan
“He wasn’t kidding”: The Steely Dan song Steve Gadd didn’t remember recording
Perfection passing him by.
“I’m sick of it”: The song and American suburb that turned Steely Dan against the Eagles
“Everybody’s in LA’s playing this f–kin’ record.”
The band Glenn Frey hailed as the bravest songwriters: “We were always quite amazed”
Too cool for school.
The Steely Dan song that left Michael McDonald completely defeated: “I wasn’t able to do it”
“I smoked way too much at that point.”
Steely Dan’s impossible song: “It’s very existence is a contradiction”
Beyond any guitarist’s capabilities.
