The 1973 Steely Dan song that Steven Tyler turned down: “Are you serious?”
Forces almost colliding.
Steely Dan
The one band Linda Ronstadt said was much better than her: “I’m not comparing myself”
The true musical technicians.
The musicians who made Steely Dan sound like no one else: “Most pop music, nothing much happens”
A perfect playlist too.
“The irony”: the two songwriting duos Steely Dan never even tried to compete with
In a league of their own.
The band David Crosby called the best since The Beatles: “I’ve always been a fan”
The finest collection of musicians.
“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.”
