Not sure if it still holds up, but Steely Dan used to be referred to as: "Your favorite band's favorite band."

[icdogg]

Yacht Rock is a latter day description for something that never was called that when the music was created. A way to lump some music together into a genre that didn't really exist. So defining what it actually is, is not something I'd even attempt

[johntremmel]

Yacht rock is easy listening steely Dan is a whole different animal,

[alldayadventures]

FM, by SD is exactly the song you are describing...pre-song chat
No Static at All

[mitzifrancis]

Definitely more Steely Dan ❤

You just can't go wrong. They're my "desert island" band for sure!

[fletchermunson]

Becker and Fagan were musical geniuses. So much great music and it hangs in there half a century later when other disposable music disappears. The test of time and continuing joyful ear candy for us.

Steely Dan reaches everyone. You can claim to be a hip hop fan, metal head, pop, jazz...even country and they will touch you. I was just little kid in the '70s and knew they were good.

If you ever went skating this is a favorite skating song🎶🎶🎶

[goldenruletv]

Steely Dan "Aja" is an album everyone must own. Masterpiece.

[silversagerae]

Love some steely Dan. Wore out my copy of Aja.

[jml-rjre]

jazz/R&B/rock fusion = Steely Dan. Dozens and dozens of stellar, deep tracks.

[allengardner]

You guys are the epitome of this song. It's about how little to nothing different generations have nothing in common which makes it hard to relate. lately, I've been checking out all these reaction videos and they all have one thing in common. the music of the 60s began a series of music artists who hated being put into a genre because there was so much crossover. That's why many of these reaction videos try to classify this period's music as somewhat funny. The album's cover art is based upon a low relief sculpture by Argentine artist Israel Hoffmann. Entitled "Guardia Vieja – Tango" (Old Guard – Tango), the original is located in a street museum known as Caminito in La Boca, a neighborhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

I was 17 when 'Hey 19' was first being played on the radio. It was a top 40 hit -- probably one of Steely Dan's most recognized songs.

[colewinkler]

Any Major Dude Will Tell You... to check out Black Cow. LOL, JK. Those are Steely Dan songs.

[kbrewski]

Hey Nineteen is about a guy who used to be a cool ("dandy") college frat boy who thought he had "game" back in the late 60s (Fagen and Becker went to college at a small liberal arts hippy college called Bard in upstate NY in the late 60s). He was reminiscing about all the sweet young gals they used to meet from Boston (big college town).

Then fast forward and he's now somewhere in a club or bar near Scarsdale and he meets this young gal who's college age, but he's now a decade or more older. He's amazed this gal doesn't even know who Aretha is. But he's having a good time, they are drinking Cuervo, and they smoke some weed (the fine Colombian), so the night is wonderful. he really hook up with this 19 year old, or is he really imagining it sitting at home drinking and smoking a j alone? SD always leaves room for

[darylcadman]

Best Hey that fealing in their music. Will never date

[manonthemoog]

I have a story about SD that mirrors this song.

I was living in Brooklyn back in the late 90s when a friend called to say he was coming over with 2 girls from his job to have a couple of drinks. He arrived with a pair of 23 yr olds and a bottle of Stoli. While he mixed drinks, I had to select a CD to play. I knew nothing about these girls, so I reached for my standby go-to record, Aja, of course.

Bad idea.

"What IS this?"
"Do you LIKE this?"
"This music is like, old man's music."

And that was the highligt of the evening.

[lisalovemc]

This is such a awedome smooth song. My 12 yr old self was just singing along when it first came out not realizing what it was truly about. Then a few yrs later I was laughing hysterical when it hit me. Still love it....skate a little lower now 🙂

[larryordine]

"Hard times for the Soul Survivors" a cute play on words.

[skockets]

I agree Seger is DEF not Yacht Rock. and though he’s incredibly soulful, I’d not put him in the Blue Eyed Soul category as well. The closest he might have ever come to ‘Yacht Rock’ might be ‘Against the Wind.’ You might wanna check that song out if you haven’t already…
