It was a picture he made for Halloween with the caption
Halloween Week: STEELY DAN There’s nothing so terrifying as how smooth they sound.

i did make a mistake, right order and everything however Can't Buy a Thrill had 1063 points with only 1 number one vote. i was drinking last night.

i love the royal scam too. and can't buy a thrill. i actually placed them in the places they ended up in, but on another day they could have finished much higher for me. like i said before, my favorite steely dan album depends on my mood and sometimes the weather or how good or bad the party i went to the night before.

'don't take me alive' was the first steely dan song i heard from TRS and i bought it the next day. it's this perfect steely dan-meets-neil young's "ditch trilogy" album.

from Becker's wikipedia, it appears that many difficult things occurred between 1978 and 1980.

is that baxter's hand on the console?

either that or someone under the console

that's overall dude's hand on his console

The closest digit doesn't look like a thumb, which is what it would be if it were Baxter's hand.

Nichols' contribution was acknowledged when his disembodied hand appeared from underneath the mixing desk on the back cover of Countdown To Ecstasy, along with his credit as "The Immortal".

genuinely surprised by these results so far. i thought katy and gaucho would be ILM's 1 and 2. but maybe it's just that their supporters are louder than pretzel logic's old man support contingent (of which i am sometimes a member), and aja's -- actually i'm not sure what to call team aja. but i like all of these albums so it's all good.

No, I mean, I came to Steely Dan through Phish. The Phishheads who turned me on to SD were huge fans of Royal Scam. There is a very obvious influence.
this comment has been haunting me, and explains why The Royal Scam has never sat well with me
