Polled At Last: STEELY DAN - ILM Artist poll #50

two places I could have heard it: KBPI or KAZY, the two competing AOR stations back then

a toast to the classic days of classic rock!

"KBPI rocks the Rockies"

I'm glad to see this thread bumped with Dan-related content, instead of the one with the weirdly long stupid quote that gets truncated mid-phrase and

Steely Dan: "Steely Dan's name has been popping up as a hip musical crush. Remember, this glossy bop-pop was the indifferent aristocracy to punk rock's stone-throwing in the late 70's. People fought

also that thread title seems to imply that Steely Dan is saying that quote.

I hate being commanded to remember something

also that thread title seems to imply that Steely Dan is saying that quote.

Could be from a Walter Becker mid-show monologue.

the best part of review where quote came from is the contrast between the out-of-touch boomer Steely Dan fan and the young, hip kid listening to the fucking Fragile

The Fragile: the Gaucho of Industrial Alternative

ha, that's at least kind of plausible. I though the young, hip kid was listening to Fragile by Yes!

that dicrescenzo review remains so breathtakingly dumb, my second least favorite review from Pitchfork

The Fragile is now as old as Aja was at the time of the review, but nobody bothers to make fun of aging Gen Xers except ourselves.

i do wish NiN had spent a little more time working the vein of glossy bop-pop, tho

I hurt myself today
In that ditch out in the valley
That they're digging just for me

DiCrescenzo an equal opportunity misanthrope - he gave The Fragile a 2.0 five months before he wrote the Dan review!

You go back, Jack, do it again
Bow down before the one you serve

The Cuervo Gold
the fine Columbian
Make me want to fuck you like an animal

When Black Friday comes
I'm gonna dig myself a hole
Black as your soul
I'd rather die than give you control.

On the water down in New Orleans
My baby's the pearl of the quarter
She's a charmer like you've never seen
Singing: "starfuckers incorporated"

i love the other thread title. "People fought" cracks me up
