ChimpGrip Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 How would you rate his music? Top 10? 20? 50 all time? Why are his songs so saddening? Or is this just me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueliner Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Love Steely Dan. One of my favorites. Phenomenal musicians. Never saw them live. But I did see a cover band years ago that sound JUST like them. It was cool. Not the real deal, but cool nonetheless. 😎 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not know that. But after some thought, I think its because of the sounds. The instrumentals. Often, I listen closer to the sounds I hear and remember songs that way over remembering lyrics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even back in the day people that loves the band didn’t realize it. Kinda like that band that sang “Relax”. ....people loved it and were singing it everywhere. What they didn’t know is that it’s about gay anal sex. Shit, I still like the song. Crazy. But I digress. SD’s music is very technical and moving. Most bands arent too technical because the average Joe listener cant appreciate it because it’s usually not poppy enough. Peg and Do It Again are awesome. But they have so many great tunes. 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troll Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Relax (and just suck it lol) By the end of 1984, the BBC lifted the ban on “Relax,”👀 since it had turned into the song of the year.<<<F'in polls again...amazing isn't it? It was played on Christmas Day on Top of the Pops. Since then, Frankie Goes To Hollywood..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His music was ok...catchy tunes, but nothing super special for me 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
