RIP Walter.

Really sad to hear that - 67's no age these days. Steely Dan were an astonishing band. Will get some on the old record deck this evening in his honour.

One of the best intro's of all time, thank you Walter,

Daddy can't get no fine cigar, but we know you're smokin' wherever you are.

Oh no! One of my all time favourite bands. Any Major Dude being just one of many superb tracks. RIP Mr Becker, thanks so much for the enjoyment you gave.

And how about this little classic

You probably know that this was not a love song but a song about Rick Derringer the guitarist who worked with Steely Dan ? They wanted him to join their band but Rick opted not to but there was no falling out and Becker and Fagen penned this song about it... Hence " Ricky don't lose that number, you don't want to call nobody else " was an open invitation to come back and work with them anytime.

This. Great band name too.

 

[Napier]

This. Great band name too.

Named after a dildo.

Indeed, Any Major Dude is right up there with the best....nostalgia time tonight I think. Could probably play all their albums back to back without a duff track.

One of the best debut albums ever, which still sounds great today.

RIP

RIP Walter. Steely Dan provided much of the soundtrack of my years at university. For me this little angst ridden classic is their best
