Or redouble your attack depending on what you think of Gaucho.(xp)

Gaucho is the grower for the already-converted - start with Katy Lied imo.

A greatest hits would be best. I wouldn't start with Gaucho.
― Eats like Elvis, shits like De Niro (Tom D.), Thursday, 9 February 2017 13:46 (seven years ago) link
yeah i thought about that even though i immediately loved gaucho
i've never been a newcomer to a band through an ilm poll but the steely dan poll is a really good summary of their stuff. good writing in the rollout too iirc

Committed to Gaucho, Don't hate this so far. Babylon Sisters vibe reminds me of the drinks party in The Player.

I listened to some of Katy Lied. I just don't like it, sorry. Specifically I don't like those 70s classic rock vocals and guitar solos, they just leave me completely cold.

serious, i highly recommend the "buy up the discography, focus on it for a week" approach. when i picked up SD's stuff, i didn't go on my computer for a month. try it!

that's what i did. i think i picked up the entire SD catalog for a few bucks an album at a single record store

for Steely Dan insert any artist in any sphere of art and this is true, which is why certain kinds of opinion - those that seek to prove cilantro tastes great/horrible by algebra, or those that just repeat over and over "I love/hate cilantro and there's nothing you can do to stop me", or those furrow-browed "why the hell does anybody like the taste of cilantro?" comments - are stupid and mockworthy and to be chased away if you feel like it on any given day

Ha that's how I got into Steely Dan. The Goodwill had a bunch of cassettes so I bought Katy Lied to see if I liked it. I did and went back and bought the rest. All of the original run except Gaucho. I listened to nothing else for a few months.

it definitely happens to people who never thought they would end up sitting around listening to steely dan. The Steely Dan Epiphany. someone should write that book. it's probably an age thing most of the time. this is probably true for genre too. mellow major dudes listening to more jazz as they get older and more sedentary.
