Reelin' in the Years - Steely Dan

This is the song for which most people know Steely Dan. It was a #11 chart hit released on their second album. It's been recognized on several different "best of" music lists over the years, including 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks. I love the song, but I can hardly stand to watch them perform it. Between the huge mouth on Donald Fagen and the crazy, messed up teeth on David Palmer, they're not the easiest group of people to look at on stage.


I went to listen to local band Downtown King last night at the V Club in Huntington, WV, and they covered a song from the group. It put me in a mindset for the post. They also jammed a couple of original tunes that were awesome. If you ever get the chance to see them perform, go!
