Virtually every Steely Dan song sounds like a classy short story from a forgotten decade. Sign In Stranger from 1976's The Royal Scam is rather too noodly for my taste. They were definitely prone to noodling, But as always the production values were just immaculate.
I had a chat with the wonderful Richie, last time I was in RPM Records in Newcastle. It's great to talk to Record Shop guys who are such a font of knowledge music wise regardless of the band or artist you choose to bring up.
Richie said they've always been much sampled by Hip Hop artists and the like. Largely because they come from a time when budgets for recording purposes were virtually limitless. Their records still sound completely immaculate.This rundown should certainly be a smooth one if nothing else.
