A memory pinged...   In the earlier days of t'internet, I mind some site where it was suggested helpful to rate bands (so in ways we are now more familiar, stuff to my taste would be directed, I thought).   I'm not sure cookies even existed then.

No comments came from me.   I just gave Steely Dan a 6 or 7 out of 10 or something, but got fuggin' hate mail from some kid.   (Seemed juvenile to me, anyway.)   Funny and scary it was.

Was that too low or too high a score are you wondering?  😄   Anything below 11 was sacrilege it seemed.

I liked Steely Dan especially in the 70s. Can't Buy a Thrill was & still is(?) a very good album with Do It Again, Reelin' in the Years & Dirty Work. Countdown to Ecstasy with the excellent Show Biz Kids with Rick Derringer on slide guitar. Then Pretzel Logic with another excellent single in Rikki Don't Lose That Number.

I saw them later in 2000 at the NEC in Birmingham & although they were good - it was just like sitting at home listening to the tracks. No stage presence or emotion. Just going through the process. Very disappointing & even boring. :unsure:
