Steely Dan - 1972 - Can't Buy A Thrill
Steely Dan is an American rock band; its core members are Donald Fagen and Walter Becker. The band's popularity peaked in the late 1970s, with the release of seven albums blending elements of jazz, rock, funk, R&B, and pop. Rolling Stone magazine has called them "the perfect musical antiheroes for the Seventies. The band's music is characterized by complex jazz-influenced structures and harmonies played by Becker and Fagen along with a revolving cast of rock and pop studio musicians. Steely Dan's "cerebral, wry and eccentric" lyrics, often filled with sharp sarcasm, touch upon such themes as drugs, love affairs, crime, and their true-to-life "contempt of west coast hippies." Can't Buy a Thrill is the first album by Steely Dan. Originally released in 1972, the album was a huge success. It went gold, and then platinum, peaking at #17 on the charts. In 2003, the album was ranked number 238 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. 01 - Do It Again 02 - Dirty Work 03 - Kings 04 - Midnight Cruiser 05 - Only A Fool Would Say That 06 - Reelin' In The Years 07 - Fire In The Hole 08 - Brooklyn (Owes The Charmer Under Me) 09 - Change Of The Guard 10 - Turn That Heartbeat Over Again LINK
