Sundays for me are usually (but no always) time for Classical.

I never got into Steely Dan too much, I do like Reelin’ In The Years from that album👍
shareTwo singles were released from that album, their debut album. Reelin’ In The Years just missed being a Top Ten hit, peaking at #11. This one, reaching #6, was their first Top Ten.

That’s a good one too, they are two frequent flyers on the classic rock stations and both very good songs. I only know their radio hits and not anything else about the band.
shareThey had two other Top Tens:
#4 Rikki Don't Lose That Number (from Pretzel Logic)

#10 Hey Nineteen (from Gaucho)

My favorite album--tie between Can't Buy a Thrill, and Aja.
Its hard to hear the new Alice in Chains, but I think James is closer to the right sound than anyone since has gotten.

Inevitably this song, after many years, will pop into my head.
How I came to own the LP Steppenwolf Gold when I was maybe 12 years old, I don't know.
I loved it but it also seemed a little ... grimy? Are these a bunch of hard-living drug-taking thugs? ("shrug")
Sookie Sookie - Steppenwolf

Great video!
A real time capsule and a swinging song, thanks😎
And yet, from that same time period, I thought this song was marvelous as well.
The band is charming in their un-self conscious dorkiness, but somehow the vocal arrangement has a masculine joy to it.
At least to me. ymmv

A good friend of mine passed over not too long ago. Big music guy, I really loved him.
And I think he swiped this record from me.
I met a woman named Candy (quite a while ago) and I wanted to play her this song.
But when I looked through my collection of records, I couldn't find it.
Even years later, I would look to see if somehow I had misplaced it, and it was lingering in some unexpected spot in the stacks. Finally I had to conclude there was likely only one person who would covet such an odd double compilation LP of "jive blues" from the 40s through the 60s, best represented by the bandleader Johnny Otis (b. 1921 - d. 2012).
I always missed that album, but years later I miss even more my good friend and radio DJ Carl Stolz, at the controls.
We were never at a lack for conversation, and unlike myself, he was a wonderful elocutor. ("Elocutor" might not be a real word, but it means a good talker.)
Anyway, this is Big Maybelle with the song "Candy"
