I like Steely Dan, but it did take effort. I didn’t get it at all when I was younger. Too jazzy, too clinical, too cooly uninterested in drawing you in with any warmth, and then there are the impenetrable lyrics.
After I lived with a couple of mates who played it a lot though, I started to get it. I have all their records, not hard to pick them up cheaply on vinyl, or wasn’t 20 years ago!
Maybe considering the dislike of them in this thread, they are my guilty pleasure?
Think I have gaucho,aja and royal scam. Aja is the only I’ve played.
I feel it’s music I should like,but find it to polished. Will give them another go.
It’s definitely very polished, to a silly degree. I do enjoy listening to a fair few of their albums, but every now and then I get that feeling that they’re just far too pleased with their own musical cleverness
Yes, it’s a polished and sophisticated take on pop. Like it or not, put one of their records on and you can immediately tell that it’s them.
Definitely, they are very pleased with themselves. 
If you don’t like the idea of going berzerk in Miami or California with an unbuttoned satin shirt & sore nostrils you may not ‘get’ the Dan and / or Yacht Rock.
A very amusing guilty pleasure of mine is Chris de Burgh.
He’s done a couple of really interesting tracks on his early albums that I got into, so I decided to wade through his entire back catalogue once and loads of it is arse-clenchingly bad. I don’t suppose this will be news. 
I’ve said this before but for me their first two albums are listenable, no more than that.
Beyond that point they promptly disappeared up their own arses.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
I went unintentionally to a Robbie Williams gig once. He (and the dozen or so other people on stage with him) was brilliant. I don’t care. He just was.
Think this could be an interesting thread
What was the best music made on;
Heroin
Ecstasy
Coke
Dope
Drink
I have a musician friend who likes to talk about new music. If I mention some new act or other and try to describe the sound he waves his hands about and just says what drugs do they and their audience take?
I really like boss drum
But also really like non stop erotic cabaret
The tricky word there is best. Best selling (Often means best marketing) or best sounding?
This would be my choice for best three! Royal scam is my own personal favourite
Roofies?
Be a short thread, because the answer is “Yes.”
Apparently the first album made on ectasy when it was unknown and legal
