If by "today" you mean 1978 ... I would say yes.

But if you are talking about a literal interpretation of "today" (i.e., 10/1/12) ... then I would say no.

How about "tomorrow" in geological terms?

 Amazing how polished it is for such a big band.  

Maurice,


Would be prone to messing up if you played in The Dan?

Yes I would.  The only song of theirs I ever mastered was Aja.  Simple three chord song.  
























Wait.  No
When Josie Comes Home.  


In fact, even Josie uses 75% of the entire library of chords out there.  And every note accessible on a guitar at some point during the song.  

My fav SD is the guitar intro to Don't Take Me Alive.

Yeah, that's nice. I love the riff to 'Godwhacker', the 'Kid Charlemagne' solos, the groove in 'Cousin Dupree'...ah, loadsa things.

Would Turner have been a landmark artist today?  He'd probably be something like Johnny Nice Painter today just doing moody landscapes for a local society.
 
You can't separate art from it's time.  And why would you?
 
This just comes across as another old fart thread for those coming to terms with the loss of youth. 
 
If you still enjoy listening to it then it's as good as it ever was.  The kids (along with the business itself as ever), decide what music, if anything at all, drives the music business today and why on earth would they be into Steely Dan?  It's old farts music.  We like it because we are old farts and it's of our time.
 
Simples.

Jonbouy's on to suumpuin'.

This place should be renamed to:

The Old Farts House (now get off our lawn)

I liked 'em when I was a young fart though...

Such was the way of young farts of the era.

My avatar knows, Daryl...it knows what you did...

Gettin' old has it's perks. I ike being able to fart with each step when I get out of a chair...

BTW, I came to terms with loss of youth about 10 years ago. Now I am trying to come to terms with loss of health, not that I am sick, I'm not but the endurance level is going astray. I am thankful for the small things... that can now be made larger.

It is a great time to be alive. I feel like I have seen a little bit of everything. I remember black and white TV... with TWO channels and a huge antenna dad put atop a teephone pole he got some friends with Bell to install. I remember segregation. Yes it was a stain. I remember when it was OK to not be safe. I lived through with no concept of a mobile phone or for that matter a personal music player, other than a small AM radio.Iremember when FM radio came along. I remember our telephone, the one that you would click the buttons under the rest for the handset to get the operator to come on the line so you could tell her who you wanted to call and the number was preceded by two letters, ours was Y U or Yukon-****. 

On the other hand. I had one of those moblie phones that had a shoulder strap. Now I carry it in my pocket. Ihave a caculator in the drawer with more computing power than NASA had in 1969. We gotour first computer in 1997, alng with the internet... game change! I found out that a Strat and a Peavey was not, in fact, good enough... that I needed this and that and the other...

Now.. HDTV. I cannot count the things I have seen both sides of...heck, I'm sure a lot of you remember when LPs were all mono... then Stereophonic came along.... but rest assured it will play fine on your mono record player. It is like the best time to live, to have lived and to continue... I hope to live.

Some things were good in spite of what anyone may think though... I had a Motorola 8-track cassette player in my VW microbus hippie van... in my second one, the first one was a campervan, anyway, I had my Silvertone 1485 speaker cab sitting on a shelf in back of the van. I wired three 10s to one side and the other three 10s tothe other side of the stereo. It sounded incredible, the hiss would scare you, but it was LOUD as heck and had great bass. I still had to strategically place a folded matchbook under the tape so it wouldn't drag,wow and flutter city....

Yeah... old fart... farting away!!
