Walter Becker has died

[Fuzzbuster]

This is sad and shocking. His contribution to the music world is huge. He will be missed. R.I.P. Mr. Becker.

Damn. Rather ironic,as yesterday I was blasting Steely Dan all afternoon One of my favourite bass players,although I never understood why he ''demoted'' himself to guitar.

RIP Mr. Becker.

Aw man, so sorry to hear this. I always dug Steely Dan and I've been a big fan since I first heard them on the radio in '72-73, they were really doing something different and significant. Becker and Fagen were an amazing team, was hoping to see them on their next "album tour".

RIP Walter

Dang! One of my favorites who produced some of the best sounding recordings in the industry. Sad day.

 

[just dave]

They are one of My favorite bands.Walt I love ya man, thanks for all the great tunes.You shoulda been more famous but in this case it's probably a good thing you weren't.

 

[cratz2]

Well, damn.

 

[jimfet]

It's hard to fathom the amount of joints that got burnt while listening to SD. I witnessed a few.

Dang - so glad we caught them a couple years back at Nissan Pavilion/Grease Pit Live -
They did AJA and other hits and ran into Phil (BMWCCA) there as well ... Sad day!

Play on forever sir and thank you for for leaving us so many great recordings to revisit.

 

[jcamero]

Rest in Peace. The combination of Becker/Fagan was/is incredible for music.

 

[Jenkster]

Very sad news indeed! I think I wore out two copies of Aja back in the day. Pretzel Logic was my favorite album from them with the title track my favorite song. "He said you must be joking son, where did you get those shoes....................." classic!
RIP Walter, thanks for the music!

Rip, I been listening a lot to Walter's latest solo work and actually just took in Donald Flagen at Ruth Eckerd hall in Florida, great show heavy with Steely Dan songs.

1972 -1980
Eight records in eight years plus a greatest hits, I have every one of them and most multiple copies and masterings.

The Royal Scam album just made them really take off and they where golden by then, the GH album introduced everyone to what they may have missed in the first albums. Now aja, everybody had that album, you couldn't walk in to your friend house without seeing it leaning against something because it was never put away.
