Steely Dan advised us to 'Turn up the Eagles, the neighbours are listening' on 'Everything You Did.'
''Glenn Frey of the Eagles said, "Apparently Walter Becker's girlfriend loved the Eagles, and she played them all the time. I think it drove him nuts.''
the Eagles returned the favour on "Hotel California" with the line, "They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast." With the clear intention of getting a Steely Dan mention in the song, the line was written as "They stab it with their Steely Dan," but they decided to make it a little more vague. As Glenn Frey has pointed out, changing it to "steely knives" retains the phallic imagery.
Personally I still occasionally listen to 'Hotel California' (the whole album ofc), their first album, 'One Of These Nights' and 'The Long Run.'
'After The Thrill Has Gone' from 'One Of These Nights' is one of the best things ever done by anyone ever and wipes out all their other sins and omissions as far as I'm concerned.
