Featuring the great Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter on lead guitar. I was lucky enough to catch him live with the Doobie Brothers, at the Reading Festival in '77

Such a talented musician. He did all the guitar work, including a great outro solo, on FM

This is my favourite too

Gutted never got to see them live

[Sgt. Pepper]

Love a regular hit of Steely Dan.

All the best Walter.

[Rocco Siffredi]

He should never have shagged that bird in the broom cupboard 🤡

[life on mars]

Wonderful talent , influenced so many, RIP .

[jackrabbit]

Very sad, at a relatively young age too. A truly great musical band - probably my favourites.

The only upside is that we'll probably be treated to some great 'in memorium' programs on BBC Four and Sky Arts, detailing their history, showing their live performances, and generally celebrating their great music. I'll have Sky Plus ready to record as much as possible.

[Lost Johnny]

Totally class band. Introduced Latin rhythms and jazz flavourings into rock along with sarcastic lyrics on society, not many bands were doing that at the time. All the albums they made in the seventies are totally indispensable.

RIP Walter

RIP Great band one of my favourites.

[TH63]

One of my all time favourite tracks https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jzU-0lOZDSw

For me Steely Dan are like a fine wine, I didn't truly appreciate them when I was a teenager, but as I've mellowed with age, I appreciate their talent more, and could, and do, listen to them for hours

[Taunton Blue Genie]

RIP Walter.

Ditto but at the Rainbow. No Zippy or Geoffrey though.

[Zenith]

One of my favourite guitarists ever, a massive inspiration for me and my own playing.
