Steely Dan "King of the World"

 

Played almost in double-time compared to the studio version, there is reason why Fagan says..."This next song scares me half to death" before they launch into this nuggett off the their album 'Countdown to Ecstacy' released in 1973. 2 Drummers, 2 Guitars, 2 Keyboardists...what else do ya need? The solo's and especially the synth line in this song make it one of my all-time favorite tracks of all time. Which is described as "...a tale of terror and loathing in the far flung future...it's called King of the World"
