Sad indeed ! I'm a soul and reggae head but you know there's The Dan in my collection - enough said :(

[Edward]

Oh dear - yet another of the greats. :(

Currently listening to Circus Money (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circus_Money) - absolutely bloody brilliant.

[Macca]

Gordon 'Halfway Tree' used to know him years ago. Imagine that.

Very sad day, another essential part of my youth gone. :-(
I am hoping the O2 concert goes ahead anyway, as a tribute.

Steely Dan shaped my musical passion and got me through my exams when i was at college. I think i must have known every note of every song. Rest easy Walter and thank you.

Brilliant album, one of my all time favourites.

[RobbieGong]

Agreed, an excellent album. Seems strange the other key man has gone, must be sad and strange for Fagen

Indeed. In that documentary they are effectively finishing each others' sentences. Spooky.
