Amazing! Was sitting here doing paperwork listening to Aja when I logged onto TB and saw this thread - guess you know my answer - the entire Aja album is going with me to the desert island

Favorite Steely Dan tunes?

I am 54 years on this earth.

The Pretzel Logic album is my favorite SD album. I remember when it was released and I purchased it as soon as soon as I heard “Do it again”.

That being said, SD musicians are the best. The band members are/were the most technically proficient musicans of their genre. IMHO, SD will be considered the most innovative and smooth group of musicians ever to record music.

Any SD song will make me happy.

The Second Arrangement, FM, Here at the Western World, Josie, Black Cow, Aja, Peg, Babylon Sisters, Third World Man, Gaucho, Everything You Did, The Fez, Kid Charlemagne, Caves of Altamira, Don't Take Me Alive, Bad Sneakers, Dr. Wu, Any Major Dude, Pretzel Logic, Rikki, Night By Night, King of the World, Boston Rag, Your Gold Teeth, Brooklyn, Reelin'.... really, did they write a bad tune?

Even some of the unreleased stuff like The Bear is really freakin' amazing.

Fagen solo is still good but not as good.... Tomorrow's Girls is a good tune, also New Frontier and some of the other Nightfly stuff.

Not really a fan of Becker's solo stuff or his vocal contributions to the Dan.

+1 on "Cousin Dupree". What a greasy groove.

"Two Against Nature" floored me when it first came out. Though there's not a bad Steely Dan album, I really think there is something perfect about this one.

I've been enjoying "The Last Mall" from "Everything Must Go" lately. Very apropos with the Mayan Apocalypse approaching!

Too many favorites to mention but I always liked this live version of Reelin' In The Years with Walter Becker on bass.

Yes, i was going to pipe in that it was "Do It Again"...which, for some reason, I liked the 1st time I heard it (I was 14 in '72 & "Do It Again" was totally different from everything else on my plate). "Reeling In The Years", from the same album, was another winner.

Notice how in-control (relaxed, economy of motion) Denny Dias plays?

I'm with you...I will add "Glamour Profession" (in case no one has).

I have it...not a fan of it, though.
So far, I'm not a fan of Sunken Condos, either.

A fellow low ender and proprietor of Bass Specialties is in a Steely Dan Tribute Band in the Philly area; they're excellent. I've seen them several times. I highly recommend checking them out.

So many great songs... but it's hard to beat "Deacon Blues" and "Rikki Don't Lose that Number." Great band!

P bass with an Ampeg SVT. A classic combination!
