Like most fans I only consider the "real" Steely Dan to have existed for those first 7 albums (although I do own the Two Against Nature CD). I'm a pleasantly surprised to find someone else who rates Countdown to Ecstasy as their best album, and then Katy Lied as their second. My Dan album rankings 1) Countdown to Ecstasy 2) Katy Lied 3) Pretzel Logic 4) Can't Buy a Thrill 5) The Royal Scam 6) Aja (their supposed "masterpiece") 7) Gaucho On_The_Beach wrote: [ Reply ]

coloradojohn Jun 12, 2012 - 20:45	Man, we didn't know how good we had it back in the day...the radio waves SIZZLED with these types of witty, gritty, pithy and ultimately rocking and satisfyingly delicious numbers...AND I LOVE THE FACT THAT IT STILL SOUNDS SO DARNED GOOD! (and thank God, Bill and Rebecca & Co. for RP, doing its best as an ongoing non-greed driven carrier of the Eternal Happening Music Vibe — and doing a fantastic job at it!) [ Reply ]

unclehud Dec 05, 2011 - 08:51	These guys defy music categories. Pop? Yes, a lot. Rock? Yes, a little, Jazz? Yes, a lot. Top 40? Yes, there's that, too. Fusion? I'd argue a few of their tunes fit that. Witty? Almost every one. Classical? Well, no, I guess. Hip-hop? Wasn't invented back then. My daughter was to be named Aja (had sons instead). PS: That's not a photo of Pretzel Logic. [ Reply ]

Yeah, they all have at least 2-3 outstanding cuts. Let's keep this slightly modified High Fidelity exercise going, and rank their top 7 tracks, which will certainly contain at least a half-dozen glaring omissions. Here goes mine: 7) Kid Charlemagne 6) The Caves of Altamira 5) Black Friday 4) Reelin' in the Years 3) Deacon Blues 2) Don't Take Me Alive 1) My Old School Comments again please... [ Reply ]

Gaucho 6. Countdown to Ecstasy 5. Can't Buy a Thrill 4. Katy Lied 3. Pretzel Logic 2. Aja 1. The Royal Scam comments please ... Here's my informal, spur-of-the moment rankings. We have the same #1, but after that our rankings diverge. That's OK, though, because each of their albums is excellent, IMO. 1. The Royal Scam (My fave, a concept album of sorts on the underbelly of the American dream) 2. Katy Lied 3. Countdown to Ecstasy 4. Pretzel Logic 5. Can't Buy a Thrill 6. Gaucho (this album is much maligned, but I enjoy it. Fagen and Becker really polished their jazz-influenced sound down to its bare essence here) 7. Aja (How can I rank this last? I should probably start over!) The fact is, it's pretty much impossible for me to rank their albums, and my list would probably be different if I put it together tomorrow. [ Reply ]
