Steely Dan - Your Top Five Tunes

[Freebird]

Glad to see a bunch of Steely Dan fans. Probably top three of my all time favorites. Was so sad to hear the news. Had always planned to see them live even though they were more of a studio band.
Thanks to the box set CDs I bought way back in high school I'm pretty sure I know every word to every song.
I haven't mourned the loss of a musician this much since SRV was killed.

I've only grown a true appreciation for Steely Dan within the last 5 years or so, and now I'd rank them right up there with my favorite bands ever. Such amazing musicians. Just a few of my favorites in no particular order.....

Kid Charlemagne
Peg (probably my favorite)
Josie
My Old School
Hey Nineteen
Babylon Sisters

If you have time and are amazed at the musicianship of some people, watch these sometime...

"Do It Again"
"Dirty Work"
"Black Friday"
"Deacon Blues"
"Kid Charlemagne"

This is my "other" five but would replace Dirty Work (which I mentioned) with Josie.

 

[Bewilderme]

While we're talking about Peg...hahahah. Michael McDonald's lyrics crack me up everytime!

 

[TOFB4ISU]

Usually the one I am listening to at the moment.

I mean how does one not like 'Do It Again'. Its a much different song but on the level of a Gimme Shelter/The Chain in terms of execution.

Obviously a ton of fans but still feel they are unkown to the masses for how solid they were as a group.

 

[Cycsk]

Lately my No. 1 has been Time out of Mind.

It's perfection and grace

It's the smile on Coach Campbell's face

It has been far too long since I have listened to Time out of Mind. Great song.

Like that because Mark Knopfler sits in on that one

 

[MilehighClone]

Add Babylon Sisters and Third World Man to the list.

37-24 Clones!

 

[Freebird]

Like that because Mark Knopfler sits in on that one

And Dire Straights is another of my favorites so double cool.

All Dan Fans should check out the Gaucho/Katy lied outtakes on YouTube. The stuff they threw out is better than 99% of the **** out there.

 

[Farnsworth]

Not old enough to have any thoughts on this thread, but listening to some Steely Dan on Spotify, so I thank you all for that.

They used Reelin' In The Years for bumper music on TNF last night. Been hearing a lot of SD on morning shows and late night talk shows. Nice tributes to Becker.
