    Awesome guys, a Steely Dan thread!! I've been a huge Dan fan since high school, got all the SD albums and Donald Fagen's solo work too. Still working on finding Walter Becker's stuff though...

    Anyway, to pick a favorite Dan song is like being asked what the best razor or hone is (hey, this is SRP), I just don't think I could narrow it down to one or two. But a few of my favs, at random:

    Early days:
    -Do It Again
    -Reelin in the Years
    -Fire in the Hole
    -Bodhisattva
    -My Old School
    -The Boston Rag

    Middle Years:
    -Pretzel Logic
    -Black Friday
    -Bad Sneakers
    -Kid Charlamagne
    -Sign in Stranger
    -Haitian Divorce

    Post Aja:
    -Black Cow
    -Aja
    -Home at Last
    -Deacon Blues
    -Babylon Sisters
    -Hey Nineteen

    Post Reunion:
    -Gaslighting Abbie
    -Two against Nature
    -Cousin Dupree
    -Things I Miss the Most

    Very true. Becker and Fagen are master craftsmen in songwriting, it's pretty hard to pick a stinker out of the lot. I prefer to think that there are some songs I like more than others.....

    Reelin' is just a classic piece of 70's Rock. I like Peg and Josie a bunch also. But then I like all their music.

    I was just re-reading my list and I can't believe I missed one of my all time favs: "Don't Take Me Alive" from the album The Royal Scam. It's a very underrated SD song, crunchy guitar rock at its finest, and for some reason you never hear it on the radio.

    Just as a side note - this song was 1 out of a small handful that Becker and Fagen didn't even play on. They were well into their studio musician band phase and felt that they couldn't add anything to the song that the session players hadn't done already. Fagen sang the vocals and that was it.
