Any best place to start?I would suggest in chronological order, but you won't be disappointed if you go randomly either. i could easily say one should go straight to the Royal Scam (my fav) but Chronological order works just as well. as the first original run to 1980 is flawless in my view.

tangy Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) I don't know 5 songs by them so........ i would not be surprised if you know 5 guitarists that played for the dan. the dan is drug fueled jazzy rock . top notch session players and incredible production. i have heard that AJA by steely dan is the "one "record used to test out very high end stereos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7kduNihACs Edited August 30, 2020 by tangy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think thats a solid suggestion. they were a more of a band early on, then evolved to becker and fagen and the best money could buy.really imo all their records up to AJA are great. little to no filler IMO. Gaucho is real good but not as great. after guacho and after many years they released two against nature. my least fave by them. 2 or 3 good songs. their last record everything must go was better imo. i would wait to pick up 2AN and EMG . my fave from EMG. the mighty godwhacker! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-F3n_G_0O0 Edited August 30, 2020 by tangy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must make the effort and listen to a few of their albums. Any best place to start? Same. I just know the hits and obviously that isn't enough so I will opt out of this one (for now). Reeling and FM are utter classics though so they would HAVE to be in there. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the best production on studio albums ever made. "AJA" is a MASTERPIECE. I saw them live once in Vegas. Steve Winwood opened. It was awesome! RUSH ON BUDDY! I'm doing good! I'm in love dude!! Anything on this Earth is possible if Rushhead can find love during a pandemic! Keep your chin up always!!! There are still a ton of silver linings on the Earth despite the shit we are all going through!! Earl 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than the two reunion dan albums, IMO. Mick I cant agree with that. i definitively prefer 2AN and EMG over sunken condos. i rate fagen solo in the order they were released. nightfly being the best by a long shot, kamkiriad in second then SC. i also rate beckers 11 tracks of whack as good as the nightfly. beckers second release circus money has its moments but in general not as good as 11 tracks of whack. and on that note i leave you donald playing a grateful dead classic...........
