haven't listened to them much, but when i've spun some of their records, i've enjoyed some of the ones i've never heard on the radio.... so i think there are more than 3 possible answers

As the biggest Steely Dan fan on TWW, I'm proud to put this discussion to rest

"Hey Nineteen" is probably the catchiest tune
"Black Cow" may have the best beat
"My Old School" is my favorite mainstream song
However, my favorite all-time song and a completely unheralded song, is "Dirty Work"

12/31/2014 1:50:17 PM

my favorite is also Dirty Work but I also really like Deacon Blues as well.

12/31/2014 2:11:16 PM

coincidentally, I'm also the biggest Michael McDonald fan on TWW, so any track that features his sweet, sweet voice is A-OK by me as well

12/31/2014 2:18:33 PM

Wow.. yall like the softer side of steely dan.....

12/31/2014 2:24:04 PM

as opposed to their hard-rockin' power stadium anthems?

12/31/2014 2:30:41 PM

Babylon Sisters or Deacon Blues

12/31/2014 2:33:51 PM

Lol none are powerful really but wow i was expecting something that maybe had a darker tone to the music or something...


I dunno but reelin in the years and do it again fit my pallet a lot better but it's just what i grew up on.

I had to do a double take when I saw who made this thread

not at all who I expected

12/31/2014 5:47:33 PM

12/31/2014 6:10:00 PM

Dirty Work used to be my favorite

but the correct answer to this question is Hey Nineteen

3/23/2018 12:51:59 PM

I really get into Peg and Dirty Work.. also Do it Again which i thought was Santana for the longest time.

3/24/2018 3:36:08 PM

^
Lol, for the longest time I thought "Evil Ways" was Steely Dan.

3/24/2018 4:48:27 PM

I don't care much for Dirty Work. Fagen > Palmer. I don't even really consider it a Steely Dan song.

3/24/2018 5:33:04 PM

also, might not be my favorite, but didn't see it in the thread, so Bodhisattva

3/24/2018 5:45:19 PM

^^^Yep that's the one that did it for me too . thats pretty wild

Been on a Steely Dan kick lately.

Really digging Caves of Altamira, Kid Charlemagne(trying to learn the solo to this), Only a fool would say that, bad sneakers, Peg, Deacon Blues(the Steely Dan of Steely Dan songs), and Black Cow.

Any other gems I need to pull?

update: Home at Last is a banger

Rikki Don't Lose That Number?

11/11/2022 7:11:08 PM

Don't Take Me Alive is the only Steely Dan song I like, which is weird because I believe Jeff Porcaro to be one of the greatest drummers.

11/12/2022 11:48:13 PM

Fun fact. I work with a guy named Danny Steele. True story!

Well, it may not be fun, but it's a fact!

11/13/2022 8:42:09 AM

Several good ones in here, but how has Reeling In the Years not been mentioned?
