    In light of the resent chatter about Steely Dan, maybe it's time for an album poll? Listed are their ten regular main albums (as listed by allmusic.com).

    Please vote for your three ( 3 ) favourite Steely Dan albums!

    Comments and discussions are of course welcome! :wave:

    (I'll have to hold off on my own votes for a bit, as I'm having a little trouble deciding on my 3rd choice.)

    Aja and The Royal Scam were my "fer sure" choices. The number three spot was tougher--a tie among Gaucho, Katy Lied, and Pretzel Logic. I had to go with Gaucho, though.

    What about You've Got To Walk It Like You Talk It?

    I love them all, but these three the very best. Can't Buy A Thrill is very high up there as well.

    Didn't take too long to confirm my initial feelings about which to pick as #3:
    • Aja
    • Gaucho
    • The Royal Scam

    By how much will Aja win?

    I picked Aja, Katy Lied, and Countdown to Ecstasy. But the ones before and in-between are quite good as well.

    Per my post on that 'other thread'...

    Countdown

    Royal Scam

    Aja


    :cheers:

    PS: I just don't 'get' Katy Lied, I know it is highly respected, and amongst hardcore fans a fave, but it just doens't resonate with me, what am I missing?

    Pretzel

    In that order, though "Aja" and "Katy" are far and away #s 1 and 2 - "Pretzel" is a distant 3rd...

    A Dan At The Races...

    Interesting, 88 posts and counting in less than an hour... some serious Dan fans here. It would appear that the first six are all highly regarded and who knows if any of them can catch Aja for the top spot... 2nd and 3rd look to be hotly contested as well... not bad for a couple of guys from Brooklyn... ;)

    Aja, Can't Buy A Thrill, then Gaucho (actually Gaucho could be replaced by any of the other early albums).

    Why did Katy Lie?

    Is their no chilvarous soul willing to defend Katy Lied's honor...

    I say she is a tart in a grasshopper mask... all bluff, not meat...

    what say ye?

    Is she sum cumplex sister this simple man Kant understand?

    I do dig Daddy Don't Live in NYC Anymo' though...

    and Black Friday rocks, if somewhat overplayed in my lifetime...


    cheers,
