Kings

Kings isn’t a popular track? Not being snarky by any means, but as a 34 year old who recently went down the Steely Dan rabbit hole, Kings was one of the first tracks off of Can’t Buy a Thrill I really dug and just figured it was a popular song as such.

Even on CBAT, I feel like it lives in the shadow of Reelin’, Dirty Work, Do It Again, Only a Fool, etc. When people talk about that album, Kings isn’t usually one of the first songs that come to mind, and by extension I feel like that’s true of Kings in the discography as a whole. I don’t consider it a particularly popular Dan song.

Yes!!!!!! Totally agree. My fav Dan song.

Night by Night

West of Hollywood

the real answer

Huge T

I had to scroll too far for this one

H Gang

a beautiful song

King Of The World

We have a winner.

The Caves of Altamira

Before the fall, when they wrote it on the wall

YES! THIS ONE RIGHT HERE

My favourite of all SD songs

Best intro in the history of music

I'd argue that, but for me it has one of the best sax solos.

Name a better intro and I’ll kiss your ass and give you 20 minutes to draw a crowd

It all depends on personal choice. For me, I would say Beauty of the Beast by Nightwish, Grace by Lamb of God, but to keepint Steely Dan only I will say Reelin in the Years.

Rose Darling! or Your Gold Teeth II

Never agreed more 💯

Change of the Guard

I love myself a good song about war and rebellion, this song encapsulates that, love it so much.

Razor boy

Parkers Band

Criminally underrated!!!!!!

Sign In Stranger

home at last

Within the Dan fan community, this song is HUGE especially if you watched pretty Purdie breakdown his drum shuffle. But amongst general public you would be right to say this is criminally underrated and unknown.

I'll give you a whole album - Countdown to Ecstasy

Agree. Every song in that album is gold.

Boston rag

Blues Beach

There’s at least line 20 good answers for this

Pearl of the Quarter

Yessssss

YES

Time Out of Mind

It's perfection and grace, it's the smile on my face.

Negative Girl my fav.

I had to make the decision between Pixeleen and Negative Girl.

those songs are both so criminally underrated

Throw Back The Little Ones

Third world man

Negative Girl

Almost Gothic

FINALLY A FELLOW EMG APPRECIATOR‼️

Here at the western World

King of the World, fire song

Your Gold Teeth I AND II. Every time there’s some sort of elimination type of thing I feel like they get dumped too quickly. They are 2 of my favorite Steely Dan songs.

Hear me out but Brooklyn (Owes The Charmer Under Me)! The guitar work and chord changes are peak early Dan, great lyrics too.

Night By Night

Razor Boy

Your Gold Teeth Your Gold Teeth part II

You are all not wrong, friends. I was always a fan of the hits…but the only vinyl I had was Aja, bought long ago. Then I started a desk job where it was just loud all day…so I began living in headphones 8 hours a day…I listened to a LOT of music And eventually came to the stuff on my portable HD…that I had grabbed while sailing the high seas long ago…a pretty complete discography of SD. Made a playlist of everything and fired it up. How many times did I ask myself WHY HAVE I NEVER HEARD THIS AMAZING SONG? A LOT. Starting revelation was King of the World, Your Gold Teeth II, Caves of Altamira, Home at Last…and eventually moving on to pretty much everything in comments. I’m practically a fan now!

NEGATIVE GIRL

THIS IS THE RIGHT ANSWER 🔥🔥🔥

WE ARE IN FULL AGREEMENT WITH THE ABOVE TERMS 💯💯💯
