Another one for Don't take me alive....... Everything off Aja is trite and boring to me...... Just my opinion.... |
Every single one of them and what Fagen as put out as a solo artist too.
I just can't pick one. It would be like, which of your child do you like best. |
Show business kids making movies of themselves you know they don't give a f*ck about anyobody else |
OK: Let's see "Don't take me alive", (2) goners say Larry Carlton provided the incredible riffs on this song, Was it not Jeff "Skunk" Baxter? |
|
Old favorite was "Aja." New favorite "Babylon Sisters." |
There is a terrific version of "Pretzel Logic" on the cd "New York Rock and Soul Revue, Live at the Beacon", which has Michael McDonald singing. Others on that cd are Donald Fagen,Phoebe Snow,Boz Scaggs,Charles Brown. The cd is on the Giant/Warner Bros label.--Mrmitch |
Can't name just one, but I love "Brooklyn" from Can't Buy a Thrill and "Deacon Blues" and "Aja" and "Doctor Wu" and....the list goes on and on. |
|
I agree with Abucktwoeighty... |
"Haitian Divorce" from their masterpiece The Royal Scam. |
Caves of Altamira
"Before the fall, When they wrote it on the wall"
"When there wasn't even any Hollywood"
"Before the the fall, they wrote it on the wall"
"For you and me to be understood" |
Having a hard time nailing down my favorite LP. One song???? |
"Sing in Stranger", "The Royal Scam" or "Monkey in Your Soul". |
Seems to be whichever SD tune I have on. |
I can't get it down to one, or even ten.
Your Gold Teeth II,
Monkey in Your Soul,
and Chain Lightning
are three that I'm hoping will be in the queue whereever forever happens to be. |
"King of the World" (especially the opening bass line) and "Green Earrings". |
Dirty Work and Midnight Cruiser. I saw them last April. They didn't play either. |
|
".....They call Alabama the Crimson Tide....."
I just love Deacon Blues. |

Although I voted for Pretzel Logic (esp the live version w/Michael mcDonald), "Don't take Me Alive" is absolutely awesome.
First heard it when my wife and I took a day off and was walking through a mall. A record store was playing the track - bought it on the spot. One of their best albums and a heavy dose of larry Carlton on the album. |
another one for 'do it again'. |
Cfchew have you heard the Minutemen do Doctor Wu? |
Don't Take Me Alive. Larry Carlton smokes on that one...
I can't believe I'm the first one to mention this track. |
I keep listening over and over to:
Doctor Wu
Aja
Rikki Don't Lose That Number
IGY (Donald Fagen) |
tie between: chain lightning & dirty work.
honorable mentions: kid charlemagne, black cow & boston rag. |
I agree 100% with all of you. There has never been any band (or duo) that has produced a more consistent or better soundtrack for my entire adult life that wears nearly so well. Standouts: Bad Sneakers, Katy Lied, Any Major Dude, Kid Charlemagne, Charlie Freak, Hey Nineteen, Third World Man... and don't forget the cross-bread solo efforts The Nightfly, Eleven Track of Whack, and Kamakiriad... Don't make me choose. Kill me instead while the earphones are on... |

Too many good ones to rate like that, just sit back and enjoy the music. Enjoyed the engaging chat with you. Later. |
|
Any song off of any album. How's that for decisive?
OK, if I had to pick just one tune, it would be Kid Charlemagne. |
Another vote for "Do It Again". |
Almost Gothic - 2AN
Negative Girl -2AN
Fire in the Hole - Can't Buy a Thrill
There are too many great tunes to choose from.... |
Anything off of the first four albums. (After which, the descent into hell began...) |
I couldn't believe no one mentioned "Ricky Don't Lose That Number". |
|
"Only A Fool Would Say That"
or
"Babylon Sisters" |
Peg, from Aja
Any Major Dude Will Tell You, from Pretzel Logic
Kid Charlemagne, Don't Take Me Alive and The Royl Scam, From The Royal Scam
Do it Again and Reelin' In the Years, from Can't Buy a Thrill
Enjoy,
TIC |
"Throw Back The Little Ones."
Is there a more perfect album than Pretzel Logic? I remember buying that album when it was released and thinking it was the perfect pop album. Pop may not be the correct word but the rightness of the sound is amazing. |
This is it, You Gotta Walk It Like You Talk It. |
Has anyone heard the album they made before they were Steely Dan ? I think it was walk the walk if you talk the talk. I'm not sure if that is the exact title of the album but close if not. I found it at a second hand store on 8 track like 20 yrs ago. |
Cousin Dupree
I find myself listening to Two Against Nature a great deal |
Reelin' In The Years, unless one of about two dozen of their other tunes is playing..... |
Hey Ninteen and Bad sneakers |
The surreal quality of Aja always gets me. |
Deacon Blues...a true classic! |
