Best ten of the Dan

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I'm going to ask you for your 10 favourite songs (in order) by Steely Dan. I thought myself to list this one easily but that wasn't the case. There were too many great songs ! So I sneaked a little as you can see:

1. FM (extended version with long sax solo)
2. Aja
3. The Royal Scam
4. Reelin in the years
5. Deacon Blues
6. Black Friday
7. My old school
8. Your gold teeth (pt.1)
9. Bad sneakers
10. Do it again
10. Gaucho
10. Haitian Divorce
10. Josie
10. The Fez

 And I could go on with many many more. But then I would miss the purpose of the list, so this is it.
What's yours ?
