Happy Birthday Donald Fagen! Whats your favorite song by Steely Dan?

Hiya, Punch :)

my immediate response is "Aja" the title track -- I love the ending with the drums and all that...

it's so rare that a band has so many "Perfect" albums, as Steely Dan does, imo.

When I first started buying CDs, I made sure that the first 6 Dans, were purchased first!!

If I may pick a track from each ? --

Can't Buy a Thrill -- "Reelin' In the Years"

Countdown to Ecstasy -- ""Bodhisattva" (amazing licks!!)

Pretzel Logic -- "Any Major Dude Will Tell You" ( normally, I'd say "Rikki", but I love this song so much!!)

Katy Lied -- "Doctor Wu"

The Royal Scam -- "Green Earrings"

Aja -- "Deacon Blues" (the whole album is unstoppable!!)

Gaucho -- "Glamour Profession"

Two Against Nature -- "Jack of Speed" (strange, how this is the only one to get a "Grammy" nod!!)

Happy Birthday, Donald !! :)

Hi, Punch

I love Steely Dan. Despite all the classic rock fans in R&P I don't see them mentioned much. I listen to Aja and Can't Buy A Thrill often. I am still a child of the 70's. Two of my favorite songs:

"Peg" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkENeuzVtUM

"Black Cow" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS9Ll02CNjU

Besides their band name is from a sex toy.

BQ: when is your birthday? Hmmmmm....I do have a birthday.

BQ2: any musicians share your special day? Yes

East St. Louis Blues Toodleoo instrumental from Pretzol Lodge album by Steely Dan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVxtypNNy6w

my birthday , there is no one famous that insterests me on my birthday with the same day, but my grand daughter does.

Great dedication to a very talented musician. I love Steely Dan. One of my favorites is an old one from Can't Buy A Thrill.

"Do It Again"
