In honor of Walter Becker's death, I was wondering what are your favorite Steely Dan songs? |
| KSmyth | 03 Sep 2017 10:08 p.m. PST |
So many great ones. I'd say "Show Biz Kids," "When Josie Comes Home," and "Don't Take Me Alive"for starters. Such a great team. He will be missed. |

"Reelin' in the Years" by far. Skunk Baxter at his best! |
| Texas Jack | 04 Sep 2017 1:10 a.m. PST |
It is really difficult, but I would say Deacon Blues, with Hey 19 and Peg very closely behind. Great band! I was very sorry to read of Beckerīs death. RIP |

"Hey 19", other than that, not really a fan. |
| Pictors Studio | 04 Sep 2017 6:43 a.m. PST |
I love Steely Dan, but my favs are Rikki, Reelin and Dirty Work. |
| skinkmasterreturns | 04 Sep 2017 6:46 a.m. PST |
Another here for Reelin'. |
| BrianW | 04 Sep 2017 6:46 a.m. PST |
If we have to pick just one, then I'm going with "My Old School." |
| Hlaven | 04 Sep 2017 6:57 a.m. PST |
I am with Texas Jack. Deacon Blues and Hey 19. |

Ugh. This one really hurts. Spent hours and hours in high school in my room listening to their albums. When my fiancee and I split she got the LPs I got the CDs. Steely Dan and Elton John were the first two I replaced (thanks Columbia Record Club!). This is like picking a favorite child (though easy for me as I only have one). But I'd start with: Charlie Freak
Pretzel Logic
Doctor Wu
Haitian Divorce Oh dear, I just love all of you equally. |
| Cyrus the Great | 04 Sep 2017 7:30 a.m. PST |
Reelin' in the Years, Rikki don't loose my number and Dirty Work for me. |
| flooglestreet | 04 Sep 2017 8:43 a.m. PST |
Peg, Kid Charlemagne, Josie, Doctor Wu, Rikki dont lose that number. |

Another vote for Reelin' in the Years. Do It Again, Bad Sneakers. |

Too many favorites, cannot pick just one. |
| Bismarck | 04 Sep 2017 2:45 p.m. PST |
Deacon Blues, far and above. Maybe from the time in my life when it was released, some other personal interpretation..or just the song itself. |

Agree with the too many to name one. My Old School or Dirty Work come to mind, only cause they were 2 of Steely Dan's first songs I remember hearing & loved em. GREAT band. They really helped me during the disco fad, but mostly that was Little Feat. But I always loved RIP, Sir. Thanks for all the great music & memories. Damn, why are the good folks dying… |

Tough one. Though I like My Old School, Gaucho, Reelin' in the Years, Chain Ligthning, and Hey 19, and so many others, I'm gonna go with Peg. RIP, Mr. Becker. |
| Tgerritsen | 05 Sep 2017 7:25 p.m. PST |
Do It Again and Reelin In the Years for me. |
| Mardaddy | 06 Sep 2017 8:57 p.m. PST |
Deacon Blues, FM, Hey 19, Do it Again, Reelin in the Years, Peg, too many to choose. Woefully regret never having seen them live. |
