Any Major Dude Will Tell You: A Dizzying Travel Through the Steely Dan Discography

I've only heard 2 SD albums. PL & Aja and a best of...I love virtually every song but for some reason I don't feel like listening to anymore. I find them a bit too cool for school.

Countdown To Ecstasy's one of a number of Steely Dan album's I don't yet have. I've had it recommended to me a few times before though, so I think this has just pushed it up a place or two on my priorities list. Very good review again sir

As it happens I've heard of a few of these songs before (Bodhisattva, Your Gold Teeth and King Of the World), and I do remember them being pretty awesome.

Can't wait for your thoughts on the Dan's 21st century albums as well. Both are albums I've heard very good things about and haev as such been meaning to get hold of for years, but simply can't find anywhere.

Is it just me or does Steely Dan have some of the worst album covers...

Well I love most of them. How anyone could hate Can't Buy A Thrill, The Royal Scam, Aja or Everything Must Go is beyond me. Not to say I don't enjoy the rest.

But it really is a damn shame I lost ~1000 words on the first half of Pretzel Logic when my computer died, especially since brain has been bugging me to finish this thread for about a month. Maybe soon.

I like everything on the album Pretzel Logic, but there are three singles I like more so than the others. Any Major Dude Will Tell You, Pretzel Logic, and the one song that stands out more than all the others, Monkey In Your Soul. I like the distortion/fuzz effects on the bass guitar, it gives the song a 60s rock vibe to it. Looking forward to your review.
