Okay, so this is interesting. Some would say heretical. But after years of back-breaking research and deliberative repetition, a song-by-song consideration revealed to me today an utterly scientific reckoning of Steely Dan’s output to date. Here they are in order of importance. [Also included is AllMusic's star ranking in parentheses as a point of reference.]
- Aja (4.5)
- Countdown to Ecstasy (5)
- The Royal Scam (3.5)
- Can’t Buy a Thrill (4.5)
- Everything Must Go (3)
- Gaucho (4)
- Katy Lied (5)
- Pretzel Logic (5)
- Two Against Nature (4)
Weird, right?
