Aja

Aja (1977) more music like this

by Steely Dan

Steely Dan hadn't been a real working band since Pretzel Logic, but with Aja, Walter Becker and Donald Fagen's obsession with sonic detail and fascination with composition reached new heights. A coolly textured and immaculately produced collection of sophisticated jazz-rock, Aja has none of the overt cynicism or self-consciously challenging music ...

Gaucho

Gaucho (1980) more music like this

by Steely Dan

Aja was cool, relaxed, and controlled; it sounded deceptively easy. Its follow-up, Gaucho, while sonically similar, is its polar opposite: a precise and studied record, where all of the seams show. Gaucho essentially replicates the smooth jazz-pop of Aja, but with none of that record's dark, seductive romance or elegant aura. Instead, it's ...

Two Against Nature

Two Against Nature (2000) more music like this

by Steely Dan

Notorious for shunning concert performances, Steely Dan's improbable live reunion in the mid-'90s eventually turned into a full-fledged reunion album. Since Steely Dan fans went two decades without even the hope of a new record, the very prospect was a delight, but it was also a little worrying, since a botched comeback would tarnish the band's ...

The Definitive Collection

The Definitive Collection (2006) more music like this

by Steely Dan

Geffen's 2006 release The Definitive Collection is a mere 16 tracks long, which is a bit short for covering Steely Dan's career. They may not have landed many singles within the Billboard charts -- only 15 between their 1973 debut, Can't Buy a Thrill, and their 2000 comeback, Two Against Nature -- but they had plenty of standards on album rock ...

Can't Buy a Thrill

Can't Buy a Thrill (1972) more music like this

by Steely Dan

Walter Becker and Donald Fagen were remarkable craftsmen from the start, as Steely Dan's debut, Can't Buy a Thrill, illustrates. Each song is tightly constructed, with interlocking chords and gracefully interwoven melodies, buoyed by clever, cryptic lyrics. All of these are hallmarks of Steely Dan's signature sound, but what is most remarkable ...

Pretzel Logic

Pretzel Logic (1974) more music like this

by Steely Dan

Countdown to Ecstasy wasn't half the hit that Can't Buy a Thrill was, and Steely Dan responded by trimming the lengthy instrumental jams that were scattered across Countdown and concentrating on concise songs for Pretzel Logic. While the shorter songs usually indicate a tendency toward pop conventions, that's not the case with Pretzel Logic. ...

Katy Lied

Katy Lied (1975) more music like this

by Steely Dan

Building from the jazz fusion foundation of Pretzel Logic, Steely Dan created an alluringly sophisticated album of jazzy pop with Katy Lied. With this record, Walter Becker and Donald Fagen began relying solely on studio musicians, which is evident from the immaculate sound of the album. Usually, such a studied recording method would drain the ...

The Royal Scam

The Royal Scam (1976) more music like this

by Steely Dan

The Royal Scam is the first Steely Dan record that doesn't exhibit significant musical progress from its predecessor, but that doesn't mean the album is any less interesting. The cynicism that was suppressed on Katy Lied comes roaring to the surface on The Royal Scam -- not only are the lyrics bitter and snide, but the music is terse, broken, and ...

Everything Must Go

Everything Must Go (2003) more music like this

by Steely Dan

When Steely Dan released Two Against Nature in 2000, their first album in 20 years, it was an unexpected gift, since all odds seemed against Donald Fagen and Walter Becker reteaming for nothing more than the occasional project, let alone a full album. As it turned out, the duo was able to pick up where they left off, with Two Against Nature ...

Alive in America (1995) more music like this

by Steely Dan

When Donald Fagen and Walter Becker re-formed Steely Dan in 1994, they didn't put out a new album. They undertook a tour of sports arenas, their first tour since the days of Countdown to Ecstasy. Since Steely Dan became stars after they retired from performing, many of their dedicated fans never got a chance to see the group in concert. Given ...

Citizen Steely Dan (1993) more music like this

by Steely Dan

Collecting all of Steely Dan's albums in chronological order, plus all of their two or three B-sides and one demo in a four-CD box, Citizen Steely Dan is only worthwhile for the fan replacing their old records. The remastering on the box is exactly the same as the newly upgraded CDs, and everything but the demo is available on other discs. ...

Gold (1982) more music like this

by Steely Dan

Donald Fagen and Walter Becker wrote many outstanding light-rock tunes with a somewhat soulful appeal. This compilation album plays host to quite a few of those songs, among them "Hey Nineteen," "Deacon Blues," and Black Cow." The twosome have an uncanny style of conveying their messages in a very overt way without forfeiting the songs' charisma. ...

A Decade of Steely Dan (1985) more music like this

by Steely Dan

A Decade of Steely Dan was one of the first compilations designed for CD, so it was intended to showcase digital sound as much as the music itself. Consequently, it's balanced to showcase at least one song from each of the band's albums, leaving off the compilation such minor hits as "Pretzel Logic," "The Fez," and "Josie." Nevertheless, the songs ...

Countdown to Ecstasy (1973) more music like this

by Steely Dan

Can't Buy a Thrill became an unexpected hit, and as a response, Donald Fagen became the group's full-time lead vocalist, and he and Walter Becker acted like Steely Dan was a rock & roll band for the group's second album, Countdown to Ecstasy. The loud guitars and pronounced backbeat of "Bodhisattva," "Show Biz Kids," and "My Old School" camouflage ...

Piano Jazz: McPartland/Steely Dan (2005) more music like this

by Marian McPartland/Steely Dan

It isn't hard to imagine how some jazz purists will react upon seeing the name Steely Dan on one of Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz releases; they're likely to ask, "What, in God's name, is a pop/rock group doing in McPartland's presence?" But even though Steely Dan isn't a jazz act per se, they have always had jazz influences -- and it would be a ...

Then and Now: The Best of Steely Dan Remastered (1993) more music like this

by Steely Dan

There's a reason why "remastered" is part of the title of Then and Now: The Best of Steely Dan Remastered. Steely Dan's fans are notorious for their love of pristine audio quality; they loved virgin vinyl pressings of the Dan's classic studio work and they loved the CD reissues. So the distinction that this 1993 collection is remastered is ...

Showbiz Kids: The Steely Dan Story 1972-1980 (2000) more music like this

by Steely Dan

There is an audience for the double-disc set Showbiz Kids: The Steely Dan Story 1972-1980, although it may be a small one -- it's a set for listeners who want something a little more extensive than A Decade of Steely Dan or Gold yet don't want to invest in full albums. On that level, it works quite well, since it does have all the chart and radio ...

Android Warehouse (1998) more music like this

by Steely Dan

Steely Dan recorded a large number of demos between 1968-1971 that have since become the fodder for an equally large number of bootleg collections. Most of these collections offer little care in the way of packaging: ugly cover art; minimal, if any, liner notes; and little, if any, information on the songs themselves. Android Warehouse rises ...

Members Edition (2003) more music like this

by Steely Dan

This Members Edition set is nothing more than early studio recordings that have been trotted out a dozen times -- or at least it feels like that -- to the faithful, with hopes for suckering the uninitiated. Dodgy packaging and shoddy presentation belie any real interest, but the price is right because these sets are dirt cheap. Thom Jurek, All ...

Steely Dan mainstays Walter Becker and Donald Fagen are credited as co-compilation producers with Universal Music executive Andy McKaie on the Steely Dan entry in Universal's discount-priced series 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection. It's a rule of thumb: get the artist involved in a compilation, and the choices are bound to be ...
