I pretty much grew up with this album. It was a favourite of my sister and my best friend’s brother as well. When I hear this album I think of riding in the back of Don’s (my sisters boyfriend) Chevy Malibu with this on the 8-track as we go to the Tastee-Freez for shakes and ice cream.
A lot of people probably come to it via the classic rock radio angle, with Get It On etc. But what elevates the album are songs like Cosmic Dancer.
5/5 for me

'Bang a Gong (Get It on)' is alright.

This is incredibly disrespectful to circus clowns.

Sympathies. Working with deeply creepy people that fill you with a sense of dread can’t be easy.

Why isn’t Jeepster available on the regular version on Apple?

That is so bizarre. You can listen to it on the expanded version but not the standard version.

Reading up on Electric Warrior has made me dig it some more, by the end of the weekend I was pretty much feeling it. However, not really ready to write about it. Giving it a 4, could definitely see it being a 5 one day.

scores updated. Aretha still the top, Casanova still the worst.

Steely Dan - Can't Buy a Thrill
It's all downhill after "Do It Again."
Throw in recycle bin.
Rating: 1/5 [Awful]
Made the effort to post this on the last full day of vacation, no less.

interesting, the most Steely Dan song on the album is the high point?

No love for "Dirty Work"?

I will say that I much prefer Fagen's vocals to the dude they hired for this album.

I celebrate their entire catalogue.
This album is my third or fourth favorite SD album. I tend to prefer Aja and Gaucho but this and Pretzel Logic are both phenomenal within their own way. The earlier albums were closer to straight ahead 70s AM rock. I get people don’t enjoy their later jazz-rock fusion albums but their earlier albums only flirt with that sound.
How many SD albums made the list? I’ve seen Aja and Can’t Buy A Thrill but I would assume Pretzel Logic made it and wouldn’t be surprised if maybe another one or two were included as well?
