I agree with your ranking until the top 4: I disagree with your assessment there.
Steely Dan Albums Ranked from Worst to Best Becker passed away in 2017 – Fagen has continued to tour as Steely Dan, but it seems safe to assume that their studio catalogue is complete.ĭonald Fagen’s first solo album, 1982’s The Nightfly, is also excellent and would rank highly on this list if it was eligible. Steely Dan’s 21st-century records are enjoyable, but their best work came in the 1970s. Two Against Nature infamously beat Eminem and Radiohead for 2001’s Album of the Year Grammy. Steely Dan’s dark humor skewered 1970s American culture, but their elegant arrangements ensured that they enjoyed commercial success.īecker and Fagen went their separate ways after 1980’s Gaucho but reunited in the 1990s, releasing two further albums in the 21st century. They started the decade as a self-contained rock band and ended as the duo of Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, supported by a revolving cast of session musicians. Steely Dan were major album artists of the 1970s, releasing a string of quality records that blurred the lines between rock and jazz.
