I have been a Steely Dan fan for a long, long time. This particular CD is an excellent collection where it seems they have picked several selections from most every album they have released from the beginning. They have done a very good job picking many of the songs that are my favorites. One of the things about Steely Dan that is unique is that I never get sick of hearing their music. That is rare for me because when I like something, I tend to listen to it over and over and over until eventually, I have had my fill and I stop. I have listened to Steely Dan over and over and over, and I still love to play them. There is no one else like them. Before they recorded in the studio, Walter Becker (guitar, vocals) & Donald Fagin (keyboards, lead vocal), would painstakingly choose every musician to get just the sound they were going for. All I can say is it was worth it! My favorites are "Any Major Dude Will Tell You," "Doctor Wu," Any World That I'm Welcome To," "Don't Take Me Alive" (you HAVE to hear the drums; absolute heaven), "Haitian Divorce," "Here at the Western World," and probably my favorite favorite, "Josie." This is the perfect collection for anyone brand new to their music as well as existing fans. There is no other group that consistently combines original and exceptional pop/jazz music with intelligent (though often obscure) lyrics. Don't hesitate; definitely get this 2-CD set and leave it on your CD player indefinitely!Read full review
