Pick a band, any band. Then pick 12-15 songs of theirs that you'd make a greatest hits album out of, if you were able to produce it.

STEELY DAN

1. Aja
2. Third World Man
3. Gaucho
4. The Royal Scam
5. Pretzel Logic
6. Doctor Wu
7. Daddy Don't Live in That New York City No More
8. Don't Take Me Alive
9. Through With Buzz
10. Monkey in Your Soul
11. Any Major Dude Will Tell You
12. Dirty Work
13. Pearl of the Quarter
14. Haitian Divorce
15. Chain Lightning


Most people only know Steely Dan from the three songs they play on the radio over and over: "Reelin' in the Years," "Do It Again," and "Rikki Don't Lose That Number." But their best work, IMHO, is the fifteen songs listed here.

"Do It Again" brings me back into some memory that might have been a dream, or a composite of my entire childhood. It makes me warm.

I don't think I know too many of the songs you've listed for the top fifteen. I'll have to borrow my mom's albums and give them a whirl
