You’re gonna love this journey! The rabbit hole is deep and you will not find a bad song! “Aja” or “Deacon Blues” would be good for your next Steely Dan listen. Definitely give it the hype button! 🌺✌️

I was born the year this came out and by the time i could walk n talk my mom says I would cruise around the house singin this at 2 years old. From the time i heard this with baby ears on it grabbed my ear and still hasn't let go. I swear the best test to see if a song is good is to play it front of a young baby that hasn't had any experiences.When they naturally start groovin and movin you know you got a hit song on your hands.

HIT THAT HYPE BUTTON 🔥Yes!! Now you see why they are my FAVORITE music 💖 And yes, I know Sade; my fave is "Nothing Can Come Between Us"; she is smooth as hell. HAVE to go down the Steely Dan Rabbit Hole; they have a lot of variety in their songs to the extent that some songs are more jazz-infused, some are slower tempo, ALL are great. I recommend "Caves of Altamira" or "Babylon Sister" for the slower pace, and "Rikki Don't Lose that Number" or "AJA" for the Jazz twist. They were heavily influenced by Jazz-the GREAT Mr. Horace Silver from Cape Verde, Africa especially.

Steely Dan are more than a "rabbit hole" - they are a mine shaft, with multiple side tunnels. Once you're in, you'll never want to get out....rock, jazz, funk, prog, blues, fusion...you'll never know what's coming, but it will be GOOD. Lots of good suggestions below, but here are a few more: "Kid Charlemagne", "The Royal Scam", "Green Earrings", "Dr. Wu", "Don't Take Me Alive", "Aja", Pretzel Logic", "Midnight Cruiser", and MANY more. Never a dull moment.
