Just giving the Music Choice Classic Rock cable channel a listen and "Haitian Divorce" spins up. Instant smile song... :)

Start thinking its my fav, then I remember "Reelin' in the Years" then I remember "FM" then... and on and on...

So many good-uns...

If I had to pick one to set atop the heap, I'd have to say "FM".

You?
More later,
Tour...

    The entire Can't Buy a Thrill album. Especially "Do It Again" (My personal favorite), "Dirty Work", "Kings", "Midnight Cruiser" and "Reelin' In The Years".

    "FM". An interesting fact is that it was not on any Steely Dan album other than a "best of" or compilation album. It is of course the title track from the soundtrack FM

    Toss up between Hey Nineteen and Daddy Don't Live In That New York City No More. Truth be known, I could listen to Steely Dan all day.
