6. You should get Fagen's and Becker's solo albums, which are great!

Fagen's four solo albums are phenomenal and as good as any Steely Dan music. Becker's two solo albums are also great, although the first one (Eleven Tracks of Whack) is not as easily accessible, but the second one (Circus Money) is easier to "get", and is mostly reggae. Give them a listen!

And don't forget their two latest Steely Dan albums, recorded in 2000 (Two Against Nature, Grammy winner for Album of the Year) and 2003 (Everything Must Go).....both are also GREAT!

Just remember that their music is more complex, with more elements than the usual pop music fare. As such, give them a few listening sessions before judging their worth.
