Pros: Greatness in the truest sense of the word, Deaser26 likes Steely Dan

Cons: What?

The Bottom Line: Musical genius is rare, especially these days when anyone who can tune a guitar to drop-D is a star. Check out Steely Dan for the real deal.

Review: This is my entry into the Steely Dan Write-Off graciously hosted by my fellow music freak, Deaser26. Thanks, Dease, for the invite, and I hope I do you proud.

Pros: 4 full CDs of Steely Danness. Pretty much as complete as it gets.

Cons: It ends.

The Bottom Line: Could it be that I have found my holy band?

Review: I owe my father and my friend James big for this one. I may have never dabbled in the world of Steely Dan if it weren't for those two, and never known the joy that is their music. What's that you say? You have no idea who Steely Dan is? Well, that can ...

Pros: A superb retrospective of one of the great musical duos of all time, superbly packaged.

Cons: That's all you get.

The Bottom Line: A nice collection for Steely Dan fans. Have no regrets on purchasing it.

Review: I'd be lying if I said I didn't love this collection. I was prepared to pay $60 for it only it was out of stock at th etime. I then saw it in a record club flyer as another reviewer stated, it came in through the record club at about 1/3 the price. I...

Pros: covers everything a Steely Dan fan wants to hear

Cons: The Live cut of Bodhisattva - not that good.

Review: We have a 5 disc player mainly for this. I must have my Steely Dan. Citzen Steely Dan covers everything up to the newest release Two Against Nature.

Starting with the first songs on disc one, the jazz influence rings through...

Pros: Every album track from the first 7 Dan albums in a four-disc set.

Cons: Almost nothing BUT previously-released material.

The Bottom Line: The ultimate collection of previously-released Dan music, but little new or interesting.

Review: "Citizen Steely Dan" is the answer to the question of how to listen to 8 well-worn Steely Dan albums on a 5-disc changer. (Wait a minute, Godai...didn't you say this set contained _7_ albums?) Well, yes...but I am including the "Decade of Steely Dan"...
