A Decade of Steely Dan review

Steely Dan's compilation A Decade of Steely Dan is a fantastic collection of songs from their first seven albums, Can't Buy a Thrill through Gaucho.  This album gives a nearly perfect overview of Steely Dan's music and if you are want a one album snapshot this is it.  Sure one can argue this song or that song was left off.  They grabbed two great songs from each album, except The Royal Scam has only one song representing it; also included is the track "FM" from the film by the same name.  

 A Decade of Steely Dan is about as good as one disc could be.  by Barry Small ©
