I find side one of The Royal Scam far stronger than side two; "Kid Charlemagne"/"The Caves of Altamira"/"Don't Take Me Alive" are all supreme SD. I still hate myself for leaving "Altamira" off the ballot.

I don't know if "Don't Take Me Alive" is good or if I remember it b/c it has a hook.

It was a picture he made for Halloween with the caption
Halloween Week: STEELY DAN There’s nothing so terrifying as how smooth they sound.

i did make a mistake, right order and everything however Can't Buy a Thrill had 1063 points with only 1 number one vote. i was drinking last night.
― Bee OK, Thursday, 3 April 2014 16:13 (twelve years ago)
i love the royal scam too. and can't buy a thrill. i actually placed them in the places they ended up in, but on another day they could have finished much higher for me. like i said before, my favorite steely dan album depends on my mood and sometimes the weather or how good or bad the party i went to the night before.

from Becker's wikipedia, it appears that many difficult things occurred between 1978 and 1980.

The closest digit doesn't look like a thumb, which is what it would be if it were Baxter's hand.
