Steely Dan, 'FM'

one of my fave Dan tracks was almost impossible to find for years bc it was only available on the FM soundtrack which was way out of print- we were eventually rescued by the release of the greatest hits package 'a decade of Steely Dan' and now of course it's just right there on Youtube

@ancient_catbus A while back I was asked my favorite Steely Dan song and I stammered my way to this — which I still stand by — but in doing so, realized there's no good answer to that question, only what kind of weirdo you want to be labeled as.

@BramMeehan it's an unanswerable question, too many right answers and it changes with my mood lol

this one is definitely S Tier tho
