I agree with this list.

Gaucho is next to last. And this song does not ring my bells.

“Gaucho is next to last.”

Next to last among Steely Dan fans, perhaps, but second to none among Yacht Rock fans.

I have to say, while a big SD fan, I hated the song “Hey 19” from Gaucho. Because when it came out, I was 19 and dating a 29-year-old who thought the lyrics were hysterical and he kept telling me “Hey, nineteen, That’s ‘Retha Franklin, She don’t remember the Queen of Soul”.

But I did know who she was and knew most of her songs owing in big part to having a much older brother who introduced me to a lot of music, of all genres – soul, Motown, Jazz, Rock, Progressive Rock, and even show tunes and movie soundtracks from the 60’s and early 70’s and lots of classical music too.

The thing was I probably knew a lot more about music from the 60’s and 70’s than he did.
