Yes, Steely Dan’s Gaucho (1980) is considered a successful album, both commercially and critically, despite being famously difficult to produce. It is regarded as a high-fidelity masterpiece and a defining album of the "yacht rock" era. [1, 2, 3] Commercial and Critical Success
- Chart Performance: The album reached #9 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart.
- Sales: It was certified Platinum, selling over 1 million copies.
- Hit Singles: The lead single, "Hey Nineteen," was a major hit, peaking at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100.
- Awards: Gaucho won the 1982 Grammy Award for Best Engineered Non-Classical Recording.
- Critical Acclaim: Despite the tumultuous production, it was lauded by many, including The New York Times, which named it the best album of 1980. [1, 2, 3, 4]
The album's success is often highlighted by the extreme measures taken to create it: [1]
- Production Hurdles: The album took over two years to record, involving over 42 different musicians.
- Personal Drama: Recording was interrupted by Walter Becker being hit by a car and the death of his girlfriend.
- Technological Advancement: The band used a custom-built percussion sequencer nicknamed "Wendel" to achieve sonic perfection, for which the machine was later presented with its own platinum plaque. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
