Frank Zappa said, "Jazz isn’t dead, it just smells funny." For those folks that can’t get a grip on jazz, The Dan delivers the goods with an admixture replete with R&B, Afro Cuban rhythms, Rock&Roll, etc that seduces the listeners to succumb to the gravity of jazz, like tides obey the moon. One becomes a lover of jazz without knowing it. Like those that don’t care for classical music, but have been moved to tears by it when watching those movies that employ the classical as soundtracks.

Steely Dan is the probably the best bands of all time. They meshed and spanned Jazz/Soul/Rock Fusion with some of the greatest players of the day in the studio. There is barely a song that you will skip on any of their albums. They are timeless, and got regular play on the radio when they came out and for decades and are still covered by Big Bands, funk bands, jazz bands, rock and acoustic players.

Every Album, every song. There are no bad Steely Dan songs. Some maybe better than others (personal taste) but there are no bad ones. I'm 73 and been listening to every album since the first constantly, and still finding something new in the mix. I never get tired of them. There are bands that can do a very decent job of covering them, but nobody can create like them.

This album is named as one of the best mastered albums ever by mastering engineers, and one of the top references for mixes. Pretty much their own sound - both the music and the lyrics. Genre?

I purchased the Aja album when it first came out. I played it to death BUT I still have that same album, and it sounds great because some of us treated our records like gold... carefully handling them, keeping the turntable stylus balanced and in pristine shape, cleaning the vinyl with special cloth, etc.. We were crazy about our vinyl collection. I'm proud to say my collection is amazing. That album cover is also so evocative of the title song! It always transported me to another beautiful, exotic place. Greetings from Brooklyn!

Steely Dan is Donald Fagen and Walter Becker ~ if you look at the info on the musicians playing, they'll be different for every song. They recruited only the best musicians to play with them, They are my favorite band of all time. I was very fortunate to see them in 1972 in Chicago, I was 16. They were not the headliner ~ they opened for the band, The Guess Who. There are no bad Steely Dan songs ~ enjoy!
