Hey Syn and happy Friday. I'm stoked to see that Steely Dan is an AOTM. I heard Jimmy Page say that "Reelin' in the Years" was his favorite rock solo and that was all the endorsement I needed to give Steely Dan a shot years ago. This is the first time I'm hearing this album in it's entirety. Before I had only heard the singles. I love the mixture of jazz and funk. It has a very eclectic feel with many different rhythms, tempo, and key changes going on and it keeps you on your toes. Keeps you guessing what's coming next. It's just so groovy and I've always loved that kind of sound. I think my favorite song off this album is "Green Earrings". When I was a kid I would pick through my parents record collection and I always gravitated towards groups like Steve Miller, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Allman Brothers, Earth, Wind, and Fire and I played Supertramps "Crime of the Century" to the point that even my dad got sick of it. So it's no surprise that I also like Steely Dan. Love ya Syn.
