Steely Dan

With a record whose standout traits are its remarkably live-sounding production and its consistency, the two old foxes have proven once again that even in the 21st century they're still the undisputed masters of jazz rock subtlety

With "Two Against Nature," the two old cats proved that even two decades after their last studio release, they can successfully defy nature's toll on their sensorimotor skills and deliver a fresh, challenging album.

Given the unbelievable hardships the legendary duo faced while making "Gaucho", it's a genuine miracle they closed out the first decade of their career with one more masterpiece, this time truly their last.

"Aja" is the embodiment of the wildest jazz rock dreams the steely duo ever shared, captured at the peak of their creative powers.

With "The Royal Scam," the legendary Steely Dan duo pulled off one of their most magnificent feats, and it still stands proud today like an obelisk of compositional and production perfection.

Despite the nasty studio mishap that seriously rattled the good mood of the steely duo, "Katy Lied" is an excellent transitional album, one that opened a new chapter in the story of this legendary studio project.

“Pretzel Logic” is yet another helping of compositional, instrumental and production polish, cooked up to the one-of-a-kind Steely Dan recipe.

Put on "Contdown to Ecstasy", one of Steely Dan's peaks, and you'll slip into total musical ecstasy in no time.

"Can't Buy a Thrill" is one of the best albums in the history of popular music, made at a time when pop was still the yardstick for compositional and technical polish and walked hand in hand with prog rock.
