I love the Pretzel Logic - Katy Lied period. Royal Scam is interesting because it’s transitional to the Aja - Gaucho material.

But it is all stellar. I can and have listened to Pretzel Logic repeatedly.

nostr:npub1hzlwh2kpl6j9azg8554k66jhwpejsfm09uqqwxw7rjlzpvael6qqfmk8l6 Honestly, I'm hard-pressed to find a Steely Dan album that I *don't* like. It's just a whole lot of A-/A/A+ albums...

Interesting, though - I'd actually put Royal Scam closer to Pretzel Logic and Katy Lied than Aja...or maybe as a "rock" intermission between the jazzier Katy Lied and Aja.

I would agree. The guitar centric tunes on Royal Scam lean a bit closer to Katy Lied. But, to me, there’s a certain polish that foreshadows Aja.

Might just be hindsight. You’re right. They are all grade A albums. I wouldn’t say Aja is my favorite, but I would say it’s a perfect album.
