some of the most unique and exquisite music ever created! Donald's obvious
apathy spoke volumes about the Dan's 'attitude' about the relevance of a
Grammy. I do like those irreverent boys!

AMEN...............although it's ashame their BEST work ("Pretzel Logic",
"Aja", "Katy Lied", "Countdown to Ecstasy") was ignored throughout the
70's......
Steely Dan's story is a LOT like Joni's, their music even sounds similiar in
places.....(they had many of the same musicians) It's funny how one of
their masterpieces "Katy Lied" was critically slammed in 1975 by none other
than the infamous Rolling Stone as well as countless other magazines, and is
now regarded as one of their best albums...... This eerily sounds
familiar.... :)
I'm not as crazy about "Two Against Nature" as I am about their mid 70's
stuff.......If there are any Dan-curious Joni fans out there, I'd highly
recommend:
"Pretzel Logic" and or "Katy Lied" ...............it's GREAT stuff.....
