Would someone like to recommend a first Steely Dan album?

[Eurythmic]

I'm familiar with the couple of pop hits, but I've never really had an inclination to go out and buy a Steely Dan album. The fact that they're referenced constantly on this forum really has me curious.

Say I'm in a record store, and I'm in the mood to pop my Steely Dan cherry. What's a good album to start with?

The Royal Scam
Katy Lied
Aja
This is good stuff

Aja

Yup, Aja.......

 

[Blue Bear Sound]

Aja...

 

[dachay2tnr]

Royal Scam
Aja
Goucho

In that order.

Aja's probably the best produced, but Royal Scam's got the best song's.
