The Dan made a fine art of overproduction - Aja is exhibit A - and, imvho, the band's finest, most complete work. Jazz that almost made it out of the classic rawk closet.

Scurrilous, and not in this house thankyou. You might as well say Kamakyriad is up there too, which it's not. Nightfly was sublime, but as a Fagen work. In fact, whilst Becker produced Kamakyriad, he had nothing to do with Nightfly. So.

This is the bit where I have to point out that MrsP gets the Dan muddled up with Hall and Oates...

In the 70s, that sort of thing was an everyday occurrence.
