I can't help myself, I'm a sucker for almost anything from Steely Dan (or Donald Fagen).  I can feel my wallet getting lighter already.

If I have to listen to one more audiophile reference album in my vinyl collection like any Steely Dan, please retire me to the funny farm. That's exactly why I am getting so involved in streaming, so I can make new discoveries every single day. Life is too short for listening to the same albums over and over. It sounds so much like the audiophile type with a 12 reference albums collection and experiencing the greatest sound ever. How boring. But I get it, to each his own.

I was guessing: Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Rolling Stones.

I had two copies of One-step "Nightfly" and didn't listen once because they were 45 RPM. To me, you buy 45's to A: Copy to Reel-to-Reel tape, B: Play to dazzle your friends, C: Invest. Who want to get up every ten minutes to turn over the record? My understanding is that 45s were chosen for production to avoid the enormous licensing fee for a 33 1/3 version.

Lastly, I can live with Aja, Gaucho, and a double album "Greatest Hits". I'm not familiar with any "non hits" song on their early albums.

Can’t really understand the hype. Fine music and nice recordings but a little too soft and mainstream.
