troutman Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 You know how on Amazon you can listen to snippets of songs on albums? Well, I'm so desperate to find the song that I used to love but can't remember that that is what I am doing. And with dial up, it is no easy task. Believe it or not, just to get those ten or fifteen seconds of music takes a long time for each one, and then I only get two or three seconds at a time. However...... Perseverance wins the day once again!!! I found the song. It's Pretzel Logic. Yay for me. :dweez: :7up: :D 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 This is funny. I found this review on the Amazon Pretzel Logic page. You'll love this part of it: ...it is short...short songs, short running time. If you are thinking that means your getting shortchanged, think again. One tight catchy songs after another, the album ends with you wanting more, which is exactly how it should be. Too many albums of the CD age go on so long you want to quit listening before the album wants to quit playing. Not so here. Eleven songs, 34 minutes and you're done, and actually ready to hear it again We won't mention any album names that fit the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Aja is the only one I've owned. Never really heard any of the others. Damn girl, Your slacking off! Wasn't really my type of music when I was younger. I was more of a hard rock kinda gal. :D If you like Steely Dan, You really need to check out the stuff before Aja. Aja they really smoothed out. Pre-Aja stuff is more raw when you compare it to Aja, lol Mick Yep, The earlier stuff was more raw for sure. :D Aja is far from my fav for that reason. Great stuff but so slick i nearly dropped the disc on first play, lol Mick The one thing about Aja, despite its brilliance, that bothered me was its slickness. So if the earlier stuff is more on the "raw" side, where shall I start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done some research on the Dan, and will give every album up to Aja a shot. I will say this now: from what I have heard of Steely Dan, I like them more than Journey, another band frequently recommended to me on this forum. And that says a lot, as I love Journey. But will I like them as much as Yes, Kansas or Genesis? Three other excellent bands recommended to me by all you guys, so I have VERY high expectations. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 The dan is different. not prog at all, Not AOR. they're just........Steely Dan. who had one of the best album runs in rock history.

Segue Myles Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Enjoying the Dan, I can hear a lot of similarities to other bands, so I can sense how influential they must have been. Sort of like a weird mix of Fragile-era Yes and jazzy, early Toto with some absolutely weird bits and bobs thrown in. Guys, you have another VERY satisfied customer! (Don't expect me to lose interest in AOR. That genre has been in my blood for years.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
