Steely Dan "Pretzel Logic" (1974)
I really enjoyed SD's first album on this list. The second album was nice in a "play it in the background" sort of way. This one bounds back to the
foreground with an attention-grabbing selection of songs
Apparently the band decided to play around with various song genres. A lot
of older genres are explored, but mixed with more modern elements, including a
ragtime track with steel guitar, tin pan alley with bursts of sunny Californian pop, calypso mixed with piano balladry.
This is my kind of jam!
There are a bunch of acts from the era that were just uber-consistent - could easily have included almost everything Joni Mitchell, Steely Dan, Led Zeppelin, Roxy Music released in the late 1960s and most of the 1970s.
