Advent 18

Donald Fagen and Walter Becker (plus various session men) are the presiding maestros of Steely Dan. And it is here that my self-imposed rule of one album per act jumps up and bites me because without that rule I would be including all or most of Steely Dan's magisterial 1970's recordings. By the way I will shortly be introducing a bend in that rule.

So I settle for their fifth offering, 1976's The Royal Scam. It includes their most widely known track, Haitian Divorce, and is masterfully designed throughout. Nice.
