Two Against Nature has a long track clocking in at 8 1/2 minutes called "West Of Hollywood" that's really good.
Though not very long, "Cousin Dupree" always made me smirk. In all, 2vsN is a VERY good disc.

Um, by the way, what's with the photo of the cover of "Pretzel Logic?" It's a black and white photo. Only. The one here looks like someone spilled something disgusting on it. I'm just sayin'....

that's a wonderful review Mike, and so obviously written by someone both highly learned in music history and of the band itself ..oh I wanted to whip out my editor's pen a few times but screw it  ..nice one!

More reviews from SC's and Admin please. When you get reviews like that you wonder why some of you guys have been hiding all this time 
Talking about covers, explain the artwork on Katy Lied?

Portions of their "Aja" album qualify for Jazz-Prog. Other albums, I am not so sure ("Rikki, don't lose that number?")
Anyway, the title cut of "Aja" is a near Jazz-Prog masterpiece for two reasons: Michael Omartian plays keys (yeah, I know, you don't know him - but you should!); and, Steve Gadd plays the drum licks that garner him the percussion award for that year (1977). It really is a great, near-prog, song...

try reading some of the reviews here The keyboard riff for 'Rikki' was taken from "Song For My Father," which was
released in 1964 by Jazz composer and pianist Horace Silver. The
opening of both songs is nearly identical. It's a good example of how
Steely Dan fused Jazz and pop
