Micro-post #36: My favorite Steely Dan albums

While I shared Aja (1977) as my Album of the Day for this morning's journal entry, I also mentioned it's not my absolute favorite. Damned good still, don't get me wrong, but I'm a Dan man who has some opinions and I like their earlier stuff more. So I wanted to post those here instead of waiting until later...
