@Tago-Mago Saw them in Cologne in 23. Way too much daylight for Fear Of The Dark, though. Prague should be a trip in itself!

Shifting the conversation over here for music discussion outside of our unpopular opinions; I was working in my studio this afternoon and put on some music that was recommended in the Unpopular Opinions thread.
I listened to Steely Dan: Aja. Twice in a row. Man, that's a SOLID album. I've been a very casual Steely Dan fan since I took drum lessons in middle school, but I've never really sat down and listened to an album. What an intro! My drum teacher was a big Steely Dan fan and picked them because the grooves are interesting and challenging, and make for really good practice. Thanks for the rec @mclaincausey , @Matt , @flannel-slut. And @Tago-Mago , I'm still planning on giving Opeth some listening time. I just need to get over this Steely Dan high first.

@seawolf that album has Bernard Purdie, Steve Gadd, Ralph Humphrey, and Jim Keltner on drums, to name a few. Crazy jazz and session players on other instruments too. It would be hard to find an album with a better roster of talent.
I love the compositions, but the performances and production are just so insanely dialed in. Yet it still sounds natural and unforced and not overproduced.
