Recently I've been loving the The Steely Dan album Aja, and also the Donald Fagen solo Albums The Night Fly

I'm wondering where to go next can't decide if to get an early album or another Donald Solo Album.

I'm only familar with Reelin' in the years from there early stuff.

Anyone heard the early stuff or even the later stuff.

What do you recommend.

If you wanna stay funky go with "the royal scam". It came out right before aja and musically is of a similar vibe. And it's fantastic! The earlier albums I would say are more pop/rock oriented but obviously with that Steely Dan edge.
I have the box set "citizen steely dan" which is great. It contains all 7 albums complete from their debut up to when they disbanded in 1980.

Btw theres not a weak album among those 70's ones (cant really comment on the 2000's albums yet). Perhaps just grab whichever one you see first!

i have that too. just steller. but those two can do no wrong in my book, even fagan with his superior snarl of his.

i just saw them in concert on tuesday (at our version of central park), it was POURING rain.the crowds were AWESOME. thse people came out fully decked in rain gear, and everytime a downpour would start you'd see 2,000 umbrellas POP up simultaneously---it was so cool

I'd recommend Katy Lied, and browse iTunes for the following tracks from the most recent albums, Two Against Nature and Everything Must Go:

"Almost Gothic"
"Jack of Speed"
"Pixeleen"
