Pretzel Logic: Steely Dan (1974)
Before Steely Dan essentially became a duo, they released their best album Pretzel Logic. The supporting tour would mark the last time Steely Dan appeared live for decades. Donald Fagen and Walter Becker grew disillusioned with audience response to their complex music and Steely Dan became a studio tour de force. Pretzel Logic went platinum on the strength of the lead single “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number.”
Aja: Steely Dan (1977)
Pretzel Logic went platinum, but Aja sold more copies. To date, it has sold over 5 million copies and became the subject of a VH-1 Classic Album documentary. In 2011, the Library of Congress added Aja to U.S. National Recording Registry for being historically important.
The Supremes: Where Did Our Love Go (1964)
The Supremes became the first act to have three #1s off the same album. “Where Did Our Love Go?”, “Baby Love”, and “Come See About Me” hit the top of the charts in succession. The album made the Motown sound mainstream while the Supremes were perhaps the only act to rival the Beatles in popularity.
