Am 20. Februar 1974 erschien #PretzelLogic, das dritte Studioalbum von #SteelyDan bei ABC Records. Es erreichte Platz 8 der US-Charts und zählt zu den erfolgreichsten Werken der Band. Die Single #RikkiDonTLoseThatNumber wurde ihr größter Hit. Die Aufnahmen markierten einen Wendepunkt: Steely Dan setzte nun verstärkt auf Studiomusiker, was den perfektionistischen Ansatz von Donald Fagen und Walter Becker unterstrich.
