"Too Much to Dream" was WAY before Mass in F Minor. I would say it preceeded it by 4 years or so. But, as I recently posted, forget that album and get the Prunes' "Underground" album if you can't find Mass.

I'd just like to insert my little comment that Steely Dan was actually Dan Fogelberg! Yep, he would make records on his own name, but when he wanted to go out on tour, he'd hire some local musicians and hit the road as Steely Dan. Pretty neat, eh?

GS> ...they're just not well-crafted songs. For example, songs written GS> in the key of D major just cannot contain an F minor chord. GS> Won't work. There are just SOME things that can't be done. GS> They are sonically horrible. Where did you ever get an idea like that, Gary? I've written a song in the key of F# major that has an A minor chord in it, and another in the key of A major which has a Cm in it (both of which are exactly the same chord intervals that you're talking about, but in different keys). They work very nicely - mainly because the melody flows around the progression in such a way that it ties them together seamlessly. I've also written a number of other songs that have chord progressions that you probably wouldn't think would work - but they do. GS> Yes, we do need exploration, but there are certain guidelines. Harmonic and structural guidelines in music, like most rules, are made to be broken. Of course, you may not like the result if it's displeasing to your ear. However, the only boundaries of what can and can't be created musically are either those that are in your own head, or possibly the ones imposed by the twelve tone scale, or the limitations of your instrument and your own technical facility on that instrument.
