I have always thought the high production values of Let It Bleed and Sticky FIngers were a reason those are real favorites among fans.

Completely agree. I've almost gotten to the point of viewing Steely Dan as the Kenny G of rock & roll, notwithstanding the fact that I have nearly all of their albums. Nothing they've done comes remotely close to any of the four Stones' albums from Beggars Banquet to Exile on Main St.
