The fact Dan had so much faith in this band from the jump says a lot. He was the best bass player in Chicago at the time. Literally could’ve done anything he wanted to do. Matt wrote some songs and won him over. Matt was the band so much at the start. They sound incredibly disheveled. But they produced some of the best music to come out of Chicago
This is very true. Dan is often seen as sorta “the other singer in Alk3”, and I’ve met a number of people who specifically dislike Dan’s songs, while they love Matt’s. So it’s important to remember that both Dan and Glenn had been in comparatively big, established Chicago bands (Slapstick and 88 Fingers Louie, respectively) while Matt wasn’t known as a singer or even a guitarist- he had primarily been a drummer before Alk3. Anyway, like you said, Dan was one of those guys that was obviously going somewhere with his music- he was an insanely talented bassist, he had experience touring and playing with a successful band, and he was beginning to find his own unique voice as a writer. All this, and he had barely turned 20! If he (and Glenn) hadn’t thrown in their lot with Matt, who knows if he’d have gotten another opportunity and found the kind of success he did with the Trio. And just to address those people who dump on Dan’s songs- it is Dan’s very willingness to stretch out, to explore atypical structures/melodies/tempos, that lets Matt stay in his lane and do the thing he does so well. If Dan wasn’t there to provide contrast and share songwriting duties, Matt would not only have to start using his b-material to fill up albums, which would then start to drag, but his whole aesthetic would likely sour and lose some of its punch. So even if masterful songs like “Crawl”, “Emma”, “I Was a Prayer” or “Little Help?” somehow don’t strike your fancy, you should at least appreciate him for allowing Matt (in more ways than one) to write all those songs you *do* love.
