If Steely Dan had a different vocalist


they'd be Monkey House.

I cannot believe I'd not heard of this band until discovering them just today.

If you like Dan (and who doesn't, really!) and haven't heard of MH, check them out.

Having grown up in the 1970's, where Steely Dan's Avant-garde approach to making music would go on to make them one of the most unique sounding  groups in history,  it's difficult to fathom anyone not knowing who they are.  But,  this is coming from someone in their 60's. Most of today's youth would probably know  no more about Steely Dan then those of my generation would have known about the big bands that our parents' grew up listening to.  

I'm glad that you have discovered Steely Dan's music and wish you many happy hours of listening to them in the future!  👍

@mgw I did not mean to be ironic. I misread the post. lol. I just went to YouTube to listen to a few songs by Monkey House and their music does indeed have a sound signature that is very similar to that of Steely Dan. So much so that I would say that Steely Dan has greatly influenced the sound of their music, which IMO is very enjoyable to listen to.
