@thelonious527 - His point was that if Steely Dan had a different singer, they might sound like this band Monkey House he's talking about. When I first saw the headline, I thought the same as you, though....
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.
