If Steely Dan had a different vocalist

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!  👍

@zapdaddy, @audioman58, @jimmyblues1959 presumably these posts were intended to be in some way ironic or even (very) vaguely amusing.

If not maybe go back and read the posts again.

@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.

Very few songs have struck as much at first listen as The Royal Scam. This is a song I cannot ever get enough of, especially cranked up! I have been listening to Steely Dan for over 40 years, but only a few years ago actually heard The Royal Scam for the first time...Something about the drums and that beat man, very different and WILDLY addictive!

It's funny to hear Steely Dan and avant-garde in the same sentence.
