If Steely Dan had a different vocalist

...do I have to post the link to the 'Phantom of the Paradise' YET AGAIN?!

The studio geniuses can make nearly anyone sound great.....

How could you not have heard of steely Dan unless you are very young ,

land even at that ,if you listen to classic rock Steely Dan had a bunch of hits on the radio ,a very influential band of its era. One of my favorite bands.

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.
