If Steely Dan had a different vocalist

Ha! Funny. The thing I can't stand about SD is their singing..  Just so ridiculous.

I realize I'm not directly responding to this thread's topic:  Monkey House, but I thought I'd share my first exposure to The Dan.  It was 1972, just around the time when their first album was coming out.  I was at Eisenhower Park on Long Island for a free outdoor concert with some of my high school ("My Old School") friends to see, of all people, Jay and the Americans!  The warm-up act were these guys I never heard of.  At first I wasn't really paying attention to them but their sound became more and more demanding of my focus.  I remember asking, "Who are those guys?" and nobody knew.  Well, it didn't take too long to find out and I now own their entire original output, not just on original vinyl and CD, but also on UHQR vinyl.  The vibrancy, the detail, the excitement create a MOST satisfying experience!

Now, I'll need to check out Monkey House.

Thanks for sharing there is alot like SD....

Steely Dan IS Fagen's vocals, like it or not (other than the couple David Palmer tracks on CBAT and the one from Becker (RIP) that I skip over from Everything must Go. I've seen them over 20 times including the various projects DF has been involved with from  NY rock 'n soul revue to the Dukes of September. I am in disbelief every time someone comes out with their greatest 10/20/50/100 album list and Aja isn't in the top 10. They are the only group where I never feel the urge to pick up the stylus and skip a song, and am not compelled to buy every record in their catalog. The AJA UHQR is the best sounding record I own. CBAT is damn good also. The Royal Scam is preordered. Katy Lied is a maybe since i have it on an OMR. Didn't;t splurge on Gauch since I have it on an amazing Japanese pressing.

I will check out Monkey House - never heard of them. There looks to be one record available new on Amazon. Nothing on Acoustic Sounds.
