    lots of new stuff to check out here - thank you.

    this obv has a more modern style, but Mantler often makes me think of DAN.

    Yes - Gino Vanelli is a steely dan soundalike ive thought that more than once when hearing his music

    Also cosign on Ed Motta



    - also these guys have some shades of the 'Dan. Although admittedly, few can really hang.

    On the way to work yesterday, heard this one on the Giles P Podcast and for some reason it totally reminded me of Steely Dan...




    Even thoguh ive heard it a million times.

    Samuel Purdey a London based band from the late 90s were obsessive Dan fans. I thnk it shows.



    Also it has Elliot Randell on guitar.

    I think this sounds pretty Dan-ish myself...

    These both probably have a few of the same players as Steely Dan used in studio, which might explain the same "sound".

    Hey Rock,

    This song reminds of Steely Dan a bit:



    It features Richard Page prior to his Mister Mister days with some slick 'blue-eyed soul'.

    Peace,

    similar but perhaps a tad too new wave.




    similar but perhaps a tad too kraut rock

    The tone and vibe of this song remind me of SD. This is pretty much brand new (sorry, no YouTube to embed):

    The French Steely Dan, Cortex

    They have some great jams and many are straight out of the DAN Handbook

    Absolutely man! Cortex is the a good call.

    I was at a doctors office and this song came on Pandora and thought it reminded me of Steely Dan. Later found out Fagen produced it.

    Is it blasphemy for me to suggest this is a lot better than Steely Dan?
  • uttersutters 321 Posts
    ^ absolutely

    Dude is a terrible singer. Obviously Fagen isn't the best but he had style

    Just checked the Nimbus, I guess it's the horn charts that ape the Dan arrangements - which must have been *thee shit* at the time, so that is understandable. Rest of it is a bit Joe Jackson, if English was his 2nd language. Like a "Jost van Jancksen".
