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".

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

great live act BTW
Also:
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.
Even thoguh ive heard it a million times.
Also it has Elliot Randell on guitar.
These both probably have a few of the same players as Steely Dan used in studio, which might explain the same "sound".
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,
Big Stacks from Kakalak
similar but perhaps a tad too kraut rock
The 1957 Tail-fin Fiasco.
A doff of the cap to Fagen & Becker. You can find them on SoundCloud.
Cheers to us all x

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.
- spidey
Is it blasphemy for me to suggest this is a lot better than Steely Dan?
Dude is a terrible singer. Obviously Fagen isn't the best but he had style
