Bands That Sound Like Steely Dan

[Dean R]

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.

 

[asstro]

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

 

[TheKindCromang]

 

[mrmatthew]

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

 

[Big_Stacks]

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,
Big Stacks from Kakalak

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

Nimbus:

 

[djfitz]

The French Steely Dan, Cortex

Cortex - Sans Toi​

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

 

[SPlDEY]

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.

The_Non said:Nimbus:

Is it blasphemy for me to suggest this is a lot better than Steely Dan?

 

[utters]

^ absolutely

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

 

[Jimster]

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".
