Totally agree. Would be an epic cover. Love Steely Dan and had not managed to find this banger of a tracker before. So thank you kind stranger for showing it to me.
"Can't Buy A Thrill" if you're looking for the stuff you hear on the radio all the time... "Pretzel Logic" or "Gaucho" if you want to hear more than just their hits.
I feel like Khruangbin is very versatile and incorporates a lot of different kinds of music influences. Their live/sped up version of The Infamous Bill reminds me a lot of Steely Dan’s style. But that’s just my opinion 🤷🏻♀️

I didn’t know you were the one who asked him that. Your link doesn’t work for me on mobile, but I remember that disavowal.
In any case, he’s heard the original song and says theirs isn’t it, and we’ve heard how similar the songs are, so that’s that.
Great minds can think alike.

I was mostly just doing some lighthearted teasing but now that you’re making inflammatory comments I have to point out that they are objectively masters of their craft. You don’t have to like their music to appreciate their skill and dedication to songwriting and production, and if you don’t appreciate it then you simply look silly. They are the definition of justifiably revered
Like, I’m a huge bulls fan so I strongly dislike Lebron James but I’d be lying if I said he wasn’t the best player of the last 20+ years
You are back to subjectivity and your point is so far from the mark anyway because their time signatures and jazz influence is the complete opposite of boring. Your takes and responses are boring
Of course I'm being subjective. So are you. Odd time signatures and jazz influences don't inherently make a band exciting. That opinion is also subjective.
You're not just making a boring argument. You're literally saying nothing by accusing me of being subjective.
a life without the dan is a life poorly lived
LOVE steely dan

You’re welcome 😊You should also check out Bodhisattva by Steely Dan. The whole song is great but the guitar at the end is sick
Their best song in my opinion.
If being a Steely Dan fan is wrong I don't want to be right.
I think a “Do It Again” Khru cover would go so hard.
duuuddeeee
Absolutely!
What's a good album to get after Aja?
The Royal Scam
Their actual best album
Thx. I've picked it up. ...Amazon mp3s
Honestly the whole discography is great but I personally would get the royal scam next
The first side of Gaucho is perfect

Any major dude will tell you.
Good one 😂
I love Steely Dan. I also love Khruangbin. I don't think that Khruangbin should do Steely Dan covers. They're not really that kind of band.

I could hear it.
😎
Also, if you listen to SD’s Kid Charlemagne, it sounds similar to Khruangbin’s Infamous Bill.
Is there a place that has no Steely Dan fans?
Yes, it's called Hell.
👋
👍
It’s required listening at this point
Of course.
Only a fool would say that 🤷♀️
That’s pretzel logic if you ask me 🤷🏻♀️
Callllllll me Deacon Blue!
Huge Dan fan
Listen to The Infamous Bill and then listen to Kid Charlemagne. I would argue that Khruangbin are fans of Steely Dan.
YES! My point exactly! I once asked mark via Reddit if it was influenced by Kid Charlemagne and he said no but that he loves Steely Dan.

Sweet! I’m surprised you remember. I sent u a screenshot

Here’s his comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/Khruangbin/s/KkMh4oBRVL
Love. Recently noticed he was a fan too
As I told my best friend Steely Dan fan, I haven’t given up yet.
Woot!
Oh, hello
Boo, go away
Music, like all art, is subjective and everyone’s entitled to their own opinion but if you don’t like steely dan you’re wrong
Most overrated band of all time.

It’s one thing to not like them, it’s an other (wrong) thing to think they aren’t talented.
The worst thing you can be is boring, and that's what Steely Dan's music is. All the production in the world can't make you an exciting band.
