 Topic: The Doobie Brothers
Posted: September 04 2006 at 19:01 |
I used to have their album "What were once vices are now habits" I´m not sure what happened to it, but today I have that urge to hear it again. It had some great songs like the feelgood "Song to see you through" and "Black Water"
Anyone into The Doobies and what are your favorite albums?

Didn´t Michael Mc Donald sing their hit "What a fool believes"? Was their a different vocalist before him? Songs like "Listen to the music" and "China Grove" have a more soul like, quite funky type of voice.

yes... good call Michael McDonald played with Steely Dan and was
recommend the the Doobies by Fagen and Becker after Tom Johnson
original guitarist and vocalist left the group, if I remember right he
got ill and the dynamic of the group changed to a more R&B rock
vibe and consequently they had their biggest success. great
group in all it's versions..

Definitely Minute By Minute, but I really enjoy their older stuff also.
btw, Anyone remember that old 70's show "What's Happening"? One of my favorite episodes was a two-parter where the character Rerun was forced to bootleg a Doobie Brothers concert. Classic stuff.

Yyyyyuuuuuuuuuuucccccccckkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!................. 
I hate McDonald's. And I do not like Michael McD either
Ian McD is more than allright , though.
Minutes By Minutes is the album I like least.
Doobies career can be divided in three parts
The first and their best >>> great west coast rock (and these guysreally could) with double drums 
Habits and vices  ,5 >> Jesus Is Just allright
The Jeff Baxter (from Steely Dan) years >> increasingly country influences
Stampede ,5 Fault Line ...... I think I forget one here
and the MsDonald years >>> completely AOR sound
I hated this... I was 14 or 15 at release time and still now I do not like it

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I like their sound around 1973, with great songs like Long train running and China grove.
