I was fed a diet of Doobie Brothers since I was in nappies and they are still a favourite (both eras)- not that I listen often these days.  The Captain and Me made my DTF Top 50.

Hard to pick 7 but


Listen To The Music
Black Water
What A Fool Believes
Takin It To The Streets
China Grove
Long Train runnin
Minute By Minute

HMs to plenty of others.

Are you WildRanger reincarnated with a more sensible brain?  :biggrin:

Anyway I've not heard an awful lot so I just went for the hits. Long Train, Streets, Fool and Listen.

my 'best of'...
Listen To The Music / Rockin' Down the Highway / Toulouse Street / Jesus Is Just Alright / Natural Thing / Long Train Runnin' /  China Grove / Clear As The Driven Snow

Without You / South City Midnight Lady / Evil Woman / Nobody / Black Water / Flying Cloud / Eyes Of Silver / Another Park, Another Sunday / Take Me In Your Arms / I Cheat The Hangman

‘The Captain And Me’ is an honorable mention, along with ‘Dark Eyed Cajun Woman’, but I just listen to that whole album if I want to hear it.  In my list of 100 favorite albums.  Great ebb and flow throughout.

‘Clear As The Driven Snow’ is such a great album side closer (love the sleigh bells!), then ‘Without You’ hits you between the eyes to open Side Two.   ‘Nobody’ is a gem from their first album, that I just heard a few years ago.

No doubt many have heard the ending instrumental of ‘I Cheat The Hangman’ as a backdrop without realizing it’s by the Brothers Doobie.
...going along with Dragon Attack's Queen thread has been like taking a free class in Queen knowledge. Where else are you gonna find info like that?!

*ahem*

I was doing these kind of threads long before that guy became a copycat and started similar-type threads.  I am the original.  :biggrin:

I only voted for Black Water because I like it so much better than everything else on the list.  Not to say I don't like the rest - I do, very much - but Black Water is, to me, just THAT good.

I think the only songs I actively like from them are Long Train Runnin' and China Grove, so...
