Maybe this will help. Michael McDonald is like a fine wine.

Look at the people clap! They're having a great time and you're just too scared.

'Nothing against Michael McDonald, but if I hear "Yah Mo B There" one more time, "Yah Mo" burn this place to the ground.'

And the problem with the Doob's is what? China Grove, Long Train Running are both very good and of course Black Water was sung by everybody in high school at the time and has held up well. But suit yourself...

When you talk about the Doobs, you have to specify which version. I prefer the pre-MM era myself. Early '70s from their self-titled debut through Stampede (includes Toulouse Street, The Captain and Me, and What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits).

Dissing the Zombies? That I will just have to chalk up to the ignorance of youth.

Well they had two popular hits but they were also, although very short lived, one of the most consistent bands from that era. Almost everything they recorded was great.

I could do without ever seeing the Flower Power commercial again, however.

I agree, Richie. Hadn't heard Woman before (thanks), but they had at least 3 hits that I can recall - She's Not There, Time Of The Season, and Spooky Little Girl Like You.

also "tell her no"

The Doobie Brothers are the Nickelback of the 70s.

Although there are references all over the internet as that being a Zombies songs, I'm almost 100% positive they never recorded it.

You're right. Spooky was a hit for the Classics IV in 1968. My bad. Acoording to wiki, the Zombies never covered it.

Cover versions of "Spooky" have been recorded by several artists including Dusty Springfield, The Velvet Monkeys, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Lydia Lunch, Daniel Ash, Jazz Butcher, Puppini Sisters and Imogen Heap for the soundtrack of the film, Just Like Heaven

Still a great song.
