Betting this scans 8:1 in favor of pre-Michael-McDonald tracks.

I still don't understand a fucking thing he sings in it, but that verse lead melody is just killer.

A bit on the side of the thread, but it's been 7 years, so I don't care. How the hell did Led Zep get away with Trampled Under Foot? It basically is Long Train Coming, as you guys are of course well aware. I've never found any info on those two songs. I mean, the Doobies must have been big enough to sue, right?
― Mule, Sunday, 29 April 2012 21:30 (eleven years ago) link
I'm sure that manager with the baseball bat had a word with Doobie Freres and worked it out.
― Iago Galdston, Sunday, 29 April 2012 21:42 (eleven years ago) link
Valid point. But still.. It's just too obvious. Both songs are great though, so it's not really a problem. I just wondered if there was any story on them.
― Mule, Sunday, 29 April 2012 21:50 (eleven years ago) link
Really surprised Kid Rock hasn't done a mash-up of these two songs.

my pre-McDonald era fave is "another park, another Sunday", but i mostly only know what would get played on the radio

I'm not really a Doobies fan but I like "What a Fool Believes." Great single.

It's absolutely What a Fool Believes - few bands that have walked the earth can claim a song that good

Sticking outside their big singles, "I Cheat the Hangman" is a favorite of mine. That tune has a bit of everything in it, it is probably as close to prog/krautrock as the Doobie Brothers ever got and it's got some top harmony singing on it too.

My favorite non-hit is probably You're Made That Way

1. China Grove, which at 14 is where I decided "this is what they mean by 'riff rock'." (Riff rock runners up: Every other Tom Johnston song.)
Honorable Mention. Without You, which at 14 is where I decided "this is what they mean by 'a rave up'."

ok i did a deep doobie dive last week and my answer is "Losin' End" off Taking it to the Streets

"What a Fool Believes," by a nose over "Long Train Running." It's a coin toss for me, though.

I came to the conclusion that I'm not really a fan after doing a deep dive a few years back, but "Losin' End" was the one non-single album cut that stood out for me. (I think McDonald re-recorded it as a single years later.)
"What a Fool Believes" is the only track I really play anymore.
