The Doobie Brothers vs. Michael McDonald solo

noumenal · 04.10.2006, 05:23 PM

I'm takin' it to the streets to find out, once and for all, which was better:

The Doobie Brothers or Michael McDonald solo.

The Doobie Brothers:

Michael McDonald by himself:

Vote or Die.

I'm not familiar with either of them. But the guy back left looks like he's up to something, or has recently been up to something, or is planning to be up to something soon, so I'm edging towards the group vote.

I am going to hurt you.

Did I stutter?
Do you need me to talk louder, or slower?

Savage Clone loves it when I start threads on awesome bands like The Doobie Brothers or Little River Band.

BTW, if you guys need me to remind you of some of their greatest hits, I'll post a recording of me singing them

noumenal · 04.10.2006, 05:37 PM

What A Fool Believes would be a good start.

Hip Priest · 04.10.2006, 05:41 PM

Savage, do you mean you're going to hurt me because I haven't heard the Doobies? Are they as good as The Bambi Slam?

Noumenal, that sounds cool.

Savage Clone · 04.10.2006, 05:43 PM

Sorry, directed at Noumenal.
For some reason I though HP started the thread.
Direct all threats to Noumenal from here on.

With his husky, soulful baritone, Michael McDonald became one of the most distinctive and popular vocalists to emerge from the laid-back California pop/rock scene of the late '70s. McDonald found the middle ground between blue-eyed soul and smooth soft rock, a sound that made him a star. He initially essayed his signature style with the Doobie Brothers, ushering in the group's most popular period with hits like "What a Fool Believes" and "Taking It to the Streets." McDonald disbanded the group in 1982 to pursue a solo career, which was initially quite successful, but by the end of the decade his popularity had faded away, since he was reluctant to work regularly and hesitant to update his sound to suit shifting popular tastes.

I think McDonald's Christmas album gives him a slight edge.

HaydenAsche · 04.11.2006, 04:55 PM

Bahaha.

For some reason, I found that hilarious.

That's what I get when I search for Michael McDonald

Conspiracy theory?

noumenal · 04.29.2007, 02:37 PM

MellySingsDoom · 04.29.2007, 02:40 PM

CHOUT · 04.29.2007, 02:42 PM

I LOVED that episode. Didn't Raj get caught with a tape recorder in his pocket during the concert? I also think that was the episode where Dee was a smart ass.
