    Hmm, I have a DVD set somewhere... I'm not sure if I have that specific episode but if I do, I'll check it out and let you know.

    I want to remember it the way I remember it, but thanks for the offer. By the way, so jealous you have the DVD box set.

    Michael McDonald (post-Doobie) should be on this list too. Not only did he put out an entire disc butchering Motown hits, but he also did Sprint or AT&T or some such telephone commercials while cross-promoting an album.

    Excellent point Wilson. By the way, did you know that if you roll up a piece of paper towel or napkin and put it between your front bottom teeth and lip, then sing, you will sound just like suck-arse Michael McDonald?

    That sounds about right, but I have no interest in sounding like him.
    Also, I should point out that as time goes by, while I still enjoy a number of Doobie Brothers songs, I realize more and more that they weren't really as good as I thought they were.

    I don't think Michael McDonald really sucks. I actually like his post-Doobie Bros music better than what the Doobies did with him. I never thought the Doobies sounded right after Tom Johnston left and was replaced by McDonald. They didn't rock after that. They made some top 40 stuff that sold but the music wasn't as good as the pre-McDonald Doobies. As for McDonald's solo career, I actually like his two Motown cd's, owning both.

    I saw him sing "Nessun dorma" badly on Oprah once.

    The Michael McDonald Doobies jumped the shark when they appeared on WHAT'S HAPPENING!! Remember THAT?

    YES! And I always remember Rog calling up the Doobie Brothers and saying, "...and which Doobie you be?"

    Good one Lavabe!

    Later Doobies

    For you Doobie fans, in 1989 the Doobies released Cycles, with all new material. Brotherhood was released in 1991, also with new material. Both CD's are similar to the pre-McDonald version of the band. They didn't release any new material until 2000 with Sibling Rivalry, which was ok, but not as good as the two previous. 2004 saw the release of a cd and dvd of the Doobies, Live at Wolf Trap, very good. Tom Johnston and Patrick Simmons are in fine form. Recently, a two cd greatest hits cd was released. Most of disc 1 is vintage Tom Johnston Doobies. Disc 2 is mostly McDonald Doobies with an awful song included called Linkin, Blinkin & Nod. Embarrasing that this truly rocking band could release such a dreadful song.

    I can't believe so many have voted for Bolton. I celebrate the guy's entire catalog.

    To be honest with you, I love his music. I do. I am a Michael Bolton fan. For my money, I don't think it gets any better than when he sings "When a man loves a woman."

    The reason he made this list was 1) He came up in the conversation this morning and 2) The Office Space Effect

    How true. If I had never heard Michael Bolten sing, I would have voted for him on the strength of Office Space alone.

    Yeah, I assumed I had botched the quote (which, of course, I hadn't). I just didn't want to believe that you of all people could miss something so obvious. You read digg -- you're supposed to be a nerd.
