Free Music Review: Rockin' Reunion
Hit: 5 Stars
The original lineup (well, the Toulouse St. lineup to be fair) of the Doobie Brothers finally got back to together to release an album in the summer of 1989. The result is, in my opinion, their best work. There is really no weakness throughout the album. The Doctor was the huge hit, of course, reaching #9 on the pop charts and #1 on the Rock charts. The followup single was no slackoff itself, as it reached #45 on the pop charts and #3! on the Rock chart. South of the Border also fared well on the rock charts. Musically however, this album flows together so neatly, and each song is so thoughtfully catchy that there are no songs to skip over. Time is Here and Gone is one of the most amazing songs you will ever here - it's message and it's music echo so very true. In fact, lyrically, this album is no doubt the most mature the band ever did. But the music is what makes the Doobs - roaring guitars, sweet acoustics, and their lush, trademark harmonies. This album shows the best of all worlds. So pop it in and be reminded that "Music is the doctor...of my soul".Free Music Review: "Stop hating, and get over it"

This goes to the a**hole L Brown and all the other idiots who don't know anything about real soul. I'm a (true) Doobie Brothers fan and I'll be the first to admit that all of their albums (which I own, excluding the ones after Michael McDonald's departure) are classics. I love Tom Johnston but but Michael is truly a better singer. The albums with Michael are are nonstop listening. As oppose to maybe two or three that were not up to par pre-McDonald. I'm a black man and I would put McDonald as one of my top ten vocalist of all time. His voice is so unique and has aged well. If you love straight ahead classic rock (like I do) but can't hear anything else - well then the Michael McDonald led Doobies may be a little out of your league. So try to advance your musical knowlegde. And remember - keep the long train runnin!!Free Music Review: The Doobies Without Michael McDonal R-O-C-K!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Simply put, Michael McDonald ruined the Doobie Brothers. What had been a good rockin' band was transformed into a bland popish group with none of the soul of the original band. This disc, the first recorded by the band since the departure of McDonald and his tasteless influence, is a return to the good time rock for which the band was originally known.
If you liked the Doobies pre-McDonald, then you'll love this disc. If you like the Michael McDonald Doobies, then disconnect from the internet and turn on your local adult pop radio station - there you'll get the same lame, withering, worthless pop that makes people vomit on elevators.
Free Music Review: The First Reunion CD By The Doobie Brothers Is Great
Hit: 5 Stars
CYCLES, which is the Doobie Brothers' first CD after getting back together, is a great one, recapturing the gritty ambience which disappeared with Michael McDonald's arrival in early 1976. The big hit here was "The Doctor", but there are other great songs here as well, including a remake of the Isley Brothers' "Need A Little Taste Of Love." The fact that the band members believe that the young Australian tourist jailed in Indonesia since 2005 for drug-smuggling was unjustly convicted makes CYCLES an essential purchase for both your ears AND your conscience.Free Music Review: great Doobies album!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
This particular Doobies album got me through Desert Storm in a tough situation. Again, it got me through an accelerated EMT course when I got home, and they were cramming my head with so much information I thought it would explode<G>!!! This album makes me FEEL GOOD. I will always love it.
