The Doobie Brothers

[Spruce Goose]

Where should I start?
I am not a big fan of best of albums.
I know the big hits like China Grove, What a Fool Believes, Jesus is Just Alright, Takin it to the Streets, Long Train Running....

What album is a goodun to start with? How would you class this band? In what genre? Are they just a straight up rock band? Is there a hint of early progginess? Similar to Supertramp?

We have just learnt China Grove to cover in our band. Great, great song

Is it just me, or is "Long Train Running" and "Trampled Under Foot" by Led Zeppelin the same song?

Hmm... similar now that you mention it... but different enough to be gotten away with.
Funnily enough, I cover both in my band (as well as china grove).

Maybe a LTR/TUF medley is the way to go
