We have our favorites, which we based on our emotions. Or you can answer which of their songs do you find to be their best musically?

There sure are a nice variety of answers. I'm listening to my "Best Of..." and "Takin' It To The Street" is playing now. I think they're an awesome band without and with Michael McDonald. The link to YouTube, the first answerer provided, had me watching all the Doobie Bros videos in their library. The Doobies Bros ALWAYS puts me in a good mood... :-)

Lots of different favorites! Doobies Bros., have so many great songs, I'm sure it must've been hard to choose just one song, as I see many listed two or more. They weren't a 1-hit wonder, that's for sure! I love all the songs everyone chose to post here. But if there were a jukebox filled with Doobie Bros songs, and I all I had left was one quarter, I'd pick, "Black Water".
Thanks for all your answers!

Hi! I'm a long-time fan of the Doobs.
My favorite song of theirs is: "It Keeps You Runnin'." I fell in love with that opening keyboard riff. And then the lyrics got to me. And the bridge. And the tune. ... It's got a great beat. It's easy to dance to. I'd give it a 98 1/2. (Sorry - "American Bandstand" flashback.)
I also like:
"Another Park, Another Sunday" (Even though the lyrics are about a lost love, somehow the song doesn't bring you down.)
"Long Train Runnin' " (The beat reminds me of the sound of an old-fashioned train coming down the track - which is probably how they meant it to, so it would go with the title.)
"Minute By Minute" (Another insecure love song that somehow doesn't bring you down. And the beat sounds kinda like a clock ticking - which is probably how they meant ...)
"Take Me In Your Arms (Rock Me A Little While)" (This one is a rocker - oh, yeah, I see ... probably because of the title. But it moves, so the lyrics aren't such a downer.)
"Listen To The Music" (The only one of their songs that ClearChannel stations play constantly - like it's the only song that the Doobies ever recorded - that I can stand to hear over and over again on the radio. ... Oh, don't get me wrong - I'd love to hear all the others I listed played constantly, but they won't play 'em, and ClearChannel owns all the rock and oldie stations in my area.)
The Doobs have a great vocal blend. Their music makes you want to dance. Their songs don't all sound the same.
Like I said - I'm a fan.

I like Takin It To The Streets and Black Water. In my opinion, Black Water is the best though

I Cheat The Hangman....From The Album Stampede.
That song never fails to send chills right down my spine. It is Hauntingly, Atmospherically Perfect. An amazing mood piece.

I'm a big fan of the Michael McDonald era, so I like "What a Fool Believes", "It Keeps You Runnin'" and "Real Love", but "Long Train Runnin'" and "China Grove" are pretty good too.

Either "Listen to the Music" or "Black Water" and don't forget "China Grove"
