The leader of the bland

What is the blandest rock band ... IYNSHO?

It's a toss up for me between The Doobie Brothers (before Michael McDonald came in) and The Steve Miller Band. Just dull dull dull dull dull dull.

Dull, Dulll

Being a one time big Doobie and Steve Miller fan I agree the Doobies weren't all that exciting on stage bu they wrote some great songs and I saw Steve Miller open for the Eagles and the band blew them away. I have to agree that Wings were dull but Paul did write some good songs out of it. I just loaned Phil a Doobies DVD hope you weren't bored Phil? :-\ Gary Lewis was definitely boring even if I did learn to play "This Diamond Ring".

I've watched part of the Doobie Brothers DVD so far and liked it fine. I prefer the songs they did with Tom Johnston -- the singer on the DVD -- to the soul/lounge stuff from McDonald's time.

I'm mixed on Miller. I like a lot of the music on his first five albums, but I think he ran out of ideas right after that. Or maybe it was the wholesale change of band members after Number 5.

I've never been a huge Doobies fan, but I've always loved "Listen To The Music." Call it a weakness if you like, but I find it irresistibly catchy.
