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.

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.

Miller had lots of good ideas, they were just all someone else's

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.
