>shitty fucking vocalist>sounds like he's on the verge of tears when he's singing>only known for collaborating with actual good singersFuck this untalented boomer piece of shit. Even one hit wonders have more talent than this old faggot.
If That's What It Takes [Warner Bros., 1982]On his solo bid the El Lay soul man sounds like he should leave his therapist, not his group. He's feeling so hard the sense of strain is constant, as if ordinary romantic travails are driving him to the edge of existential patience. Yet despite it all not one of these common-sense homilies has the common wisdom of "This Is It" or "What a Fool Believes"--there's a smugness about his determination to go with the serially monogamous flow. And I sure hope the next single is "Love Lies" or "No Such Luck"--I'm sick of the rest already. C+
>>130498543>only known for collaborating with actual good singersMany will only remember him for his solo hit "I keep forgettin'" and that's it.
Awful 70s-80s yuppie AOR cheese.
>>130498686it was an updated version of Jack Jones and other such 60s sloppa
If you want to personally get under his skin, tell him that he's the best yacht rock artist of all time. They hate that their genre is called that.
>>130498849Yes, background noise for people who drink bad mixed drinks at overpriced restaurants.
>>130498543zoomer mindbroke because grey beard/grey hair looks slicker than them> many such cases
>>130498925then again, Nikki Sixx would probably also hate if you called him hair metal
worst thread on /mu/
>>130498543I love his doobie brothers albums so fucking much
>>130498543>only known for collaborating with actual good singersand you are only known for being an ignorant retard.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9_e0rRvyz8
>>130498543Steely Dan are good but technically Donald Fagen does not have a good singing voice in terms of range/technical skill
>>130499366I prefer the boogie rock era
>>130501007Doobies were never boogie rock
>>130501031Early doobies maybe
>>130498543he is more talented than basically any of the people churning out crap today
>>130498979>mediorcre singer>hurrr must be zoomer cope!!!Imagine being mindbroken by zoomers making up some cope thesis about being an old fuck, couldn't be me. Thank god I still have my hair in my 40s and not balding like most of you fat American millennial fucks.
>>130499405Tom Johnston and Patrick Simmons were more recognizable than Michael MacDonald you faggot.
>>130501007The latin percussion, production, rich keyboard chords, and michaels voice fucking rule. I dislike patrick simmons thin voice. Everything sounds amazing in timbre on songs like You Never Change. The arrangements on Minute By Minute are absolutely perfect. Wish it didn't have the filler acoustic song and I actually do like Don't Stop to Watch the Wheels but mostly because of the sick guitar riff.
>>130499006True. Still love "Kickstart my heart" thoughbeit.
>>130501327millenial amerisharts have to cope one way or another for being useless overweight or effeminate faggots so they take their petty frustration out on either zoomies or boomies
>>130499006especially when that was a perjorative term invented during grunge and nobody used it in the 80s
>>130500964his voice is an acquired taste but he has good range. Doctor Wu and Kid Charlemagne are made by their vocal performances.
>>130498573His I Keep Forgettin' is a mastodon yacht jam tho
>>130498543its another this guy is actually great but im going to start a thread making fun of and insulting him thread
>>130498543OP is a virgin
>SHUTTER FALLS>ALL IN 3D>FOREIGN MOVIE
>>130502824>its another this guy is actually great but im going to start a thread making fun of and insulting him threadI bet you're going to claim Pat Boone was actually an underrated genius and gets shit on for no reason.
>>130502867whats that got to do with michael mcdonald? this dudes great
>>130501460Yeah but Michael McDonald is an American too
>>130502862PEEEEEEEEEEEEG(Back to you)
>>130502905Which explains why he's a shit singer and that Phil Collins mogs him.
>>130502846Father of three. Meanwhile your dick has never touched pussy once.
Yeah MacDonald sucks
If I have to hear Yah Mo B There one more time then I'm gonna yah mo blow my brains out
>>130498543>making thread about something I don't get because zero lifeHe made sex-haver music. You wouldn't understand. Sorry.
>>130507487kirdblt (kek it really do be like that)
>>130503057this nigga knowand what a fool believes alone justifies big mcs career, jam of a lifetime
>>130498543>be me, Michael McDonald>chillin TFO with amazing women>hot sex with beauties on tap>rich AF>eating at fantastic restaurants >driving best cars, beautiful house(s)>repeat every single dayUNTIL >insulted by incel virgin autist (who lives in trailer park with mother) on Hungarian pistachio-shelling forum>can't take it and an hero that day
>>130500964Donald has the attitude in voice that makes Steely Dan songs work>>130507685And there's the Thundercat song he wrote just for Mike McDonald and his love for Steely Danhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-zdIGxOJ4M
>>130500964>range/technical skillNo one cares except other singers/musicians who use it as a way to cope with their lack of success.If it sounds good it is good.
>>130509766I care. Steely dan is passable but you give me too shitty of a vocalist and I simply cannot listen to it. Either git gud or fucking stop trying to be a singer.
>>130507685wonder how many people have chosen to do it for karaoke underestimating how high they have to go
>>130498543You are a faggot
>>130500964Donald Fagen has an absolute shit singing voice but the music bails him out
>>130509424that would be so funny
>>130510969Huh what u mean
>>130498543i keep forgetting how good he is thanks op
>>130501374waohyeahshit music, son
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPI7oU-fuGwMy favorite Michael Macdonald contribution
>>130498543He peaked when he collabs with Kenny Loggins
