When did you take the MichaelMcdonaldpill, Yas Forums? Gen Xers do nothing but talk shit about him so I had to check it out. The man is SOUL personified. Everything he touches turns to gold: Doobie Bros, Steely Dan. Need I go on?

hmm
God I fucking hate this faggots voice. Every song he's on he just ruins. He sounds alright on Peg because Fagen and Becker are so meticulous, but god damn he ruined Doobie Bros for me. I even heard him on a Christopher Cross song in the truck with my dad listening to that Yacht Rock radio and I immediately knew it was him and hated Ride Like the Wind.
>find my dads's old cassettes from the 70s and 80s
>its all Doobie Bros, Christopher Cross, Steely Dan, and Michael McDonald
>hated Ride Like the Wind
Imagine having such shit taste.
Yacht rock is based. Ride Like the Wind is a masterpiece. You are a pleb.
Yacht rock is based. Ride Like the Wind is shit because of McDonald. Cope. The genre would be better without that faggot.
whats wrng with Yachy rock
Bullshit. McDonald's background vocals are the cherry on top of the moist, delicious cake that is Ride Like the Wind. If you didn't know about him previously, you'd just think it's Cross doing the bg vocals but slowed down.
Doobie Brothers weren't good until Michael became the lead singer
Absolutely 1000% based.
Whoa, pump the brakes there. DB only had one (1) noteworthy song after Johnston left.
based
one of the og white musicians that white and black people love equally
He was in Steely Dan? I know of his solo work and his work with The Doobie brothers.
Dany Steel
He contributed, he dipped his hands in a whole bunch of projects.

>white man
>soul personified
How do I dive into yacht rock, Yas Forums? Is it really as simple as typing it into the search bar? There's gotta be somewhere better to start.

Steely Dan are so far ahead there isn't anything else that comes close
He's such a huge Steely Dan fan he ended up in the video for Tomorrow's Girls in Fagen's Kamikiriad
I always wonder what crime Michael Mcdonald and Christopher Cross committed time force them to flee the country. Deepest lore.
What the fuck?
I literally stumbled upon him last week and been listening to him constantly since
I recognised a ton of classics songs I didn't know was by him too
yup him Kenny Loggins and Daryl Hall
>tfw you remember buying blank cassettes by the 5 pack, making mix tapes, and meticulously labelling everything with the included stickers.
>tfw i still do it
