Search - Doug & Slugs :: Sluggology 101: Decade of

One of the best forgotten 80s bands...

"Coming out of British Columbia, Doug & the Slugs were one of my favorite bands of the early 80s. It's really a shame that more of their catalog is unavailable on CD, but this is a pretty decent representation of their career. The hits ("Too Bad", "Real Enough", "Making It Work") are here, along with lots of other good stuff. Personal favorites of mine are "Love Shines", "It's Got to Be Monday" and "Wrong Kind of Right" -- the last being a truly oddball track that showcases the late lamented Doug Bennett's sense of humor. For those interested, this CD is still (as of the date of this review) available on the band's website, www.dougandtheslugs.com. This, along with the 2-on-1 "Cognac and Bologna/Wrap It" CD, are worthy additions to any collection of great pop music."

Doug would want it that way

"This is a compilation album from 1993 and unfortunately for the world the last album from Doug and the Slugs. Doug Bennett passed away October 16, 2004. These classics are gems of Canadian classic rock. Multiple Juno award winners, and one of the first MTV video pioneers. Bennett's clever lyrics and the fine musicianship of the Slugs should not be missed. Too Bad, Real Enough, Chinatown Calculation, Dangerous are just a few of the songs on this cd. Share this with your kids and your kids kids and Doug Bennett and his Slugs will live on."
