Still does.  Here's JB, Tom Petty & John Fogerty last month opening the 2013 R & R H-O-F ceremony jamming on "I Love LA" with Randy Newman before Randy's induction.

The Jackson 5 version of this song was my first exposure to it as a kid in the 70's. Liked it then, like it now.

Maybe I'm just tired of hearing this but this song doesn't do it for me. I like other Jackson Browne stuff but not this one. It's just me, right?

Love the congas — or is it bongos?  That slapping really works with the rocking piano and chirping lap steel.

I just saw an incredible 2-hour documentary on David Geffen last night. While one could argue that he (Geffen) eventually sold his soul for the almighty dollar, his early career was quite fascinating. Jackson was one of his first discoveries/signings.

Great song, great guitar playing and the bass keeps it going. I bought this when it came out and pretty well every JB album after that.

My all-time worst song: "Loving You" by Minnie Riperton. Pretty sure it can beat all comers. 

Always liked "Doctor My Eyes"—reminds me of autumn high school days.

I'm right there with you on the April Wine! Man, they've got some seriously bad songs.
As for Adele, I thought her performance at the Grammys was one of the highlights.
And for the record, this song is great.

I had a dream that Jackson Browne lost a lawsuit and was forced to put a warning label on all his albums: "BUYER BEWARE. ALL SONGS BY JACKSON BROWNE ARE ACTUALLY THE SAME SONG".

It was just a dream. I really do love Jackson Browne's music, though you have to admit, he uses the same melody lines and chord progressions in most of his songs.

"Doctor My Eyes" is one of my favorite songs ever, so I'm giving it a high rating.

"Muskrat Love" has gotta be in the all-time Top Ten Worst Songs in History (and is "The Captain" not the poster-boy for emasculation?).
My vote for #1 goes to "We Built This City" by Jefferson Starship.

Wasup? Why don't y'all's comments match the overall ratings of this song? I guess it's because it's comforting to join in on the cheap shots for those of you who missed the era and the experience. You'll never know how affecting it was hearing this song blared through the minds of the people at public gatherings before the onset of disco.

Give me the Jackson 5 version anyday.

Sorry Jackson, nice song and all that, but MJ and the boys do it better.

No.  But I will say that my parents would have much preferred me listening to this instead of all the Zappa I immersed myself in.

Everything from your post onward has been very offensive to me. I love Jackson Browne. Comparing him to Captain and Tenille is so stupid that I can't even form words...  I better go away, because I'm about to get angry about the absolutely idiotic comments that followed yours.

I can only assume that you're all children who've never had to think a single independent thought in your lives, and have never examined your musical history.  I can't defend his music to an ignorant generation. Your loss. Please feel free to not vote - you scare me.

Wow!  I never knew The Jackson 5 took a swing at this one.  I had to go back & look it up for confirmation.  Per Wiki, their cover of Doctor My Eyes was a Top 10 hit in Europe, and it's on this album, back when Mike still looked like a real person...

 
 
Holy CRAP!  That version actually has some music to it!  I always thought that it was just the song that was soulless.

As soon as this song cued up I thought "great song!" Then my second thought was "Oh no, the comments will be full of that 'this song is soooooo overplayed' "

It remains a great song, and I was only partially right about the comments. Fortunately only a couple of the I've Heard This Song Before So It Must Be Bad Police have made their way to this song's comments (so far).

I absolutely agree.  Jackson Browne has been a part of my life since I was about fourteen. I love his music (except, he almost lost me with his "Lawyers In Love" CD.)

Love the tune - this was a good era of music coming out of the 60's before disco really took off.
 
Back then, it was quite common to see them dangling from a hood ornament or hook on the front of a jeep or truck driving around in the desert.  They cool off pretty good at 60 to 70 mph !

There were also barrels of water strategically placed at pullovers on old US 66 going through the desert in California for those boiling over radiators.

Agreed.  I think another decade will have to pass before I can listen to it with something akin to fresh ears.
