The expression "Pub Rock" in the opening sentence greatly belittles the band. Dr Feelgood are a R&B band! In fact if you talk to the Rolling Stones or Pete Townsend you'll often hear opinions from them that claim the early Dr Feelgood were THE premier R&B band in Britain. The Wilko/Brilleaux era Feelgood were an R&B legend and that is not just my POV. So-called "Pub Rock" as a reaction against Prog Rock doesn't make any logical sense in this instance! "Pub Rock" is not an expression in use at the time whilst R&B quite demostrably is! Dr Feelgood were formed in 1971 and that's years before anyone coined the expession "Prog". Prog fans might claim it originated in the pyschedelic 1960s but most students of popular music will associate Prog with 1970s bands like Yes, Emerson Lake and Palmer etc. The "worst" excesses of Prog were in the MID 1970s and the reactionary music which challenged it was Punk not R&B. You could easily argue Dr Feelgood were proto-punk but what you cannot do is ascribe to them anti Prog status when they had already developed their powerful R&B style long before the Punk led backlash against Prog. Johhny Rotten is famous for his criticism of the turgid Public School old boy pro-establishment nature of Prog which he oft sites as the catalyst for his raw revolutionary Punk. Therefore I challenge the use of the expression "Pub Rock" in the opening sentence and submitt that this should be changed to "R&B" which is not only the contemporary expession but one which reflects the true nature of Dr Feelgood. This article needs a damn good rewrite. Best Wishes to Wilko. In good faith. AM — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.148.38.202 ( talk) 21:04, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

The BBC have published an interview with Wilko Johnson, giving his version of events surrounding his departure from the band: might be worth incoporating into the article ~dom Kaos~ ( talk) 12:19, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
Should this article be entitled Dr. Feelgood or Dr Feelgood? Martinevans123 ( talk) 19:27, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
I don't understand the first paragraph. "The band's name derives from a slang term for heroin or for a doctor who is willing to overprescribe drugs.[1] It is also a reference to a 1962 record by the American blues pianist and singer Willie Perryman (also known as "Piano Red") called "Dr. Feel-Good", which Perryman recorded under the name of Dr. Feelgood & The Interns."
Piano Red's song is about sex NOT heroin (and incidentally so is Aretha Franklin's "Dr. Feelgood") so the two sentences are at odds with each other. — Preceding unsigned comment added by StonePeter ( talk • contribs) 03:31, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

– "Dr. Feelgood" is a well-known slang term for heroin or a doctor who is willing to over prescribe drugs. In addition it is the best-selling album and song by Mötley Crüe. Qxukhgiels ( talk) 14:36, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

To be perfectly honest, we do not want a lead image from 2009, nor a lead (prominent) "Members" list that is completely irrelevant to the important period of the band's career. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.145.5.21 ( talk) 02:23, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
