Earth Song - Michael Jackson (A flat Dorian)
To get Lucky - Daft Punk (B Dorian)
Breathe - Pink Floyd (E Dorian)
An easy way to recognize a Dorian scale is comparing for example A minor and A Dorian.
The A minor scale has all the notes white. A B C D E F G A
The A Dorian has the F sharp (nearest black key to F). A B C D E F# G A
So when the bass is D on the A minor scale the chord defined is D F A, ie D minor.
Whereas on the A Dorian the D is D major, D F# A which is happy.
Similar correspondence for all other Dorians.
