those are some silky controlled vocals on their many well crafted/composed hits. Throw your tomatoes! I still like it.

I'm a fan!

I have that compilation too.It contains every H&O hit that you will ever need,plus some key album tracks.

Here's one brotha giving a vote to Hall and Oates.

after repeated listenings, I'm surprised to find 'Say it isn't so" being an emotional dramatic piece of pop. I like the change of mood when the chorus comes.

I love all their stuff except for "Family Man".

Timeless , they still sound great today.

I loved them until they stopped doing soul.

I was playing a show last night with my band. My odd neighbor shows up during my break and says "Darryl Hall is at my restaurant right now. I'm going to put you on the phone with him in a few minutes." I thought "well, I think I'm going to be busy in a few minutes." So we started our next set and my neighbor was gone five minutes later.

What does it all mean?

I like 'Soul Violins', from their last album.

They're awesome!

their versions of R&B classics like "Love TKO" and "I'll Be Around" are great.

Love them.


"Sara Smile" and "She's Gone" are two of my favorite songs of all-time, by any artist.

But now whenever I hear "She's Gone", I always think of Anchorman.

I'm sorry but I can't ignore this thread title and the spelling. I keep thinking of this guy now:

and



Ok, now I really need to get to work.

I've never heard of this album. I think I'll check it out. Thanks!

It's a collection of R&B cover songs that inspired them.It was released last year and includes songs like...

"I'll Be Around" (the Spinners classic)
"Use Ta Be My Girl" (the Ojays classic)
"Ooh Child" (the Five Stairsteps classic)
"Love T.K.O." (the Teddy Pendergrass classic)
"I Can Dream About You" (the Dan Hartman classic)
"Rock Steady" (the Aretha Franklin classic)
"Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get" (the Dramatics classic)


and they even wrote three new songs.The liner notes are very interesting,as they explain why they chose to cover each song.

It's the method of modern love.....(and the worst song ever)

I think of Tavares ,but Sara Smile is the deal fo' real "baa-by hai-ir with the womens eyes" and "Out Of Touch" "Man-eater" aww yeah and "One On One"
I was listening to AWB's "I Wanna Be Loved" yesterday feat. Daryl Hall.

.....man! now i'm thinking of the Solid Gold Show.

Hall And Oates are one of my favourite all time acts. I know a lot of people don't admit to liking them or like them in an ironic way but some of their songs are stone cold classics. Abandoned Luncheonette is one of my Top 10 all time fave albums.

Quite the lyricists...


In the moonlite
Under startlite
Songs old as the night are what I’ve been dreaming of
Everybody’s hard as iron
Locked in a modern world
Dreams are make of a different stuff

I believe love will always be the same
Ways and means are the parts subject to change
M-e-t-h-o-d-o-f-l-o-v-e
It’s a method of modern love

I can call you
Got your number
Share my life with you a thousand miles away
If you’ve hurt me
I haven’t shown it
Time’s too tight to fight
And we’re never face to face
Style is timeless and fashion’s only now
We’ve got the ways no one needs to show us how

gotta give daryl and John some Love no bout a doubt it

Sara smile ( this song was released the day after my sister was born)
She's Gone ( Tavares did this song Justice as well)
Your Imagination ( kick ass cut)
Method of modern love (this song is a cool as a chilled glass of wine y'dig?)
