'Private Eyes' (1981) and 'H2O' (1982) These were released a few years ago,but I'm just now getting them.I'm gonna finally get all their CDs.

The only remastered track I need of theirs is Sarah Smile - is that on either of those albums?

SoulAlive said:

I don't know their non-singles, the only ones I'd listen to off that are Private Eyes & I Can't Go For That

CalhounSq said:

'Private Eyes' is their best album,imo.Besides the two hits that you mentioned,the album also contains "Your Imagination","Looking For A Good Sign" and "Did It In A Minute"....great songs!!

I love Hall and Oates, I still buy their new records when they release one

doegx said:

Me too I bought their last CD 'Our Kind Of Soul' and the two CDs that came before that: 'Marigold Sky' (1997) and 'Do It For Love' (2003).

CalhounSq said:

If you were alive around that time, I'm 99% sure you'd know "Maneater" and "Did It in a Minute" when you heard them. They were big singles. You might know "One on One" as well. They're all great songs.

I love that clap in that song.

I saw that in the record store and started to buy it. Doesn't it have the 12 Inch version of "I Can't Go For That" as a bonus track? If so, how was it?

vainandy said:

Yes,the 'Private Eyes' remaster contains the 12" version of "I Can't Go For That".It's GREAT...goes on a little longer than the album version,which is already over 5 minutes.

AlexdeParis said:

I remember ManEater & One on On BUT I'd never actively listen to them

CalhounSq said:

the song "Maneater" is classic Motown-influenced New Wave It's a cool,catchy song but I got annoyed that too many other songs sounded just like it...

"Million Dollar Babe" by Stacy Lattisaw
"Part Time Lover" by Stevie Wonder

In 1983,alot of people made songs like that,lol

What about Method of Modern Love?

M-E-T-H-O-D-O-F-L-O-V-E

JackieBlue said:

that's one of my top 5 Hall and Oates songs!! It's on their 1984 album 'Big Bam Boom' which I also plan to get.

I cant believe they are not in R&R Hall of Fame.

ElectricBlue said:

that's a shame Aren't they the most successful duo in pop music history?

SoulAlive said:

Yes. I saw them in concert last summer. They were incredible.
