love this song! One of their most underrated singles.

Dreamtime (Daryl Hall)!!!

All of them... I like Elton John's version of "Philadelphia Freedom" more , but I love all of their cuts that I've heard very much...

Hall & Oates

yeah Davie,i saw the show months ago. pretty cool. darryl's
take on ME and MRS jONES WAS dope!!!

out of touch done unplugged style sounded nice.

At a recent show,they did a tribute to Barry White by performing "Can't Get Enough Of Your Love,Baby".I would have loved to have seen that.I'll definitely check out their upcoming live DVD.

Darryl Hall "in a Philly Mood", Say it isn't so,I Can't go for that no can do,Kiss on my List,Wait for Me,Sarah Smile,She's Gone,Rich Girl,One on One,Your Imagination,Private Eyes,out of touch,Method of Modern Love.

Maxxx said: >Darryl Hall "in a Philly Mood"<

Agreed. Darryl actually had a couple of strong solo singles- this one immediately coming to mind. Also another one from that same time period "Stop Loving Me, Stop Loving You" was a cool single.

I've always liked Hall and Oates on the basis of their strong singles, but I have a hard time listening to full albums from them- with the exception of the "Private Eyes" album. Their '97 album "Marigold Sky" is underrated, not great- but there's some good stuff on it. And their newest one has 4 or 5 strong tunes.

My top 5 (in order of preference):

1.i cant go for that
2.private eyes
3.she's gone
4.sara smile
5.out of touch

Bingo! I dig there Singles but All the way through Albums are hard for me to get into aside from "Private Eyes" as well.Peace

It's true,Hall and Oates were definitely a "singles" band,but some of their albums are superb.'Bigger Than The Both Of Us' (1976),'Private Eyes' (1981) and 'Big Bam Boom' (1984) are strong,consistent albums all the way through.And as you pointed out,'Marigold Sky' (1997) is very underrated.The latest CD 'Do It For Love' is one of the best CDs I bought this year.
