Hall & Oates...
Hall & Oates.. late 70's 80's band... there poppy and good lyrics.. i like them.. and don't know alot of there stuff...
point of this thread... true heart to heart 80's music... what was actaully really good popular or not... TO YOU.. and explain why |
Hall and Oats - you make my dreams come true.
Dunno much about it. it's catchy as, and i think its from the Wedding Singer. |
alot of Adam Sandlers movies have really old fun catchy cheesy like songs in them.. which is part of the reason why i like his movies..
|
Yeah very true... Styxx - renegade, from Billy Madison, and Exile - i wanna kiss you all over, from Happy Gilmore... are awsome tunes.
|
i liekd em
|
Very radio friendly songs & Daryll could really sing, my fav song is I can't go for that
|
It makes me kind of sad to realize that I heard these songs on the radio first, and not in an Adam Sandler movie.:confused:
|
Don't know about Hall, but i love my Quaker Oats.

Yeah, a truly "guilty" pleasure of mine. I think Daryl Hall has one of the greatest voices in Pop music. Oates was kind of a load... and that mustache??
|
I'm not a big fan of Hall & Oates in general, but I think "Maneater" is a surprisingly good pop song. Of course, it's from my childhood so there's probably a huge nostalgic element to it.
|
I can't go for this thread.
|
They made the elusive use of "that" popular way before Meatloaf showed up. I dig me some Oats.
|
Hall & Oates own. 'nuff said
|
I like some of their 80's stuff as it was around when I was growing up and it is likeable enough.
Maneater. I Can't Go For That. Method Of Modern Love are all perfectly respectable MOR tracks. Nothing spectacular but listenable. |
Youre a bitch girl.
|
I wonder where they are now?
|
I'd like to think they are both on some tropical island staring at the ocean and clinging their Pina Colada filled glasses, with very satisfied smirks on their faces.
|
I reject the whole concept of Hall & Oates to be honest.
|
^^^ Oooo! Harsh!
i had forgotten about H&O, but i love "Maneater" and "I Can't Go For That," too. Going to have to load some on the 2b to listen to. |
All I've heard of Hall & Oates is Daryll (sp?) Hall's appearance as a guest vocalist on Elvis Costello's 'the Only Flame In Town'. The song's ok. Hall's got a good voice, I'll give him that
|
H2o
One of my favorite Hall & Oates is the H2O album and my favorite song because of the girl it makes me think of is Kiss On My List, but One On One is cool too.
|
I'm curious about Hall & Oates. Is there any record in particular that anyone could suggest to me?
|
Still one of my favorites duos from the 80s. I bought the live video from their Maneater tour. Great musicians. I got to play in a H&O tribute band yrs ago. Alot of fun. But Hall stole his vocal schtick from Todd Rundgren who produced at least one of their earlier 70s albums.
If you want to hear some good albums try anything from the 70-80s especially: H2O Private Eyes Big Bam Boom Abandoned Luncheonette- earlier 70s work |
Private Eyes was my favourite song from them. I always forget which one is Hall and which one is Oates. Whichever one is the darkhaired one, he looks like a guy I used to know. I mean, EXACTLY like a guy I used to know.
|
There's a Best Of out there, with not a duff track on it. 'Out of Touch' is probably my favourite track.
|
I did not know them that well but always thought they were talented. Then I randomly won a 2 disk set of all their hits and I was blown away. Tons of great tunes and a lot of songs are great that I did not previously know where their tunes. Songs from way back that I recognized but didnt know the artist. Cool group.

Save Me," "Message To Ya" and "Eyes For You" on Daryl's album, "Laughing Down Crying." This album was released on September 27th, 2011 on Verve Records. |
Daryl Hall's show is getting a lot of airtime on music television. The guy seems highly respected by other musicians.
Personally I think most songs by Hall & Oates are enjoyable fluff. I prefer the more meaningful songs like "Don't Hold Back Your Love." (Although the mostly downbeat 1988 album is lousy, in my opinion). My favorite song by the duo probably is "Family Man" - dark story and great guitar. |
Listen: 'Ballin' Oates' pits Hall & Oates against T.I., Kanye, more - latimes.com
I love everything... |

Are they "a great rhythm & blues duo"?
|
They were huge back in the 80's...had a ton of radio airplay.

I have it on record and cassette and its excellent sounding :) |
Prior to seeing them 2 years ago I coulnd't tell you more than 2 songs off the top of my head. I was actually going to see the openers. Then Hall and Oates came on and played like 15 songs I knew, I just didnt know it was them.
|
I love FAMILY MAN on H20 (I am so glad Bob Clearmountain didnt work on that album!! -- otherwise the record/cassette wouldnt sound good at all!!)
