lzzoso Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 How many of you out there also love the songs of this "Dynamic Duo"? Daryl Hall and John Oates. I have to say that these two people have produced some of the Greatest POP songs of all-time. "Sara Smile" "Rich Girl" "She's Gone" "Maneater" "I Can't Go for That" "Kiss on My List" "Private Eyes" "You Make My Dreams Come True"... Need I say more? I know that I am not the only Hall and Oates and Led Zeppelin fan out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pagemeister Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 They have a lot of great songs, and they did well in making the transition from the 70's to the 80's. Daryl Hall has one of the best voices. A few years back a group out of L.A. called Bird And The Bee did an album of Hall & Oats covers, and they all sounded great with female vocals: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerpetualMotion Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I preferred this album by Darryl Hall, Not as poppy as H&O, but lots more musically adventurous. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacred_Songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electrophile Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Hall and Oates were amazing. I think they get unfairly crapped on for being really popular in the early 80s and having a lot of MTV success, but they shouldn't get penalized because they wrote songs that people liked. Sara Smile is probably my favorite songs of theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley of the Drive-By Truckers praise Hall & Oates at nearly every opportunity. Personally, they were never my cup of tea but I have lots of friends (mainly musicians) who admire them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex W Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Me! <raises hand> Not only that, I love the sugary pop of 80s Hall & Oates. It's great songwriting, and as mentioned upthread, a lot of younger bands - The Bird & The Bee, Gym Class Heroes - and a ton of hip hop artists sample/cover/pay homage. Which is a pretty rousing endorsement. If anyone is in So Cal, Hall & Oates are playing the Hollywood Bowl's annual weekend-long 4th of July extravaganza. H&O will be joined by the orchestra - badass - plus fireworks. More info: http://www.hbowl.com/HallOates (Full disclosure, I sometimes work with the Bowl. I stumbled across this forum while doing some excited-to-be-going-to-the-show websurfing and thought I'd share.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knebby Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I really like them, used to listen to them a lot in the 80s. In the mid-80's I asked Robert Plant to fill out a questionnaire for a project I was involved with and he answered the question "favourite singer" with "Darryl Hall" ( oh, and "favourite cartoon character" with "John Oates" ) *sp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouillon Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Someone once explained to me the purpose Oates served, but I can't for the life of me remember. But he is clearly a contender in the top 10 'Does what, exactly?' chart, alongside: Andrew Ridgeley (Wham!)

Yeah, but he nicked most of them from 'I'll Thcream and Thcream and Thcream: Extracts From An Imaginary Tortured Adolescence', by Violet Elizabeth Bott. Granted though, he was pretty nifty when it came to cheap publicity stunts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, Hall & Oates KILLED IT at the Hollywood Bowl Sunday night! Yeah, I "SPONTANEOUSLY" switched my plans for the 4th, so I went to the show on the 3rd instead. Great setlist...great band...great fireworks! Considering some of the people who ARE in, tell me again why Hall & Oates are NOT in the R n R Hall of Fame?
