    Pros: Every Great Hall And Oates Classic

    Cons: None

    Like every young person in the 80's all I had to do was turn to top 40 FM radio to get my Hall & Oates fix.I always loved their songs.But once I heard every tune on here all together from "Sara Smile" to "Some Things Are Better Lef...t Unsaid" I realized just how great tunesmiths Daryl and John were.They had a great commercial touch but reveled in innovation-the boundries between rock n' roll and modern soul meant nothing to them.In the 70's songs like "Rich Girl' and 'Sara Smile' were pure Philly soul but from "You Lost That Lovin' Feelin' through 'Out Of Touch' their combination of songcraft,soul and poppy rock just shines through on the classics "I Can't For That","Out Of Touch" and even lesser know hits such as "Did It In A Minute"-just be sure your able to stop singing along afterwards.My favorites here are the most innovative tunes such as the experimental,hip-hop inflected "Method Of Modern Love" and the great,sparse "Man Eater".Another highlite for me here?THE FRIGGIN' BAND!!Hall & Oates backup musicians (including guitarist GE Smith) are brilliant and know how to make the most out of four minutes!I don't want to sound like a rock snob but these are among the last great pop singles that sound like they had genuine heart and effort put into them and they hold up even better now then they did at first.Tunes like "You Make My Dreams" and "Private Eyes" are just timeless.A great deal of fun for anyone wanting to know what makes great,lasting pop music!

Pro Reviews: Very Best of Daryl Hall & John Oates

  • All Music Guide

    There's one thing wrong with The Very Best of Daryl Hall John Oates, and it's minor -- the promotional 12" mix of "Adult Education" is included in favor of the 7" version. This isn't a big deal and it doesn't mar what is the best overview of Hall Oates' RCA years, the era when they became the biggest-selling duo in the history of rock. If the Atlantic years were more adventurous, dabbling in folk and album rock, The Very Best of demonstrates the virtues of consistency, since these blue-eyed soul songs rank among the very finest singles (and songs) of their time. And Hall Oates weren't unadventurous, either, since they deftly blended elements of new wave, contemporary soul, and soft rock into their signature sound. Most impressively, smaller hits like "Wait for Me" and the splendid "Did It in a Minute" (easily one of the greatest songs they ever cut) more than hold their own alongside familiar items like "Sara Smile," "You Make My Dreams," "Private Eyes," and "Maneater." Hall Oates ...may not have been hip, but they made addictive soul-pop that not only rocketed to the top of the charts but has stood the test of time as some of the best pop made during the early '80s. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide Read more Less

Biography

Hall & Oates

From their first hit in 1974 through their heyday in the '80s, Daryl Hall and John Oates' smooth, catchy take on Philly soul brought them enormous commercial success -- including six number one singles and six platinum albums -- yet little critical success. Hall Oates' music was remarkably well-constructed and produced; at their best, their songs were filled with stron... Read more
