    Every Song On This Is On My List

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 20, 2006

    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!

    I think that people only recognise hall & oates as daryl hall , because he is the leader of the band , all Hall & oates songs that he sangs or wrote, became a big hits , not like john oates sings , because people attends to see the dominance daryl ...in the band other than john's parts , but for all H&O fans , i think both of them are a great combination , and is already proved by the strings of hits that they are haved.

    Classic

    Every song on this set is a classic. What is needed, however, is a boxed set consisting of material from every company they've recorded on.

    Well There's Always Reasons

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 30, 2001

    I agree that there are some plain flat-out "where are they"s such as "Possession Obsession", "Wait For Me"...as for "Sara Smile" I did notice that it was put out by Rhino, the others by Buddha and RCA. My guess is that the rights were too expensive s...o RCA said the hell with it. My other guess is that they were trying to keep this thing to a single disk and ran out of space. My other other guess is that a Box Set is coming one day and they need to hold some material back. My other other other guess is that this is an old game so that we'll rush out to buy "Volume 2" which will have just enough well-loved tracks to be considered indeispensible by x number of people.By the way, did anybody else notice that a CD with the identical title and cover was released in 1993 with fewer and some different tracks?Are you starting to get that "Gotta Catch Em All!" feeling here?

    We've pretty much wrapped up our "chat"--which, by the way, was on-topic since somebody else decided to bring it up--and we've moved on. I'm sorry you think it wasn't appropriate, but (a) we didn't start the topic, and (b) once somebody else did, we ...felt a need to address it with some facts. Read more Less

    That's nice, jerky.

    We've contributed more to this than you have. Move along if you don't like it.

    What about "Every Time You Go Away" or "Possession Obsession"? Some people dog John Oates, but he kicked ass on that song from "Live at the Apollo"...
