what are people's favorite lesser known hall and oates songs? i'd say (i'm glad they ementioned) looking for a good sign or head above water.

their earlier soul stuff - which i'm not personally a fan of - was underappreciated. i thought hall & oates would have gotten more recognition since they had success on their own, direct success for others (everytime you go away, say no go), and are cited by a slew of today's artists (gym class heroes being one of many).


i hope glanville keeps writing for the times for a long time, his articles are much better than either the normal jock stuff or the normal idiot sports writing idiots.

Downtown Life

If Tower of Power isn't in, those guys aren't in.

"Why Do Lovers Break Each Other's Heart?"

How does Glanville not mention "Fall In Philadelphia"? What a traitor.

I'm no expert, but my favorite H&O song is "Method Of Modern Love".

If Tower of Power isn't in, those guys aren't in.

I love you, man!

I don't know their music that well, but Hall and Oates should be lauded for their charity work in impoverished UK communities.

I'm a BIG fan of H & O, as attested by my ITunes library, which has 25 songs by them.

The most played one is Out of Touch (played 258 times), followed by How does it feel to be back (89), You've lost that lovin' feelin' (82), So Close (76) and She's Gone (60).

Fall in Philly is a song I only heard within the last year, but which I have liked enormously (44 plays already).

Will check some of the songs listed above, as I may have them on my play list and simply not remember their names.

H & O are the type of artists that will eventually be "re-discovered" and will be appreciated by future generations for the shere amount of great work that they did.

P.S. As an aside, about a year ago I started sampling Foreigner's albums, and was very impressed. There's a ton of songs there that I was unawasre of which are A+.

A general comment about Glanville.

He seems like the type of guy who you would love to talk to for a couple of hours. Even if you don't agree with his points of view, that must be a fun conversation.

Sort of like Joe Pos.

Glanville has always struck me as an intelligent, articulate guy. I love reading his stuff, even when I think he's off base.

As for H&O, I was never nuts about them, but Out of Touch and Kiss On My List were big faves of mine in high school.

Interesting comment about Foreigner. Mentally I tend to think of them as just another 70s band, but when I actually go back and listen to them, they do have a lot of good stuff.

Well, evidently I like that type of music, so I am fertile ground for old Foreigner.

But Girl on the Moon, Luanne or Break it Up (all from 4) are great songs, to just give you one album. And since none of those were on the greatest hits that I had access to when I was a younger man (late 80s/early 90s), I was unaware of them until getting that album (plus Head Games and Inside Information) dirt cheap on Amazon.

Wait, I thought it was Holland Oates, that's his name, just one dude. You mean there are two dudes?

Favorite Hall and Oates? Has to be this appearance.

Although, for some reason, Darryl seems a bit creepy on his Palladia show.

I practically burned a hole in the vinyl with Dance on Your Knees
(Yes, drum machines and blaring modern production. I ate this song up like syrup)

I'm starting to think Doug's gay. Or maybe he just has really bad taste in music. :-)

Where in the HELL is "Say it isn't So"? What on earth is wrong with you people?

Also, Foreigner is terrible.

I really like Daryl Hall's weird 70's collaborations with Robert Fripp - he sounds great on stuff like "North Star."

If Tower of Power isn't in, those guys aren't in.

You can't fight the anti-steroids vote.
