How come we rarely get into Hall & Oates?

They meant anal

Heard 'Rich Girl' in the supermarket tonight. It still rocks though.

I liked their first album, Abandoned Luncheonette, originally released in 1973, and then re-released in 1976 when "She's Gone" became a hit single. That's when I bought it, an album with all good songs.

There have been a couple of relatively recent longish threads about them.

Another.

[quote]They meant anal

I thought that was what Meat Loaf meant in "I Would Do Anything for Love -- But I Won't Do THAT"

He meant fisting, R6. Fisting.

A truly great duo whose music has stood the test of time. I Can't Go For That is one of the rare songs by a white act to hit number one on the R&B charts.

There’s a Hall and Oates emergency hotline

They were junior high and high school for me.

[quote] set aside the homo-fantasy l shit, and get into their music.

There's a comma missing here. And three verbs in the one sentence.

I liked Hall and Oates. Daryl Hall had such a great voice. They made some great hits.

Can't go for giving up their soul. 🎶

I always like Sara Smile. They are talented but just not taste overall, but I do recognize their abilities.

I get the impression that the pretty one was just there for decoration; he just hummed away in the background.

Whereas the homely white dude did all the wailing.

Private Eyes - bah bah - They’re watching you! …… I loved “Your kiss is on my list.” These songs remind me of the new freedom of getting my Driver’s License and driving at night with the windows down. Nothing but possibilities ahead ….

You think Oates is the "pretty one???"

They beat the Everly Brothers for having the most hit singles and gold records as a male duet.

R17 I don't know which is which.

Andy Cohen just bought the penthouse at 299 West 12th, where Hall and Oates lived when the rumors began.

What rumors, [R20]?

[quote]I’ve always wondered what they meant by “I can’t go for that”, and I believe it stumped Meatloaf, as well.

{quote]What was “THAT”?

The last lines in Meatloaf's "I would do anything for you" explain THAT was cheating in a relationship.

Good songs but played into the ground.

r21, Rumors they were gay. Daryl soon moved to 45 Christopher Street.

Total middle school memories, especially of Maneater.

Adult Education is a damn good song.

Darryl Hall came out as bisexual during their hey-day. But John Oates identifies as straight. Which surprised me because John pings off the charts.

Was really into them in Jr high and 9th grade. Saw them live for the first time in 2019; Daryl is a great vocalist and doest get enough respect.

The chord change at 3:50 , and all the way to the end of the song - sublime pop soul!

One of my favorites.

They have both gone on, separately and together. If you missed Darrl's House, he perfomned a lot of great music with other artists participating. This is a great renditon of Can't Go for That. It doesn't get old. The blond keyboardist is cute, by the way.

Love them. “Rich Girl” is my favorite.

It's hard to pick a favorite for me, but this one is up at the top:

She's Gone is fabulous.

You almost never hear it played - one of my very favorites. - “If You Had Everything your Heart Desired, Would You Still Want More?”

"You make my dreams" still gets me bopping!

Miss Warwick and Toni Tennille did a fabulous cover of She's Gone (He's Gone).

It's Oates & Hall now.

OP, I'll explain it to you clear as day, BUT FIRST, you have to explain this to ME: "Baby hair..."

Because they died of the gay disease. We have respect.

I'm unimpressed by Hall's singing. He was no Bobby Caldwell.

Because they are f_ _gs!

They would *not* stand idly by, while those California vagina-sailors Loggins & McDonald stabbed the American airwaves in the balls with their shitty "music"!

A restraining order? 🧐

This is sad. They were my favorites as a tween.

I love Wild Fire

r46 She ran calling Wild Fiiiiire.

[quote] Let’s set aside the homo-fantasy l shit, and get into their music. Weren’t they just amazing as a pop duo?

I never shit a homo-fantasy about them. I'm not into blonds and the little one reminds me of Luis Guzmán. As for "just amazing," Abandoned Luncheonette is the only album of theirs I really liked.
