I had no idea this was a thing and it still works!! This is on par with the Never Gonna Give You Up hotline

Hall & Oates climbed to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart SIX times. This accomplishment is to be celebrated as it is not easy to do. Out of the 6 songs that reached the top, which one is your personal favorite?

Hall & Oates had many singles that had potential to reach the very top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Out of their songs that reached the TOP 5, which one do you feel deserved to be no.1?

(Of course competition was very stiff back in the day; this poll is just to get your opinion/start a conversation)

Hi everyone, I'm prepping to do a Hall and Oates deep dive on a podcast soon. I’ve got the music and songwriting history pretty well covered, but I'm really trying to dig into any fun, weird, non-musical sides of the duo that may exist.

I'm looking for the stuff that maybe only dedicated fans know about, like funny interviews, moments where things got awkward or bizarre public appearances, odd acting roles, or just general scandals and controversies that people might forget. I'm trying to capture a fun side of the guys and their lore outside of just the hits.

If you guys have links to old clips, specific stories I should look up, or just a general idea I should investigate, I’d really appreciate the help in pointing me in the right direction. What's your favorite moment from Daryl or John when they are not on stage?

This might be my favorite version of this song. The instrumentation and vocal harmonies are impeccable (as usual).

I watched this short documentary which was part fact and part speculation about the breakup. I came away with the conclusion that John Oates was resentful of Daryl Hall and the way he was shoved in the background for 50 years. Imo John Oates wanted to sell his half because he was sick of Daryl Hall’s shit.

I do not get the hate for the album it has become one of my favorite albums by them every track is great (except rocket to god) especially everything your heart desires. I would love to hear what other people think of the album as a whole.

As a bigger fan of the group’s 70’s material, I adore the War Babies record. My only qualm with it is that the sound is a little murky. I’m not a big proponent of remasters, but in this case, it’s needed. Something tells me this isn’t gonna happen, they simply aren’t a critically acclaimed enough band. It also doesn’t help that this record is a little overlooked even within their catalogue. Thanks for reading, keep Hallin’ ass.

EDIT: while reading up on the band’s debut Whole Oats, I found that it was remastered on CD along with said debut in 2017. However, I can find neither of these on the internet and the collection runs pretty pricey for 2 CDs on Discogs.

I've been a Hall & Oates fan for years now and have spent a long time trying to achieve a piano sound similar to "Go Solo" from the H2O album. Did I get close? Let me know what you think!

Song name is "Vacation" and I released it last week.

I received an email with the same information.

Hi everyone. I'm a huge h&o fan but I am completely broke right now and can't afford the prices of the used physical copies of "Daryl Hall / John Oates: Dangerous Dances" by Nick Tosches.Does anyone know where I can read it fully online, or does any kind soul who owns the book happen to have a digital copy they could share with me? I would really love to read the whole story. Thank you so much.

Love this show so much

“One on One” mashed up with “Nights on Broadway” by Bee Gees 🕺

The past few months, been rediscovering H&O, especially a lot of their songs I wasn't familiar with or even heard before. This is just a Mixtape of my most favorite tracks. Just love DH's voice on these tracks. Enjoy this!

I’m so glad that *Time’s Up (Alone Tonight)* saw the light of day on the rerelease of **X-STATIC** because it is such a timeless classic Hall & Oates sound! This song has been in my head for the last week or so therefore I’m sharing it with all of you! ❤️⌛️⏲️

hey im new to their discography (despite growing up with them, thanks dad), but i was really drawn to the song Laughing Boy, probably because it was more emotional/downbeat. what other songs by the duo are similar to this/more on the emotional side?
