Best From Artist 41 - Hall & Oates

**paul** · April 7th, 2003, 12:43 AM

Hey efunk, I hope you're reading this especially since I hinted it would be about "blue eyed soul" :D
Frankly, I can't recall hearing any of their dance music at the discos pre 1981 but I like a lot of their songs so here we are. My pick for best is what I did hear at the disco, "Out Of Touch", followed closely by "Method Of Modern Love." Coincidentally, there in that order on the "Big Bam Boom" album.

Paul my dear I must thank you for reminding me to add Hall & Oates to my "must get cd list" :P ! I have the greatest hits tape somewhere but its due time to get their cd. It's hard to pick just one fave from H&O so here it is:

Method of Modern Love
Say It Isn't So
One on One
Kiss On My List

definetely "Method of Modern Love" but also "I Don't Go For That"

I Can't Go For That ( No Can Do)
She's Gone (achingly beautiful song)
Sara Smile ( the Eric Gale reworking was brilliant too )

Ah, I luvs me some Hall & Oates!!!!

Doesn't anyone recall the first H&O Disco 12" : "Running From Paradise"? I recently found the 12" remix and it's real good. I previously only knew the LP version found on 1979's "X-Static".

After that... "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)" would be my other choice. I still recall hearing this at Troc in the early morning after they played Phyllis Hyman's "Tonight You & Me". I was in Disco Heaven.

Then there's "Say It Isn't So," "Out Of Touch," "Maneater," "Method Of Modern Love", and I guess "One On One" could be used as a "morning" track.

Lots of good stuff by these guys but "One On One" always stops me dead in my tracks. Beautiful song.

Marky,

What label is "Running From Paradise" on? I don't have it in my stack.

NEVER MIND ---- FOUND IT in the pile.
