Anybody like ever listen to one of their albums other than the Greatest Hits. Just wondered if they are any good. I think there is one with a UFO on the cover and another where they are all aweaty and shit staring each other with the ice grill.

    Whole Oats[/b] is good, kind of has a California vibe more than anything with hints of folk, rock, country rock, and a bit of soul that would become a big part of their sound a few years later).

    I also like Abandoned Luncheonette[/b], Voices[/b], Private Eyes[/b], and H20[/b] (a/k/a the ice grill album).

    Wow, this thread amazes me because I am originally from Philly and I am 38 so a question like this is very foreign to me. It's like did you grow up in LA and only hear the Doors Greatest Hits, or something akin to that. In high school "Maneater" and "Private Eyes" were ubiquitous.
    They are great, I love them, from 1971 when they had the glam make up all the way through to now when I put "One on One" on the chill out driving playlist.
    Also they had a songwriting partner, Daryl's lady, Sara Allen, for whom Sara Smile was written, she was a cool undercover songwriting talent of her day.
    Hall and Oates, very dope.

    But who really owns all their albums? That's the question?

    I've definitely held them all in my hand at the thrifts at one time or another. Some of their stronger 80s material has nice stretched out mixes on their 12s. I think my favorite is "One on One" b/w "Can't Go for That" -- if I remember the pairing correctly.

    I am biased. But if you don't have Private Eyes, Abandoned Luncheonette or the Self titled (androgenous one that's silver) they are the standout whole albums.

    Not quite, you also got that Method of Modern Love, and then on the 'ice grill' album you have 'One on One' which is hot and my secret favorite song on there, and then there's 'Say it Isn't So' but you prob wouldn't like that if it wasn't off your own personal soundtrack of driving with your parents.

    Name 5 other songs from that album that's essential.

    Shit I would buy only for Crime Pays, Maneater and One on One because you will find it for 25 cents. But I don't really think you want to be convinced. Just like you love Chali2na and I do not. Different strokes, Hall and Oates.

    Relax. I have the Double CD greatest hits. U have to convince me to cop for more than the obvious singles. Uv only covered the Big songs.
    Most of them have videos.

    And please quote me on me 'loving Chali2na'. im old enuff to know who he referencing.

    Wow. Never knew this had a video. That set up they are rocking is pretty album cover worthy. Peep Oates' vest!
