What's your fave Hall And Oates song?

I selected other. Of the songs on the survey, I love Sara Smile, You Make My Dreams, I Can't Go For That, Maneater and Out Of Touch. But I love, love, love "One On One". To this day, if that song should come on the radio, I have to stop what I'm doing and just listen.

I had forgotten what a hit machine this duo was in their day. I loved all their songs, but 'Rich Girl' got my vote.

From the List: "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)"

Other: "Everything Your Heart Desires" and "One on One"

I love Maneater, Out Of Touch and You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling. The latter I think is one of the best cover songs ever!:D

I vote other- Do it for Love. Everything Your Heart Desires is good too.

Unlike a lot of the stuff in the current top40 they can sing without overdoing it, breaking into a rap and can play instruments. Way to go.

Hall & Oates are one of the coolest "uncool" acts ever. It's hard to pick a favorite! I guess I'll say, "Out of Touch."

(I'm joking about "uncool" but you know... 20 + years ago they weren't your typical popular artists. That turned out to be cool. :D)

These guys rock my world!

"Sara Smile"

"Rich Girl"

"Kiss On My List"

"Private Eyes"

"Maneater"

And my number one favorite is.... *drum roll* "Out Of Touch."

Another underrated favorite of mine is "Your Imagination". That song is seriously funky, also Method Of Modern Love is a big favorite, and Adult Education.

yes, I am shocked Your Imagination wasn't a bigger hit. Of the 1981-1985 string of blockbusters where almost everything was top 10, Your Imagination stalled at #33 in 1982, should've been a top 10

You wouldn't happen to have those Billboard Hot 100 chart books, would you? I figure you don't have chart info stored in your head.

I assumed that you had the same books I have. They're hardcover books with nothing but every single weekly Billboard Hot 100 chart. They're broken down by decades, I have the books for the 70's, 80's and 90's. I use them alot as reference when I'd make compilation cds, or mainly just to see how well a particular single did.

I love Hall & Oates! That was a hard choice to make. But I picked "You Make My Dreams."

Sara Smile
Rich Girl
Kiss On My List
You Make My Dreams
Private Eyes
I Can't Go For That
Maneater
Out Of Touch

i loved Hall & Oates while growing up in the late 70s and 80s. Still think they are great!

Say It isn't So is my favorite! There was an extended mix of it released back in 1983. I sure would love to find it!

"It's a Laugh" from their 1978 album Along the Red Ledge. :)

My favorite song is: Kiss On My List

I love alot of their music, but wow, I forgot about Wait For Me! That song isn't played on the radio as much as it should.

Also, Method of Modern Love
Adult Education
You Make My Dreams
Maneater
One on One
and I do love their version of Jingle Bell Rock. I especially love the video where the rest of the band is dressed up as the relatives(G.E. Smith dressed up as a woman!!), and Daryl & John are trying to keep them out. When they are able to keep them out, John wipes him forehead in relief then they go strutting back to the tree. It's all so hokey, but I love it!!

Here are a few Hall & Oates aong that I like:

1. "One on One"
2. "I Can Go for That"
3. "Maneater"
4. "Sara Smile"
5. "Private Eyes"
6. "Out of Touch"
7. "Method of Modern Love"

The only Christmas song I like is "Jingle Bell Rock".:)

Alot of good choices, I picked Sarah Smile.

I got to see H&O in concert with Todd Rundgren in 2002. Excellent show!

Here are my faves:

Out of Touch
One on One
You Make My Dreams Come True
I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)
Adult Education

Also, when I was a tiny kid, Maneater had just come out. It confused me that everyone liked that song. "It's a horrible song! She wants to eat him!" I thought it had to do with being a cannibal. :rofl: So I had to smile when they played that song to close out the first set.

it's either out of touch or rich girl
