Hall and Oates:
I'm with Bruce regarding "Along the Red Ledge". Especially the first
half. Really, very good songs. Some of their very best songs (IMHO).
My other favorite is what came to be known as the "Silver Album".
I know many fan's think "Abandoned Luncheonette" was their moment.
Good, but for me, but less consistent and less "fun" then the Silver
album.
Also, let's not forget that back in the day they actually took some
chances with granted, very mixed results. The Rundgren
produced "War Babies" and then post the hits from "Bigger then Both
of Us" they put out the at times very odd "Beauty on a Back
Street" . Just, try just humming "Winged Bull". No don't.
I also think a few of their later day hits were just fine but I kind
of lost interest by that time.
I actually was a big fan of theirs back in the day. It was weird per
they had a few dips in their career. I remember seeing them in arena
shows but then post the "Bigger then Both of Us" era in a little
club. It seemed their glory days were over but they still put on a
very nice show. Then they became even bigger sellers in the 80's and
really packing the arenas again.
