What Happened To Hall & Oates?

[GardenStateoftheArtBriar]

nothing to be ashamed of - like I said great musicians and songwriters
back when music was real art
technology and synthesizers were promising - interesting one of a kind stuff

All a matter of taste, no right or wrong, but when one of their songs pops up on the XM I'm happy to be able to push a button and move to something else, lol. Never owned one of their albums. Back when I only had one station choice in my '64 Valiant I just suffered until it was over, haha. Wasn't a fan in HS when they got "famous", never got into them. Looks like the one that still had his act together recently bought out the other as a result of the lawsuit, and now has the catalogue to himself, but even he comes off as a bit whiny. Still, I respect any musician that is able to "make it" in whatever way that is for them.

They got into a fight over some music issues, hired lawyers and that was the end of them. When folks hire lawyers they are doomed to go the separate ways. The lawyers see to that.

I thought it was a fight over the mustache

At least nobody admitted they like Air Supply.

Actually, they've been the in arena performers for the Toronto Maple Leafs for the last 7 or 8 years, think they finally got the boot though... thank god!

I did but now I'm all out of love.

Growing up in suburban Philadelphia in the 70's, Hall and Oates were on the radio all the time. It was background music. Then I went to Temple University, where they both went, and lived in the same neighborhood they did, and drank in a lot of the venues they played. Somehow, I never felt compelled to buy one of their albums though. My musical tastes ran in different directions, and I already knew the words to half their songs, just because I had ears.

I've always thought of them as chick music.

Realizing back in the day I was with a gal who looked like a brother to either John Oates or Corey Pavin was sobering, literally.

 

[Rossi320]

I still day the mustache took over.

A great synthwave version of Out Of Touch from Astrophysics. I prefer it to the original.

Never cared for their music, luckily it doesn't come up much on the stations I listen to.

As the song says...
Some things are better left unsaid..
