You'll be glad to know you can count me as another fan of Daryl Hall...  one of the smoothest/most soulful voices in pop music. The big early 80's Hall & Oates songs were a big part of the soundtrack of my childhood... But that aside, I agree that Daryl is also a very talented songwriter/musician. His solo LPs "Sacred Songs" (with King Crimson's Robert Fripp) & "Three Hearts In The Happy Ending Machine" (partially produced/written with Dave Stewart) are among his better work IMO. As for his work with John Oates, I really recommend to those whom haven't heard their lesser-known material: the interesting Todd Rundgren-produced War Babies (from the mid-70's) & the late 90's gem Marigold Sky (one of my favorites!) They've collectively covered a lot of musical ground throughout their career.  |
I'm happy to know there's another Daryl fan and even happier to know you like War Babies (1974)! I love that album. Some people think it's sort of off-the-wall. I agree that it's something that people who heard Hall and Oates in the '80s wouldn't have expected from them!
