Daryl Hall & John Oates: Rock 'N Soul Part 1 - Greatest Hits (1983)

There doesn't seem to be a Rock 'N Soul Part 2. Oh well. If you want to hear single edits (as opposed to longer album versions) this record will do. It contains a whole whack of hits by the duo, like I Can't Go For That (No Can Do), Rich Girl, Private Eyes, etc. If you like Hall & Oates, you won't go wrong with this LP. The arrival of this record really reinforced that they had made the big time. As such, the quality of the music was bound to decline.

Daryl Hall and John Oates: Private Eyes (1981)

Yes, they made some really great pop songs, and this record contains some good ones, like Private Eyes and I Can't Go For That (No Can Do).

Daryl Hall & John Oates: Abandoned Luncheonette (1973)

I'm not a big fan of Hall and Oates (or Philly Soul, or Blue eyed Soul - whatever you want to call it), but I think Hall and Oates have recorded some good tracks. Abandoned Luncheonette, from 1973, contains the big hit She's Gone. The album has a smooth soulful feel with lots of hook and things to keep the listener engaged. It's perhaps an odd thing to find in my collection, but I really think that they did some good stuff on this record.
