Hamilton Saint Posted 25 March, 2009 Posted 25 March, 2009 OK, if you like that sort of thing (blue-eyed soul). Daryl Hall is certainly a good vocalist - did some interesting work with Robert Fripp, for instance.
Scudamore Posted 25 March, 2009 Posted 25 March, 2009 I f::cking love I Can't Go For That (No Can Do) Not even a secret shame...
the stain Posted 25 March, 2009 Author Posted 25 March, 2009 I just read on Wikipedia that they met when their respective groups were competing in a battle of the bands, which turned into a gangland shootout. They took shelter in the same elevator. Fate is a funky sorceress.
St Landrew Posted 26 March, 2009 Posted 26 March, 2009 Yes. Wouldn't buy their music, but they were of an ilk that were played on the radio during the 80's that got you winding the window down and resting the arm on the sill while you turned the volume up. Other artists that appealed that way were Kool and the Gang, Wax, Andrew Gold, Level 42 [ They all have their place in what I consider Quality Pop.

Can I add Jo Jackson to your list of 'window down, take your time' driving music?
St Landrew Posted 26 March, 2009 Posted 26 March, 2009 Can I add Jo Jackson to your list of 'window down, take your time' driving music? No mate, [but I know what you mean] because I've always rated Joe Jackson quite highly. Hence: Look Sharp I'm The Man Night & Day Body And Soul owned by me. And I'm sure there would have been more but for an emotional disturbance of the financial kind.
Deppo Posted 26 March, 2009 Posted 26 March, 2009 Yes or no? And for that matter, which? Definitely. I have Private Eyes on cassette.

Deppo Posted 26 March, 2009 Posted 26 March, 2009 'Lonely Boy' is the only good thing wot Andrew Gold done. You could add 'Jessie's Girl' by Rick Springfield to that list. But maybe you won't.

Deppo Posted 26 March, 2009 Posted 26 March, 2009 Hmm... how about Never Let Her Slip Away then..? It's cack.
saint lard Posted 26 March, 2009 Posted 26 March, 2009 Saw them Support Fleetwood Mac at Wembley Stadium many years ago,they were brilliant.
saint lard Posted 26 March, 2009 Posted 26 March, 2009 Can I add Jo Jackson to your list of 'window down, take your time' driving music? Used to live just round the corner from me,spent most of his life growing up in gosport,did some great gigs locally with a blues band called "Deaf boy Hug and the hearing aids" founder member of Manfred mann earth band coincidentally was in that band,a bloke called Spike edney used to play with them too,he was the fella that would play guitar with queen when they were touring...sorry i digress.
St Landrew Posted 26 March, 2009 Posted 26 March, 2009 It's cack. You've obviously never been head over heels in love, matey. It hits the spot quite well in that respect. Obviously it was of its time, but it still stand up IMO.
St Landrew Posted 27 March, 2009 Posted 27 March, 2009 I can't go for that... I saw what you did there. Clever..!
James_O_Mac Posted 27 March, 2009 Posted 27 March, 2009 CLASSIC!! Me and my mate always ask people (who clearly know nothing about music) which they prefer Hall or Oates? Its funny looking at bewilderment. She said leave me alone, i'm a family man and my bark is much worse than my bite! choon.
