Hall & Oates Inducted Into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

[Little Star]

Sporting a "Hall&Oates" T-shirt and speaking backstage at the 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony before induction Daryl Hall and John Oates into the Hall of Fame, Questlove explained: "By far, Daryl Hall and John Oates are the most successful and the most definitive duo of all time. They've shut down any other duos." More than hyperbole, Hall and Oates created a singular mix of rock and soul, highlighting a deep appreciation for their musical fore bearers while always looking forward. Hits such as "Rich Girl," "She's Gone," "You Make my Dreams" and "I Can't Go for That" captivated audiences around the globe. That song craft mastery and powerful performance quality was on full display when they took the stage at Barclays after accepting their awards like a true duo, playing off each other.

So many great hits! So many great memories.

1. Whatever. Their songs are like nails on a chalkboard to me.

Lukewarm pop oozing of 80s lameness. Yes that's harsh but it's how I feel; however I understand they have a lot of fans - to each his own.

3. Their 70s stuff was much better IMO.

She's Gone, Rich Girl, Sara Smile.....all so much better than stuff like Maneater, Kiss on my List, Out of Touch or the godforsaken Private Eyes.

4. +1000

The 70s material is sublime

6. Yeah, I'm going to agree with you there.

Pop ain't rock & roll. Blech.

Now here's a band that needs to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. They influenced a whole lot of bands:

2. And still no Deep Purple...

The R&RHOF is a joke

5. I know people have mixed feelings about them. But I gotta say, the Google "She's a man gobbler..."

ad cracks me up every time.
