Music Hall And Emeffin’ Oates, Dude

Posted by Scott Moore on Wed, Aug 15 at 5:01 PM

Schnitzer Theater, August 29. Get your tickets NOW.

In case you’re on the fence about going, I offer up this video as definitive proof that Hall and Oates were the greatest pop/soul duo of the ’80s.

Miraculously, that’s even more embarrassing than the Yacht Rock parody of them.

If Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins joined them at the Schnitz, I’d poop in a hat and wear it.

Comments

best pop/rock duo of the 80's? a worthy happy-hour debate. I vote WHAM!, although eurythmics could be considered a duo as well.

ZOMG! Forgot that one. Maybe it was for the better that I did. All that pastel men's fashion. Yow!

I was a pretty big H&O fan but I don't remember the period when MacGyver was signing lead vocals there.

I love Michael McDonald AND Hall and Oates.

I think I had Hall's sportscoat.

Randy, what do you have against Kenny Loggins?

Nice catch, Scott.

Every mean thing you have said about Michael McDonald and Hall and Oates applies to Kenny Loggins.

The other three, however, you have unjustly persecuted.

I can't go for that.

Dude, "I'm Alright"? "Danger Zone"? "This Is It"?

You've just made my point.

If I want female vocals, gimme some Janis Joplin.

Please tell me you'll have a Faces of Method of Modern Love in the next issue...
