one of their best. Could do without GE Smith's gurning and shape-throwing. Just play the guitar, man.

Before lip synching. Unlike today's "artists".

Another great Hall and Oates song, even better live. Everyone needs to see them in concert at least once, they never disappoint. Saw them last year in Columbus, Ohio. Great show! Love Daryl 4ever.

Un-fucking real how smooth they sound live and how easy they make it look. They always have had their chops down.

They were referred to as "Blue eyed soul" for those that don't remember. Saw these guys all over Philly area, never a bad show! NEVER

@EvilKarateClown I agree! Songs that i just discovered from watching the Musikladen concert, Room To Breathe and Johnny Gore, were a bit too slow for me when i listened to the recordings (since i heard them live first). They both sound much better live, especially Johnny Gore and It's a Laugh.

I love this song, i just don't like the music. It doesn't fit for this type of song. Honestly, i only like this song for the lead vocals and lyrics. And i prefer the live versions because the music's a bit better. I wish the guys had an different idea for the music and backgrounds, it's just too hammy for me, especially the "ooh ooh ooh" part in the chorus. It wasn't necessary.

It's a Laugh is a good album cut, but it lacks the increasingly-desperate, laugh-so-I-don't-cry emotion of this performance. The music and Hall's voice start off even-keeled, as the narrator plays it cool. By the end of the song, Hall's shouting vocals with G.E. Smith's crying guitar sounds like a nervous breakdown. Totally awesome. I only wish the record was this good, a problem with almost all of H&O's 70s music. They should have just recorded the albums live.

@chthonic19 Okay, "rock & soul." I'm fine with that. But I'm also fine with "blue-eyed soul" because I know it was meant to be descriptive, not insulting. For Daryl to get his knickers in a twist over it and call it "racist" ... well, I just think he's overreacting. BTW, there's a famous black opera singer named Kathleen Battle. She's world renowned. When I say, "black opera singer," it's to convey that a black opera singer is unusual, not that she's somehow inauthentic. See what I mean? :-)

That's easy, dude - H&O coined a very apt term themselves, back in the day: "rock & soul." And not to make this a weird racial thing, but since you pointed out that you're white: I'm black and yeah, "I Can't Go For That" is one of the best, classic R&B songs of the 80s. That shit is archetypal.

@chthonic19 Of course I'm reading everything you write. Question: If you were an A&R guy for their record company back in the 70s, and you wanted a term to describe them and their style of melding soul/R&B influences into rock, what non-offensive term would you have used? In your answer, keep in mind that 99.9% of people would associate the term "soul music" with black artists. As for "I Can't Go for That" being soul music ... if that's soul music, then I'm Isaac Hayes. ;-) (I'm white.)
