I will neither confirm nor deny the presence of that song in my collection.

I hate hipsters my damn self, and I can't sit here and say Hall & Oates are the pinnacle of popular music & what not.  But with that being said, they are pretty solid songwriters (please see "She's Gone", "Sara Smile", etc.) with an undeniable back catalog.  I think their cheesy label comes from their more or less wack ass videos which inexplicably got mad airplay when MTV actually mattered.  
 
 You won't admit it in public, fam, but you dig the Hall & Oates . . . . .    
 
 Don't fight it.  Resistance is futile . . . .

No way did I latch onto this shit.  There's no way I could have avoided it.  All over the adult contemporary stations growing up.  That's all my parents listened to.  IT HAS AN EFFECT!!!

You need not explain it.  Simply embrace it.  Now there's Hall & Oates songs stuck in about 30 posters head's for the next 24 hours.  I fuckin' love it . . . . Music's all about balance.  Everyone can't be brooding, intellectual, and poetic.  You need a couple of Ricky Martins for every Santana.  There's always a couple MC Hammers & Nelly(s) to every Jay-Z & Rakim.  Sexy girls usually have at least one fat/ugly friend.  It's just the way of the world . . .

I like H&O and PBR in a can, but don't ever call me a hipster again.

My name is Random Citizen PDX and I have Rock & Soul Pt. 1 on vinyl.    
 
 Jefitoblog, which is an awesome blog if you haven't checked it out previously, re-posted the Idiot's Guide to Hall & Oates last week. There are a bunch of Mp3s within the article.

I hate all this post-irony/hipster BS about bands that are so cheesy you love them or a record that's so awful that it's one of your favorites.
 
 I love Hall & Oates.  They wrote a lot of great pop/soul songs.
 
 Two of my favorites are the ones that Ben Gibbard thought were horrible: "Adult Education" and "Family Man."
