Not quite perfect, but overall clicks

Of Hall & Oates, there are now many incomprehensible compilations of their hits. The CD The Best Of 2001 also offered already 18 well-known songs of the duo. 16 songs of this CD are the same as The Singles. In The Best Of but are It's A Laugh and Did It In A Minute to find while you get on The Singles Everything Your Heart Desires and She's Gone. So you have to know yourself, what songs you prefer something, if you had to choose between the two CDs.

With 16 top ten hits (6 of them to number 1 in the United States:. Rich Girl, Kiss On My List, Private Eyes, I Can Go For That, Maneater, Out Of Touch) had the two, especially in the first half of the 80 a veritable hit series. These hits are here almost all represented, from the first hit with She's Gone to the last top ten hit Everything Your Heart Desires of 1988. The Singles course offers not all singles of the duo on a CD. That's impossible with a career spanning over 40 years.
A big downside is at The Singles but that the top ten hit Did It In A Minute missing from 1980. But one has Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid draufgepackt that just came in the top 20 so. With So Close (1990 no. 11 in the US) missing on The Singles also yet another major hit of the duo. Much more you can not suspend on this CD. So there is the perfect single-Best Of CD of Hall & Oates is still not.

Who really wants to have all the hits of the duo and a little more, it should be pointed on the two excellent double CD The Essential or Ultimate. Both offer a total of 37 identical tracks in the same sequence and a maturity of more than 2.5 hours. In my opinion is one of the most perfect compositions ever. The Essential, there are usually also quite cheap to buy. Furthermore, the 4 CD box set Do What You Want Be What You Are is also highly recommended, which is usually available under 20 Euro. There you can find all the hits plus a few rarities.
