[edit] Hall/Oates
- Darly's last name is really HOHL, not Hall. He was a member of Guliver ( a folk/rock band), but John who lived in my home town of North Wales was a member of the Temptones, a soul group! John was also a championship wrester!
[edit] Vote to move Hall to Hall & Oates

- Antares33712 20:33, 29 December 2005 (UTC) (like Patti Labelle vs. Labelle the group, he has had a career outside the group and that should be noted)
- Iamvered 21:26, 7 February 2006 (UTC) He's done solo work, and though not as successful, if Paul Simon, Gwen Stefani and Mick Jagger merit their own article, so does Daryl Hall... as long as it's not redundant. It should only focus on his solo career, and direct to Hall & Oates for the collaboration.
- Seeing no "yes" votes in four months of discussion, I have extensively pared down the Daryl Hall article to make it worthy of standing on its own. Iamvered 21:50, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Disography
I have reformatted the singles per the Wikipedia Tables for Charts guideline and I would like to also work on the albums to make them look more like, say, Pet Shop Boys discography or Prince discography. In doing so, I suggest spinning off all of this information to a Hall & Oates discography page. Any opinions on/objections to this? -- eo 14:41, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
- Didn't see any objections (or approvals, for that matter), so I went ahead and created Hall & Oates discography. Hope this looks ok and frees up some space in this article. -- eo 13:15, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 1975 self-titled album
This article says that the self-titled 1975 album Daryl Hall & John Oates is known as "the silver album" and the cover image made Hall & Oates look like women. This is a reasonable description of the original cover design shown here, but the image of the album shown on Hall & Oates discography (Image:Hall Oates self-titled.jpg) does not match that. --Metropolitan90 05:33, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
I agree, but I have never seen the version in the discog section before. I believe it should be changed to the more popular silver version. Of course there are also two or more covers for VOICES and ROCK & SOUL Vol 1 also. Antmusic 00:35, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hall & Oates "were" a
I noticed someone changed the first line to "Hall & Oates WERE a..." Is there a wiki reason for this (like all articles must be in the past tense)?
Daryl & John are still a touring and recording band/duo. Antmusic 00:33, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
