Pitchfork: Daily Music News What's that you say? Come again? (Thank you, we think we will.) Hall & Oates in Pitchfork? Two times in one week, no less? Oh, c'mon now, don't you know that it was the dynamic and photogenic duo of Daryl Hall & John Oates who first made the successful fusion of Motown soul-flavored pop music that was set to new wave-inspired beats? Okay, so they were from Philadelphia and not from Detroit, but this much is true: While the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Liars and White Stripes put on a public face about the steady influence of the MC5, Wire, Motown, Can, and Neu! on their road to musical self-discovery, we all know that these artists' first exposure to 80s new wave and Detroit soul was through the commercial hits of the 80s. And surely we don't need to remind you how huge Hall & Oates were around that time
