  I wouldnt if I were you
  I know what she can do
  Shes deadly man, and she could really rip your world apart
  Mind over matter
  The beauty is there but a beast is in the heart
  
  
  I originally wrote this ridiculously wordy paragraph to put into words my love for a certain band that I feel should be more recognized for their effect on pop music. But it just came out like written doo-doo. SO without further adieu, here is what I think is one of the most influential and best bands to ever come out of Philly and maybe the United States:
  
  HALL AND OATES
  
  Now my AnD friends, I say this without any hint of irony. I think their songs are timeless and the songwriting is unrivaled by any pop band then and now. I don't claim to be a Hall and Oates historian by any means but off the top of my head, I can name four H+O  songs that I know the chorus to without ever been old enough to know growing up: Rich GIrl, Maneater, Private Eyes, and Sara Smile. And don't even get me started on the great visual dynamic of H+O, that is a whole other blog.
  
  I can go on for days about this but just check out this video for Maneater.
  Pay attention, at about 2:34, Oates does a crazy hand over his face thing that totally blows my mind. I wish I knew what it meant. It's probably so deep that my head would explode if I knew the answer. Hall and Oates are fucking geniuses. I'm not worthy.
