The Collection [BMG]

Released in 2001 by the Australian wing of BMG, The Hall & Oates Collection is a very arbitrary 16-track overview of Hall & Oates' career through the early '80s. There are plenty of significant hits included here, such as "Rich Girl," "Sara Smile," "It's a Laugh," and "Kiss on My List," but it's evident that the compilers didn't put a whole lot of thought into the remainder of the selections -- "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)," "Private Eyes," "She's Gone," and "Did It in a Minute" are just some of the glaring omissions that should be included on any one-disc overview of the duo. ~ Andy Kellman
