Daryl Hall & John Oates - War Babies - 1974 - Atlantic Records
War Babies is a 1974 album by Hall & Oates, and their last of three albums for Atlantic Records before moving to the RCA label. This is mainly an experimental album, littered with urban rock, funk and soul sounds, and laced with a touch of psychedelia. It even has sounds reminiscent of Steely Dan. Definitely not your typical Daryl Hall & John Oates album! But strange as it may seem, the album still retains their unmistakeable Blue-Eyed Soul sound. The album was brilliantly produced by Todd Rundgren, with Utopia, and it is one of the most under-rated album from the 1970's. There is no Sara Smile here, but please don't let that put you off. If you want to hear great music, this is for you. Daryl Hall & John Oates never recreated this sound again. Highly recommended by A.O.O.F.C. You should listen to the great Todd Rundgren album, "A Wizard, A True Star." Pure genius. Also try and buy the great Hall & Oates' album " Our Kind of Soul. "
