Hall and Oates vs Simon and Garfunkel

Hall and Oats. Do not care for Simon and Garfunkel.

Not even in The Graduate?

That's not a versus, that's a straight tko. S&G are legends

To me Paul Simon is a genius - Hall & Oats were great pop dudes in their era.

Problem is can anyone think of another duo big enough to go against H&O or S&G ?

Why does everything have to battle it out? Can't it all be about love man?!!

Tall blonde dudes paired with short dark haired guys, it's a small category...but S&G wins simply on the basis of the short one being married to Carrie Fisher.

That's why I put them together

They are pop/rock's biggest duos

Even the Everly's don't come close to either

Depends on how you define best....personal preference, objective measures such as record sales, awards, etc.

I personally like H&O if I look over their entire library compared to S&G but my favorite song of the two goes to S&G. I might be wrong but I think H&O are commercially more successful in terms of more songs on Billboard charts, record sales, etc. Part of that might be due to different eras plus S&G's on and off relationship.

Like others have said it seems like an apples to oranges comparison.

not an equal playing field.

I agree, the music styles are so different .They are both great in thier stylings.But in a cage match Hall and Oats for sure!

Of the two, which was the best duo ?

I think S&G wins this one easy
