Are they the group "Hall & > Oates" or is this a joint AC between "Hall" & "Oates"? I would lean toward > the latter. They'd be in the same boat. > How does that put them in the "same boat"? That sometimes they were credited using their full names rather than just last names is really kind of trivial, IMO. Their history definitely warrants that they that they be included as a single entity in MB. The line can be fuzzy for collaborations like Lennon/Ono, but really not for Hall & Oates. Related to this, I'd like to see people work out what we should do with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. (And Crosby, Stills & Nash), Crosby & Nash, Stills & Nash, the Stills-Young Band, David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, Neil Young, and of course... Buffalo Springfield.) --Torc.
