Summary: Good Hall & Oates Collection
Review: Sound and picture quality are both good on "7 Big Ones". Some reviewers described the video as "grainy" but it's the same quality as the VHS edition. The sound is much better than the VHS.

It's only seven songs and 33 minutes long, but keep an eye out for the "Ultimate" video collection from BMG in 2004.

Rating: 5 stars

It's only seven songs and 33 minutes long, but here's to more Hall & Oates videos to come!...

Summary: I WON'T GO FOR THAT... NO CAN DO!
Review: This collection does not represent the best that Hall & Oates had to offer.

In the campy, pre-Michael Jackson days of 1981 and 1982, known rock groups could get away with almost anything in videos. If you saw the musicians, and it looked like they were playing actual music, that was enough.

Taken in context, "You Make My Dreams" was a pretty good video. Hall jumped and bounced a lot, Oates panned for the camera. They were better looking than most of their peers, and they were popular.

"You Make My Dreams" is not in this collection. Too bad, it is a better video and a better song than most of what follows:

Say It Isn't So,
Family Man,
One On One,
Maneater, (You remember the video with the big black panther?)
Private Eyes,
Adult Education,
I Can't Go For That (Probably the best in this collection)

Hall & Oates did most of their best work before MTV went on the air. This DVD might be worth buying if it included "Rich Girl," but that song came out before the days of music video--sort of.

"Kiss on my List" and "Sara Smiles" are nowhere to be found on this disc. Instead, it has a lot of songs from H&O's stale period, a point in time in which so many of their songs sounded so alike.

If you are looking for classic Hall & Oates, buy a 'best of" CD. If you have fond memories of this great duo, "watch out, boy!" This CD "will chew them up," it's a nostalgia eater.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Sadly, I agree - Not a great release
Review: This DVD could have been so much, but instead we got so little.
No imagination what so ever has gone into this release, no extras - nothin'! Of course the songs are great and the videos have a certain place in our hearts, but after 20 years we all had those on VHS somewhere in the collection anyway - so what is the point of this DVD ? I have added an extra star because the version of Familiy Man is the longer one as apposed the the single release.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wish it was better, but still worth it!
Review: Well, some of the videos on the DVD were not that great of quality and the sound has a bit muffled, but as it's Hall & Oates, we can forgive and forget heheh.

Still worth the buy as it's some of the greatest hits they had in their 80s...
