2021 NOTE: Originally published at Daily Review, July 27, 2015. Years before Rick Beato started explaining ‘What Makes This Song Great’, my little brother Tristian consulted some music experts to try to explain why just one tiny bit of one song by Hall & Oates was great. I really would’ve liked more Tristian pieces like this, but Tristian was not paid to do deep research with people on a weekly basis! His sage opinions would have to suffice.
