Chase played with the guys who ultimately formed Steely Dan. I'm guessing that and fame with a sense of humor did it.


Eta: and my choice is Simon and Gardunkel by a mile. I find Hall and Oates somewhat tacky.

To each their own, but damn I feel like Simon and Garfunkel win this one hand's down.

Simon and Garfunkel had some great songs (Sound of Silence, I am a Rock, The Boxer, Homeward Bound, Cecilia, Mrs. Robinson, America....). I wouldn't put anything Hall and Oates did in the same class. Sorry, but this one is not even a contest for me.


Exactly

If Simon and Garfunkel had only made the Bridge Over Troubled Water album, they still win this hands down. But I'm a big S&G fan.

Tough call for me - maybe too close to call.

Probably S&G - but just barely. H&O are truly, truly underrated.

Chase was the drummer for Donald Fagen and Walter Becker's college band, The Leather Canary - had he been a little better drummer, he might have been in Steely Dan, rather than SNL.

Think about that...

Oh, and as to why - Simon and Chase were best friends in the 1970s - Simon was the very first host of NBC's Saturday Night.

S&G by a mile. As previously stated, Paul Simon alone makes this a landslide for me. H&O are outstanding in their own right. Garfunkel may have paled in comparison to Simon, but his vocals were something that Simon could not touch and therefore complemented him well.
