Hall and Oates (1977) Bad Habits and Infections - LOST 70s GEMS

From the unusually hard rocking 1977 album Beauty on a Backstreet, here on this song there are shades of hard driving, downbeat rock similar to Sabbath with it's circular chorus melodies but with a brightness and quirky bridge that sounds like something Wings wrote. The pounding beat and pop, phased guitar are excellent while the reoccurring bridge features jumpy piano and falsetto 10 CC/Sweet/Queen theatrical delivery. This album was stocked full of heavy crunching guitars and was one of the least soulful of their 70's output, one issue is it does drag on for way too long but does feature a trippy outro full of vocals from Hall wildly screaming 'I am the Doctor'.
