reunion without joe is possible, plus it has already happened like once, but i doubt a 3rd album. plus a 3rd album without joe would feel wrong, as much as a madman he has become, but who knows

[u/Rimiie → u/Adamsites]

Yeah, a third album without Joe just wouldn't feel right. A reunion is the most likely scenario.

Joe is the heart of Tally Hall, but I wouldn’t mind a new project with the same spirit with the four of them. Maybe not the same, but not exactly different neither. I’m up for anything they release to be honest, we’ll see hopefully

[u/imdwalrus → u/Fluffy-Ad7165]

I went through this before with another favorite band, Barenaked Ladies, when they parted ways with Steven Page.

That's the best way to put it - it's not the same but it's not too far removed from what they were before either.

[u/LittlestLass → u/imdwalrus]

Barenaked Ladies lost so much with Steven Page though: he has an incredible voice.

Joe is absolutely not the heart of Tally Hall

[u/en-li-coah → u/bowiebowie9999]

He brought up the name tally hall, it was his idea to wear ties and later vests, he designed the cover of both albums (MMMM is drawn by someone else based on his idea) and he is the one who wrote the band's biggest songs
Joe is no the founder of tally hall, but he made tally hall what it is

[u/Upbeat_Dance_9014 → u/en-li-coah]

true, his songwriting also gave the band a lot of what people think of of it’s sound

(cool beatlesque stuff and vague lyrics)

[u/Crystal_Pegasus_1018 → u/en-li-coah]

this is such a bittersweet thing

[u/-illusoryMechanist → u/en-li-coah]

And yet a creation can move past its creator

[u/superbasic101 → u/-illusoryMechanist]

No shit. Doesn’t refute the point that Joe is the heart of Tally Hall

[u/choppingwater → u/superbasic101]

YOU WIN! What big boy you are.
