Do you like Huey Lewis and the News?

Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercial and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

In '87, Huey released Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.

... especially when he wore those skin tight jeans. My-my-my goodness! :evilgrin: :thumbsup:

...of the last 25 years.

..Compared with the God-Awful crap that's passes for pop-music today, his stuff was sensational...

I thought it was about eschewing trendiness for its own sake.

TRY GETTING A RESERVATION AT DORSIA NOW, YOU F*CKING BASTARD!!!

I have to return some videotapes.

"The Power of Love", their best song ever! (Hip to be Square being my next fave)
And with their departure did rock'n'roll as we had known it.

total jackass! Even the employees in the place were disappointed when they first met him.
