APDo you like Huey Lewis and The News? Their early work was a little too new wave for this user's tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, this user thinks they really came into their own, commercially 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 this user thinks Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. This user thinks 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.
