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, 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 I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this, 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.

Not at all, their popular stuff (which admittedly is all I know) sounds way too dated for me, but putting that aside their music just isn't any good (to me, totally subjective).

"So your name's Huey, huh? You know, there was a famous Huey back in my day..."
"I assume you mean Huey P. Newton, civil rights activist and founder of the Black Panther Party."
"Well, no...I was actually talking about Huey Lewis, of Huey Lewis and the News, an 80s rock band."
"Oh, that's before my time. Sorry."

I saw them in concert over the summer. Awesome show, but sadly they didn't do Hip to be Square.
