DISCOGRAPHY

I know that sometimes this band gets picked on for whatever strange and unknown(at least to me) reason, but i find these guys to be awesome! very fun and interesting pop/rock group, theyre almost in the same vein as hall and oates to me(the 80's H&O, not the 70's H&O), singing rock with just a touch of soul, as well as mixing in blues rock, hard rock, and synthpop/new wave.

at the risk of being ridiculed im gonna say that this is my 2nd favorite rock group ever, behind H&O. they had a decent band of musicians and some, dare i say it, underrated(esp their guitarist chris hayes). and huey is just a darn good singer if you ask me.

at first i didnt care to much for fore, but then i listened some more and then i realized its actually almost as good as sports, their self titled debut and picture this are worthy contenders as well

Re: Huey Lewis and the News

I only have "Sports"...but I still play that old album once in a while.

I was watching "Die Hard" a few days ago, I never realized Huey Lewis was even in that movie when I first saw it decades ago. Last year I saw him interviewed on one of those "Where Are They Now?" programs and he's happily enjoying himself and spends a lot of time fly fishing.

and of course doing occasional tours , but unfortunately the band isnt in the original lineup that it had in the 80's, chris hayes was an awesome guitarist

great album... one of the best pop-rock albums of the 80's.

Guess I should pay more attention, but someone told me a long time ago Huey was in the first Die Hard...serves me right.
