    In '87, Huey released this Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip To Be Square." The song's 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.

    Do you like Huey Lewis & The News? Their early work was a little too 'new-wave' for my taste, but when 'Sports' came out in '83, I think they really came into their own - both 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 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!

    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.

The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost.

      It's a dark movie to watch, but it's amazing how every time you hear a song from the movie not only does it remind you of it, but for those tragics who have watched it a million times, we know exactly what part of the movie we're in when we hear it.

    In all seriousness Huey Lewis and the News still remains an underrated band. They've churned out classics like 'I want a new drug' and 'Power of love', but this song remains their undisputed masterpiece, because it perfectly captures the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends; however, what goes more unnoticed is that it's also a personal statement about the band itself.... Hey Paul!

    Do you like Huey Lewis and the News? Their earlier stuff was a bit too 'new wave' for me, but when Sports came out in '83 I think they really came into their own - both 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 much more bitter and 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 even listen to the lyrics - but they should! Because it's not only about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends, but a personal statement about the band itself! Hey Paul!
