Huey Lewis and the News: SPORTS (a poll_

yeah true. i'm just a big fan of that first self-titled News album.

It took 6 guys to write "bad is bad?"

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

surprised "I Want A New Drug" ended up behind "Walking on a Thin Line"

so is Fore! next?

shamefully I don't know Fore! beyond the singles, so I'm not the one to start that poll

Right song won

Switch 3 and 4 and that's exactly how I thought this would play out, I figured only a few of you would be unashamed to vote for "Bad is Bad"

missed this but woulda voted Walkin on a Thin Line---doesn't feel like a Sports single though

My favorite New Wave Huey moment:

i was just readin this the other day http://www.sfweekly.com/2005-08-03/music/a-very-special-concert/

that article is pretty amazing and IMO makes Huey all the more awesome

okay so what came first, "Finally Found a Home" or "Owner of a Lonely Heart"??

Actually I'd say on the self-titled News LP, the best new wave/fake-punk song by far -- nothing else even comes close, though I like the two side-openers -- would be "Who Cares?" Definitely not as much memorable stuff on that album as on Picture This or Sports though.

Wait, I just remembered this album contains a moment where Huey almost says "ass" and instead just pauses, I hereby award this album no stars

got a mint vinyl copy of this for £1 today. it really is a great album, though one whose cultural memory is kept on life support solely by American Psycho.

"Heart and Soul" is the crowning achievement here and it's a fabulous slice of pop-rock.

this is the most proportionally otm poll result on ilm

the sax solo on "i want a new drug" is one of the most sublime moments in music

so good they do it twice

“The Heart is Rock n’ Roll” is marked “Explicit” by Spotify. Is there a secret comment about Cleveland I’m unaware of?

I find this album hilarious for reasons I cannot really articulate

Are their rumors of Dave being well endowed? Because otherwise, I'm with daavid on this comparison.

wait does Huey have a big dick?

I have not independently verified but that is the rumor

I've long wanted to call a record SPORTS 2

wait what the fuck

from Wikipedia:

Weather is the tenth studio album by American rock band Huey Lewis and the News, released on February 14, 2020, by New Hulex under license to BMG Rights Management.

The album consists of songs recorded before Lewis' 2018 hearing loss from Ménière's disease. Seven tracks had been completed before work on the album was indefinitely halted, and the band eventually decided to release the record as is.

I think what would be funny is if you titled an album Jorts and reproduced this exact cover but with everyone wearing jorts. Instead of Huey Lewis holding his jacket over his shoulder it would be a pair of jorts. Huey Lewis himself would probably think it was the funniest thing he's ever seen
