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, 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 The B52's, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

I think Huey Lewis is better than The B52's, at least in terms of new wave. I cannot say that I am a big fan of new wave either. But HLatN seems to have better withstood the test of time. Not that the B52's are bad, I like them too.

Huey Lewis & The News is The J. Geils Band for people who can’t stand jokes with cursing.
