I requested Huey Lewis and the News...

[Mimglow]

...does that make me a bad person? :o

[HuckleCat]

Nope. I'd like some Huey Lewis as well. Anything from Sports or Fore would be cool.



It just means we're over 30.

[Rute86]

Huey Lewis and the News can only mean good times, no you're not a terrible person. One could argue that you are a saint.

[Jordashebasics]

I could handle Huey as well.

Although I might be a little picky about it. I think Power of Love would be good.... but I also think that something like Hip To Be Square would be really boring after playing it once or twice.

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 more bitter, cynical sense of humour.

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.

I'd love some Huey. Someting off Fore, and I would want a harmonica peripheral. :)

HEY, PAUL!

[Dan12R]

I'd be in favor of a News track pack.

Someone is an American Psycho fan. :)

That said, while I don't really like to listen to Huey during my free time, I would instantly pick up any DLC released by them. Why? The News were a solid (and highly underrated) backing group, and I could definently see the instruments being fun to play in RB. Not very many people know that the News also served as Elvis Costello's backing band when he first started, either.

[Rockox]

I was just listening to "I Want a New Drug" the other day, in fact. Great tune. Definately a good-time band.

[TheNewsAndHueyL]

Huey is my second most anticipated addition to Rock Band after Pearl Jam. Huey is good stuff, and then there's The News - it's just win sauce.

You may be able to tell this by my name.

No. I am 19 and I grew up listening to Huey Lewis. I would like to see something off of Sports or Picture This.
Maybe Couple Days Off from Hard at Play.

[Highlandlassie1]

Sports album for DLC in it's entirety.

I used to love that album.

The back to the future stuff would be fun too.

[OSUjen]

Nope, it's hip to be square, after all.




;)

[VoorheesJoker13]

I would love Power Of Love and Back In Time in a Huey pack.

[sg327]

1) Do You Believe In Love
2) Power Of Love
3) Workin' For A Livin'

[josheee]

"I want a new drug" popped up randomly on my Zune today and I found myself listening to Sports all the way through.

It's such a fantastic album, I had to come here and bump this thread.

[Bitterdeath]

Sports was the first record i ever owned. I'd love to play those songs.

[hueylewisfan#12]

Huey Lewis and the News are my favorite band of all time and I'm only 15.
I think some good songs to add to Rock Band are...

1) Walking On A Thin Line
2) Power Of Love
3) Back In Time
4) Couple Days Off
5) If This Is It

[Jigen]

Jacob's Ladder FTW!
