Good Listen July 17, 2008
I remember the mid to late 80's Huey Lewis was on the radio and TV, it seemed every 10 minutes. I remember really liking Bad Is Bad and while scrolling through Amazon one day I saw this Cd and got it basically for that song.
I had forgotten that they had some really catchy tunes, and very listener friendly songs.
I have caught myself listening to it quite a bit and remembering the lyrics very quickly.
Good Cd to listen to when you feel like some retro "catchy" rock n roll.
 A five star album turned into a two star piece of rubbish! April 19, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
At least one other reviewer hit the nail right on the head with his "two star" review of SPORTS (Remastered/Expanded Edition). If you can imagine taking your 5-band EQ and turning the treble end all the way down and the bass end all the way up, that's what you're getting on this CD. To quote Huey, "sometimes bad is bad," but this is one case where bad is pure garbage.
I just put my original vinyl copy of Sports on the turntable, and it sounds fantastic! If you need this on CD, look for the earlier edition.
 Huey Lewis & The News' Greatest Studio CD December 2, 2007
SPORTS is the greatest original album by Huey Lewis & The News. It was practically inescapable on the radio during 1983-84, and even those who are tired of hearing certain songs, such as "The Heart Of Rock & Roll", will find much to admire in the band's streamlining of English pub-rock, West Coast country-rock, early rock & roll, Southern boogie-rock, power-pop, Heartland rock, and soul/R&B influences, as well as Lewis' opposition to people picking on each other's differences. Some of the best songs here are among the most underrated, including "Walking On A Thin Line", a harrowing yet rocking tale about a Vietnam veteran so traumatized by his war experiences that he won't let his younger daughter date until his older one finds a boyfriend, and the joyous rocker "Finally Found A Home", which could be about finding your roots musically. Many athletes, including the San Francisco 49ers during their Super Bowl-winning streak, as well as many people who worked out regularly during this album's chart run, loved SPORTS. If you only have room for one original Huey Lewis & The News CD, you'll be happy if this is it.
Correction On The Huey Lewis Ray Parker Story August 20, 2007
I have always known how this story goes but if any one wants confirmation please check out Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Just do a search for
Huey Lewis and look up I Want A New Drug. It was Huey Lewis who sued Ray
Parker JR for infringement. Huey and his band The News are some very
talented musicians. They had no need to steal someone's melody.
