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 , 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.
Did you lift that straight out of American Psycho?
Did you know that Whitney Houston’s debut LP, called simply Whitney Houston had 4 number one singles on it? Did you know that, Balbec?

What Flano was asking on that thread was a totally different question. That thread referred to Huey Lewis and the news, not Huey Lewis and The News.
I can understand why somebody would ask others if they like Huey Lewis and The News, as they were a musical act (possibly still are? I have no idea), but asking people whether they like Huey Lewis and the news is like asking people if they like Bruce Hornsby and Spawell, Elvis Costello and bumper cars or Prince and the storming of the Bastille. Bizarre.
Try getting a reservation in Dorsia now you fucking stupid bastard!
Hip to be Square is actually a fucking deadly song to be fair to it.
What’s your favorite Madonna record?
torn between

and

but you can boogie to either
Any answer that doesn’t say Get into the Groove is to be discarded.
All-time classic alright but she’s had a good few others.
Who was better? Madonna or Michael Jackson?

It’s like trying to choose between Kilkenny and cork for a hurling man.
No contest- Kilkenny are hurling

i don’t think Madonna would have been half as successful if it wasn’t for Thriller. The market was ripe for a female Pop superstar after that record and Jackson’s ascension to the stratosphere.
Madonna kept herself relevant and reinvented herself more, Jackson was the king of pop and just lived off that.
Its also fair to say if madonna wasn’t a cracker in her day she wouldn’t have made it though.

Elvis was the king
Jackson was only the prince.

Madonna had better songs. I would also have preferred to have Madonna fondle me than Michael Jackson.
While I don’t think Madonna was a cracker based purely on her looks (she was decent-looking rather being a cracker) she had a charisma and sexual energy that considerably elevated her attractiveness over that of almost every other female pop star since.
After about 1992 she became quite annoying.
She’d have handed it back to you soft, but only after about the fourth go.
