Reviews Customer Reviews for Time Flies The Best Of Huey Lewis And The News Stuck On Them Rating: When it comes to great guilty pleasure acts in the music industry today, we often look at the music of the 1980's as the best getaway for great music. A decade that has brought us some of the best legends of all time like Michael Jackson, Prince, and many other acts that came from the heart. Yet, one of the most entertaining acts was Huey Lewis & The News. Although their popularity has fizzled deeply after their 80's success, many people still love listening to their mix of pop, rock, and classic R&B with a hint of Soul, and that was said on a greatest hits record released 10 years ago, but does that same record still stand the test of time?
Huey Lewis & The News 2007 re-release of Time Flies was their first domestic greatest hits package, spanning their early to mid 80's success of their career. The album contains 15 great tracks, as well as a few newly recorded ones for the time of the original 1996 release. The album has been remastered well, but doesn't have that same feeling of being a definitive hits record as it could've. Although the album does include their big hits like Power Of Love, The Heart Of Rock N' Roll, and Stuck With You, it still feels like there is a whole lot missing. The album does overlook a few classic guilty pleasure tracks like Hip To Be Square and Perfect World that were well-played from their 80's era.
Considering, last year a new Huey Lewis & The News Greatest Hits was issued from Capitol, was much more definitive and including all of their big hits, Time Flies now feels more like it is second nature than a must buy for die hard fans. Still, if you don't own a Huey Lewis & the News record, this still feels like a fair starter, but just isn't hip enough to really be square.

Customer Reviews for Time Flies The Best Of Huey Lewis And The News Cd Decent Album For The Money Rating: Pretty good except for the fact they left off "Walking on a thin line". Record companys do this on purpose so fans dont just buy the greatest hits and ignore the rest of the catalog.
