New Robert Palmer
But that's just Robert Palmer songs.... Simply Irristable, Didn't Mean to Turn You On...

Does that mean you would put Huey Lewis up there, too? I Wanna New Drug,
Workin' For A Livin, Heart of Rock N' Roll?

Palmer's good, so's Huey, but top 5?

New Matter of scale.
Huey's "Drug" simply isn't as pervasive as "Doctor Doctor". Dr fits in any rotation. You can put it in the middle of a hard rock set..it fits. You can play on "oldies"...it fits...its a brilliantly crafted Rock and Roll song.

I would rank the "Sports" lp from Huey pretty high on an all time album list though. The individual songs aren't top 10 material on their own.

While I like some of Palmer's other stuff quite a bit, Clues being my favorite album...the later stuff (Simply Irrisistable or Addicted to Love) is completely forgettable. Hence the reason for the "blind squirrel" comment.
