<p>actually, yes i do. i listened to it a lot when i was young because of my parents, but now i listen to it occasionally.</p>

<p>I like them too. Although everybody seems to associate them with the Back to the Future trilogy, some of their earlier stuff is really good. They are also really top notch a capella singers – saw them perform live once without musical accompaniment and they were amazing.</p>

<p>Interesting. You flamed my chances post with sarcasm now you want to ask ME if I like MY favorite band? (Seriously. I could rattle off 20 songs right now.) Hmm…Sarcasm & irony…a lethal mix!</p>

<p>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 much more bitter, cynical sense of humour. 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.</p>

<p>There are some good movies on that list. That AHX scene makes the hairs on the back of my neck rise, every time I see it. Regarding that Meet Joe Black clip, all I can say is Mistah Fran-Jeans fah life. Everything Hilary Duff for 500.</p>
