Huey Lewis & The News - I Want A New Drug
Released: 1983
Download It
"I Want A New Drug", with it's killer guitar riff (courtesy of Chris Hayes), is the album's centerpiece - not only is it the greatest anti-drug song ever written, it's also a personal statement about how the band has grown up, shucked off their bad-boy image and learned to become more adult. Hayes' solo on it is incredible, and the drum machine used, but not credited, gives not only "I Want A New Drug" but most of the album a more consistent backbeat than any of the previous albums - even though Bill Gibson is still a welcome presence.
8/10
