Huey Lewis and the News - Sports
Hootie and the Blowfish - Cracked Rear View

I can’t think of any songs that came after their big mega-albums.


Regarding Huey Lewis and the News: What?!?

"Sports" came out in 1983.

The "Back to the Future" soundtrack came out in 1985.
It featured "Power of Love" and "Back in Time", and the album went platinum.

"Fore!" came out in 1986.

Singles from that included "Stuck with You", "Hip to be Square", and "Doing It All for My Baby", and the album went triple platinum.

Just under 3 minutes.

“American Psycho” explains why “Fore!” is their most accomplished album.

I wasn’t a huge fan of theirs. I only knew of these songs from a jukebox in a watering hole I used to go to. But the years you mentioned make sense. I guess I was just backfilling the anthology.
