Eddie Money vs Huey Lewis?

Eddie. I like Huey too, but not as much as Eddie.

Eddie and it's not even close. I actually like Huey (seen him in concert twice) but Eddie was a legend IMO. I can listen to his stuff all day long.

Same kind of music phenomenon, just different eras.
Maybe the major similarity is that they were both major toe-tappers.

I think I like Eddie Money because I relate him to a better time in life, when I was in High School / College, and his songs seemed more real. Eddie was a cop before he was Eddie Money.

Edward Joseph Money ( Mahoney )
Critic Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times called him a working-class rocker.
"Baby Hold On",
"Two Tickets to Paradise",
"Think I'm in Love",
"Shakin'",
"Take Me Home Tonight",
"I Wanna Go Back",
"Endless Nights",
"Walk on Water",
"The Love in Your Eyes"
... and some songs that did not rate that I really like:
"Gimme Some Water"
"Trinidad"
"Can't Keep A Good Man Down"

The guy was a song-writing powerhouse with a lot of other good songs with a disctinctive style and vocals.

Last time I thought of Eddie Money was when he was in an episode of "The Kominksy Method" just before he passed away.

Huey Lewis had a lot of good songs too. To me he is more corporate/Hollywood, the bridge at the middle of the good music from before and the corporate crappy music of today.

Didn't know this about Huey Lewis, that on April 13, 2018, Lewis announced that he had been diagnosed with Ménière's disease, and that he "couldn't hear well enough to sing". That sounds like a terrible disease.

In 1985, Lewis sued Ray Parker Jr. over similarities between Parker's theme for the 1984 movie Ghostbusters and Lewis's "I Want a New Drug". The case was settled out of court with both parties agreeing to keep the settlement secret. That seems like BS.

Both are great 80's acts.. Huey had the Best Doo-Whopp Band while Eddie Money also had the hits..
