Definitely. It's always struck me as odd that their biggest hit in America, and really the only one that gets much airplay was sung by Paul Carrack, who was only actually in the band for a short period of time, with backup vocals by Elvis Costello. Still a great song, but not the best representation of their whole body of work.

Basic answer, I know, but my favorite Squeeze tracks are Another Nail in My Heart or Pulling Mussels from the Shell. I could listen to the groove at the end of Cool For Cats for hours though.

such a great band

didn`t have a budget for vids though



Difford & Tolbrook, "The Lennon/McCartney of the early 80s."

One of my very favorite band of the era, indeed of any era.

We all know "Tempted," and as
I could put "Single's, 45 and Under" on a loop and be perfectly happy.

I didn't know Costello did back the up vocals on Black Coffee in Bed

I have, many a day.

I didn't know per Elvis backing vocals on one of my favorites, "Black Coffee in Bed" (Can you discern him? Sounds like female backups to me),




ODAAT off to BC tomorrow...going through the Northern States. I'm staying in Victoria and Tofino.

Any recommendations on Vancouver Island?
Don't know the area. Be safe and enjoy.

The Sneaking Sally Through the Alley album is a gem!

I only know the song.

Rinse and repeat.

Always repeat,





Robert Palmer had his moments,





No expert, but The Power Station stuff was, ah, crap.

"Some Like It Hot," a well done nothing burger,



Where's #MeToo when you need it?

The first side of the album (as if that's a thing anymore, LOL) is a quasi medley, played basically gapless, of country tinged blue eyed soul. It's worth a listen. The second side is more eclectic, but it has its moments.
