SQUEEZE & JOHN COOPER CLARKE TOUR 2015

[theraven1979]

Always had Squeeze down as a singles band (a bit like Madness) - I realise I've probably pissed a lot of people off there. But gimme some none singles Squeeze tracks that are good.

Also, wtf is Hourglass about? weird old song that one.

I reckon pretty much every track on the first three albums that weren't released as singles could have been.

But after that it gets more difficult.

Must confess I don't know their albums either. Although I quite liked the singles back in the day I only ever bought one. My first Squeeze gig was five years ago and I was quite impressed by them. Enough to make a second visit. I decided to buy the new album just out of interest and familiarise myself with the songs for this tour. Worth a listen IMHO.

"East Side Story" (from 1981) remains their masterpiece - they never managed to top that collection of songs. When you listen to that album comparisons with Ray Davies and Lennon & McCartney are fair enough. I think Paul Carrack added something to the mix and when he left Glenn Tilbrook dominated a bit too much but I'm sure they'll always be a great live act.

Not Sqeeze or JCC related but... Who else thinks ThruBeingCool's Devo hat icon looks better in the original blue version as opposed to the current red?

You're not the first to say that actually. Maybe I should revert to blue......?

I feel a poll coming on

My vote: Red!

Shouldn't it be terracotta? I prefer it to the blue anyway.

Ta for the review, enjoyed reading that, JCC is a genius and most of Squeeze's singles are ace... what I've heard of latest stuff, seems to me a bit drab tbh.
