45 Number Twenty-Nine

I think more than any other band these guys take me back thirty years. I love this and all the other great Squeeze tunes. The catchy hooks, Difford and Tilbrook's vocals, and Jools Holland's infectious piano playing. Lucky enough to see them several times in the early 80's, although Jools had moved on. One of the shows had Paul Carrack with them. He sang their biggest, but in no way their best, hit "Tempted." If you haven't Squeezed in a while I suggest you give it a go. These songs really hold up after all these years. A couple of my faves:

"Cool for Cats" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJ2cEc_TCH8&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

"Up The Junction" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3635AFfu0s

"Labelled With Love" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3635AFfu0s

"Is That Love" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAY9Vyo0g0A&feature=related

And many, many more!
