The Best of Squeeze - up to 1990

Advantages: All the hits, great value
Disadvantages: Doesn't include the band's highly regarded 1990s work

...am concerned, one of the greatest lyricists of his generation and Glenn Tilbrook is able to melodically interpret Difford's words beautifully. The Album The album begins with the bands first hit single from 1978, "Take Me I'm Yours". At the time they were marketed as a post-punk, powerpop set-up, which was misleading given the fact they were musically very gifted. The song is particularly evocative of traveling "the seven seas" as Chris and Glenn ...
...indicative of what the future held for them. The follow up was "Bang Bang", a piece of power pop which wasn't particularly memorable and is only remembered by fans nowadays - indeed Chris and Glenn have distanced themselves from the song. Later on in 1978 however the band released "Goodbye Girl" which was to be the first single from their second album, and this is a firm favourite, despite only reaching number 63 in the charts. The song perfectly ...

They're nuts

Advantages: Some great stuff here
Disadvantages: None really

...familar obsessions, as its title, More Songs About Buildings And Food, mockingly suggested. Eno’s influence on the album was relatively subtle. He fed the sound of the band through his synthesiser, and then mixed the treated sound in with the original. The result emphasised rather than altered the band’s style. Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz were developing into a powerful, funky rhythm section, and the overall sound of the record was a bigger, ...
...contained a surprise hit single, a cover of soul singer Al Green’s Take Me To The River. Sung with all the intensity Byrne could muster, the single entered the US Top Thirty, reaching number 26.

Another change was the use of several vocal tracks, where before the songs were monologues with only David Byrne voice, now they used several vocal tracks that featured other people’s voices apart from Mr Byrne. In the mix was Eno’s voice along with Nona Hendrix from the trio “Labelle”. Along with extra vocal tracks the band were using a large amount ...
