Yes, but Jerry Rafferty went on to have a pretty good solo career.

Squeeze, known for "Tempeted", is a great band. Albums Argybargy and East Side Story are superb.

"You Only Get What You Give" ripped on all the popular artists of the 90s, yet the lead singer eventually became a song writer for those types of artists

The Ghosts that Haunt Me is still one of my favorite albums. Better (IMO) than God Shuffled His Feet and WAY better than Worm's Life. I'll agree that they had a lot of songs better than mmm mmm mmm mmm and it is a mystery why that is their hit.

The vaaaaaaaaast majority of casual music fans would only be familiar with Tempted, if they even know that one.

I don't agree at all. Maybe if limited to Squeeze with Carrick.

Black Coffee in Bed was a big hit in the US mainstream because of EC's collaboration.
Tempted + Black Coffee = 2 hits

Oh, and one hit wonders do not have "Greatest Hits" like this:
1."Take Me I'm Yours" – 2:48
2."Goodbye Girl" – 3:05
3."Cool For Cats" – 3:10
4."Up The Junction" – 3:10
5."Slap And Tickle" – 4:16
6."Another Nail in My Heart" – 2:55
7."Pulling Mussels (From the Shell)" – 4:00
8."Labelled With Love"(UK) – 4:44 / "If I Didn't Love You"(US) – 4:10
9."Is That Love" – 2:30
10."Tempted" – 4:00
11."Black Coffee In Bed" – 6:10
12."Annie Get Your Gun" – 3:22
That may be the most solid greatist Hits album I've ever heard.

Squeeze had a few songs in the charts. The point is they deserve much more recognition than they get. The casual fan does not know Squeeze - they should.
Posted on 8/11/12 at 1:07 pm to Ray Penpillage
I guess, but it's hard for me because everyone I know that discusses music knows all of the above songs. Most, by heart.

Just a revolving co-op of musicians revolving around the lead singer.

it would be fair to say most people know Squeeze by their greatest hits... In fact, that CD was probably a staple in every person's CD collection in college.
Now, I don't know too many who owned their proper records... So, I would definitely agree they are under rated in that regard...

Yeah, they were a singles band.

Squeeze has more fans in this thread than they did in the entire US when they were together
