(TV) Squeeze
Hi MMer's
I suggest we stop right here and declare Leo a saint!
BTW, I happen to like Squeeze, but just barely, they do have some good "POP"
songs and they are great for what they were intended for. The first four
albums: "UK Squeeze"; "Cool For Cats"; "Argybargy" and "East Side Story" were
good albums for their times. But they were NOT intended as a thinking man's
music, they were intended more as partying type music. Squeeze fit very well
into the "New Wave" along with other great bands like the Cars; B-52's; and
Talking Heads (OK, I know they really do belong with the New York punk scene,
but they also fit at the same time with the quirky bright New Wave scene).
So when I read the Squeeze reference, I knew what you were driving at. I
think you picked a good example, but there are many to choose from.
There have been manyatimes, I've gone to a show with someone and I didn't
know the music and I would say 75% of the time, I really enjoyed it and
became a fan myself (or at least an admirer).
