NUMBER 99: Squeeze

Yes, folks. Squeeze makes the cut for the top 100. A band who is known as a "one-hit wonder," with their hit being "Tempted." Other songs such as "Pulling Mussels (From the Shell)," "Up the Junction," and "Annie Get Your Gun" are up there as my favorite songs by Squeeze. The two primary members of this band, who formed in 1974 and broke up in 1982, were Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook. If you have not heard any Squeeze check them out. They are definitely an acquired taste, with their New Wave sound, however the unique-to-Squeeze sound of two vocals, one high, one low, has been an influence on many bands. So take a listen to a little known New Wave artist who might just be what you're looking for. If not, there are still 98 artists to go on the countdown of the top 100 artists of all time.
