Cited sources are not neutral, nor independent authorities. Squeeze are a commercial business, citing their fansite as source is little better than spam, or viral marketing. This is POV. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.141.214.246 (talk) 16:33, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've been taking on the project of doing articles for each of the band's singles for the last few months -- haven't done anything on Wikipedia prior to that, so if there's anything I can do to polish / improve my work here, feel free to let me know! Mrmctorso
They are known for their hit songs "Cool For Cats," "Up The Junction," "Tempted," and "Hourglass," among many others.
Black Coffee in Bed should be listed there. I watched MTV a lot back in the day and here in the US I saw it on MTV more than any other Squeeze song.
Also info should be added about the VH1 Bands Reunited thing.
WOW! i appreciate your work really much, cheers!:O —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.94.133.193 (talk) 09:58, August 27, 2007 (UTC)
Wasn't "Cool For Cats" re-released in the 1990s? It doesn't appear in the list. I definitely bought it on CD single! Beantrees (talk) 17:19, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"The two main writing partners in the band, Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook, are widely considered to be among the finest melodic pop songwriters of their generation and have often been compared with the legendary Lennon-McCartney partnership, although unlike The Beatles, Difford and Tilbrook's direct collaboration on songs continued through most of the group's career."
Do ya think perhaps a Squeeze fan wrote that? Damiancorrigan 11:22, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It was of course Rolling Stone magazine that first coined the phrase (one to haunt them over the years). The US version of Sweets from a Stranger had a flap on the cover promoting this. Mr Telecaster. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.129.73.212 (talk) 13:28, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Kevin Wilkinson did in fact hang himself at his home, but he was not a member of Squeeze at the time, and it's not really relevant to the band's history. Plus, the position of the sentence in the article was extremely awkward, and not realy connected to anything before it.
Of course, if you click on the Kevin Wilkinson link, details of his death are there, as they should be.
Date of birth is missing. It is written more like a fan story than factual. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.41.232.132 (talk) 01:45, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I know that the question "who was the lead singer of Squeeze?" would be below the radar of those who know enough about the band to contribute to the article. However, a beginner who asked this question should be able to find the answer here. Glenn Tilbrook's page refers to him as lead singer but is there a reason not to call him lead-vocalist on this page? Labalius (talk) 21:55, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Just want to congratulate whoever did those fantastic band member graphs. This is the kind of thing that makes Wikipedia great!!!

This seems to be causing some controversy. My vinyl copy has Bentley as the bassist on the album but the CD lists the bassist as Kakoulli as well as having what appears to be a photo of Kakoulli. Bearing in mind the CD has a year of 1991 I assume that the CD has it wrong and the vinyl is correct. It is also Bentley who appears in the videos for all the singles from the Cool for Cats album. Just to complicate matters further both the "Singles, 45s and Under" vinyl and CD list Kakoulli as the bassist and the book "Squeeze song by song" refers to the first recording made by the Bentley lineup as November 1979.
I think that A&M records made the original mistake and that everyone else has followed suit. I think Kakoulli was ousted after the FIRST album (Squeeze) NOT the second album (Cool for Cats). Anyone know for sure before I change it?89.241.47.244 (talk) 19:22, 10 January 2009 (UTC)NH[reply]
The discography could also use a section on live albums, not just LPs and singles. __209.179.51.170 (talk) 22:09, 24 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Should "Singles, 45s and Under" be mentioned in the discography? It has its own wiki page.
Are compilation albums generally included in discographies? It went platinum, I believe it's one of their best sellers.Magnabonzo (talk) 01:09, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
significant non-studio albums can be included on the artist's main page with consensus from other editors.

The first sentence says that "Squeeze are a British band.." but the article later says Squeeze disbanded in 1999. Should this not say, therefore, that Squeeze were a British band? Vorbee (talk) 09:16, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
He gets a mention in the story but is not included in the Timeline. Nick's own page describes him as a past band member, coming here I found it all a bit ambiguous & hard to get at. Just saying...86.148.15.250 (talk) 18:42, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
In the United States, Squeeze is known for Tempted and Pulling Mussels. These are the songs that receive radio play. I keep adding pulling mussels to the opening section of the article and it has been removed twice now by an editor Martinevans123. Pulling Mussels is their third most played song on spotify while neither "Hourglass" nor "853-5937" are in their top 10. Wikipedia is a living encyclopedia...hourglass and 853- may have been mtv-fueled hits but they are not what they are remembered for or known for. The very citation used to support the inclusion of hourglass and 853 mentions Pulling Mussels in its first paragraph as a notable song and doesn't mention either of these songs until its 6th paragraph, certainly giving the feeling that these are not their more popular songs.
It's doubtful that even D&T's parents could have cared about the mountain of trivialities in this entry. Can someone pare this down about 70 percent so it is as long as it deserves to be? No offense to Squeeze, not Squeeze, sort of Squeeze, actually not really Squeeze, and Squeeze again. Nicmart (talk) 01:31, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
