That is a good song but also that is a song of which I never knew the name of the artist who recorded it.

You need to listen to "Into Dust"

I can almost say Matthew Sweet for this thread but he has two songs I'm aware of and like a lot.

Then I would have to delete my post and it would be as if this conversation never happened. If the conversation is what led me to Into The Dust, but it's as if it never happened, things would start to get real trippy around here.

I was about to make an English Beat post for this very reason.

I feel like there's going to be a lot of crossover between this thread and whatever one hit wonder thread(s) we have if we're not careful. I would only consider putting artists in this thread if the majority of music fans celebrate the artists's entire catalog while you don't. Are there a lot of hardcore Squeeze fans out there?
Yes this is an important distinction to make.

Wow both of those Squeeze songs are good.

I’ve heard “Tempted” but I probably would have (without confidence) guessed it was Clapton, with gun to my head.

The Pixies - Where Is My Mind?

This was on many burnt mix cds back in the early 00s because of the movie Fight Club. I know they have a decent following but I’ve never bothered to jump in. Should I?

The above sentence kind of has an Argo vibe to it.
