Squeeze, formed in 1974 by Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook, is a British pop band famous for hits like "Tempted" and "Cool for Cats." Influenced by the Beatles and the Kinks, they earned acclaim with clever lyrics and catchy tunes, despite limited U.S. success. Known for albums like "East Side Story," their 1987 single "Hourglass" reached the U.S. Top 20. The band's core pairing was likened to Lennon and McCartney. Collaborations included Jools Holland and Elvis Costello, cementing their status as pop pioneers. Their compilation "Singles 45's and Under" went platinum.
