I'm seriously going to have to think about this one!

― The Jupiter 8 (Turrican), Tuesday, 18 September 2012 21:20 (thirteen years ago)

Kinda stumped myself. Albums aren't this good very often.

In Quintessence
Runner up: Mumbo Jumbo
2nd runner up: Piccadilly, Someone Else's Heart, Woman's World, Messed Around, Is That Love?

Still can't believe that "Tempted" didn't go Top 40 U.S. (#49), but it's their most popular song.

In Quintessence is up there for my favorite Squeeze song in general, but Piccadilly is a jam too

― fadanuf4erybody, Wednesday, 19 September 2012 04:14 (thirteen years ago)

"Labelled with love" though. Never liked it.

― Mark G, Wednesday, 19 September 2012 06:08 (thirteen years ago)

The world would vote "Tempted"

Voted "Is that love"

― Mark G, Wednesday, 19 September 2012 06:09 (thirteen years ago)

Quite amazed at how good this LP still sounds. Every song a gem on side 1. Then this on side 2, which got my vote.

Voted "Is That Love?" but feel like I've just knifed 10 much loved songs in the back.

― Jeff W, Wednesday, 19 September 2012 18:12 (thirteen years ago)

went "Labelled with Love"

― kizz my hairy irish azz (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 19 September 2012 18:29 (thirteen years ago)

Went for Piccadilly, but it could have been Mumbo Jumbo, Women's World, In Quintessence or possibly even something else. Phenomenal album.

― 'Separate Lives', by Phil Collins & Marilyn Manson (PaulTMA), Wednesday, 19 September 2012 18:31 (thirteen years ago)

Is that Love? worthy of Lennon

― Dr X O'Skeleton, Wednesday, 19 September 2012 22:17 (thirteen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

― System, Thursday, 20 September 2012 00:01 (thirteen years ago)

have to admit i'm not really too fond of this album, putting it on just kinda makes me wish I was listening to Arby Bargy instead. gonna vote for "Tempted" since i always liked that one more than most Squeeze fans seem to.

― some dude, Thursday, 20 September 2012 06:38 (thirteen years ago)

If the world will vote Tempted, consider me part of that world. Still unfuckwithable.

Runners-up: In Quintessence, Woman's World, Vanity Fair, Messed Around

Vanity Fair and Woman's World are an odd and gutsy sequencing choice: two consecutive stylistic departures/experiments to close the album. Who would try that today, let alone pull it off as well as Squeeze did?

― SlimAndSlam, Thursday, 20 September 2012 11:28 (thirteen years ago)

I meant Vanity Fair and Messed Around as the closing pair. Need coffee.

― SlimAndSlam, Thursday, 20 September 2012 11:28 (thirteen years ago)

.. in bed?

― Mark G, Thursday, 20 September 2012 11:30 (thirteen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

― System, Friday, 21 September 2012 00:01 (thirteen years ago)

yep.

― Mark G, Friday, 21 September 2012 07:56 (thirteen years ago)

ha! i also voted 'is that love?'. fun album though i do prefer argybargy.

― balls, Friday, 21 September 2012 08:03 (thirteen years ago)

Rather surprised I was the only vote for Piccadilly.

― 'Separate Lives', by Phil Collins & Marilyn Manson (PaulTMA), Friday, 21 September 2012 13:17 (thirteen years ago)

And that there were none for Woman's World.

― 'Separate Lives', by Phil Collins & Marilyn Manson (PaulTMA), Friday, 21 September 2012 13:17 (thirteen years ago)

^this

― Jeff W, Friday, 21 September 2012 19:12 (thirteen years ago)
