Squeeze: pick better stuff from their catalogue!

[not-too-old-to-play]

So I saw that "Tempted" was released as DLC...which is all well and good, but which means that the Squeeze songs in RB are: 1) Cool For Cats, a gimmicky track that is also a bit of a snoozefest to play, and 2) Tempted, which is pretty slow paced and isn't even sung by one of the two usual frontmen! I can understand picking the hits or easily-recognized songs from a group, but it's a shame that they didn't use some of their other singles which would be much more fun to play as a band.

I hope that this situation can be remedied with additional DLC. People are getting the wrong impression about Squeeze -- they can actually play rock music, I swear!

My suggestions:

Another Nail In My Heart (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6pUZNfzk3Q&feature=related)
Another Nail In My Heart -- featuring a nice guitar solo and drum/bass parts that would be at least decent
If I Didn't Love You (http://www.last.fm/music/Squeeze/_/If+I+Didn%27t+Love+You) -- nice drum, bass, and vocals
Is That Love? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD4RKwGyOV0)
Is That Love? -- crap video but nice vocals and guitar solo
Slightly Drunk (http://www.last.fm/music/Squeeze/_/Slightly+Drunk) -- lots of drum fills, several guitar solos, and just pretty amusing in general
Third Rail (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSYoWzytUuY)
Third Rail -- nice guitar riff and a vocal bit that would test anybody's ability to hold a note :D


Thoughts or reactions?

Indifferent to the others.

this and "up the junction" are the first that come to mind for me, though i'm slowly getting into more of their stuff.

Save it for when the mythical keytar peripheral comes out, so the keyboard parts aren't wasted. ;)

Also, "better" in this context means more fun in RB, not necessarily better/best songs. :D

I liked "In Quintessence" and "Hourglass."

I'm sorry but when i first heard "Tempted" I wanted to puke. Isn't that the song from a car or fruit of the loom commercial? ugh, worst rock band song...

Car Commercial, you mean Are You Gonna Be My Girl? Fruit of the Loom, same song. Any other possible type of commeciral... same song. Good thing we got it in RB though :)

As for Tempted, Burger King but worthy guess

Pulling Muscles (From the Shell) would make me cream my pants.

I'm not kidding.
