Wednesday, May 25, 2005Song Of the Day: May 25, 2005Unlike many of his neo-mod contemporaries, Anthony Meynell was able to do more than make a couple of good singles that sounded like the (early) Jam; his later efforts blended the Byrds and Beatles into a then-contemporary sound that sometimes suggested Big Star. While this early 45 is overtly mod-ish, it suggests that Meynell could work a pop hook, whereas so many lesser Weller wannabes relied entirely on anthemic chants.

The only other Squire song that I heard before this was "Don't Cry to Me," which is a heck of a lot closer to the early Beatles than the Jam (and also illustrates the incontrovertible principle that every song can be made better by the use of backing handclaps). This song sounds pretty good, too.
Their first songs remind me more to Early Who.....
