I read an article in the new Uncut about them and they were raving about their 1974 album "Sheet Music". It naturally peaked my curiosity and i listened to a copy and was impressed. But what really got me was the similarity to DA era Horrendous Disc. Is this a valid note, or am i just crazy? Curious what other people think, if anything. rob 06-25-2003 10:45 JR88 Disjasked Lerna Registration Date: 05-01-2003 Posts: 4,896 Location: The Earth Household. never heard of them. I'll do some poking around to find some samples. __________________ 06-25-2003 10:48 carl Platyhelminth Registration Date: 03-15-2002 Posts: 6,960 My opinion....        There's something kind of gross about Dr. Sticky posting a thread about 10cc, don't you think? (truthfully, don't know them past the hits.... and the rather cool Animalympics soundtrack from ages ago now....) __________________ 06-25-2003 10:51 Dr. Sticky Mind Peach Registration Date: 03-14-2002 Posts: 111 Location: lexington, ky Thread Starter quote: Originally posted by carl There's something kind of gross about Dr. Sticky posting a thread about 10cc, don't you think? 06-25-2003 13:04 JR88 Disjasked Lerna Registration Date: 05-01-2003 Posts: 4,896 Location: The Earth Household. quote: Originally posted by Dr. Sticky quote: Originally posted by carl There's something kind of gross about Dr. Sticky posting a thread about 10cc, don't you think? __________________ 06-25-2003 13:10 Woggy Platyhelminth Registration Date: 03-13-2002 Posts: 6,079 Location: "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." ~~ Albert Einstein Didn't they do that song "I'm Not in Love"? yes, they did............ don't know much about them, but THIS is a very cool lyric of one of their songs: Peace In Our Time Thank you for the gift The freedom to wonder In search of the light Are we gonna let it shine Forgiveness is the key The perfect emotion Will you show us the way To peace in our time Where the wild wind blows The deserts are shiftin' And the seed will grow In the sands of time From the darkest night A new day is dawning It's a long long way To peace in our time Tell me where can we find Peace in our - in our time Where can we find Peace in our time From a distant shore Voices are crying Can you hear them call Are we gonna light their way Salvation is the key We have to keep tryin' What we need right now Peace in our time Tell me where can we find Peace in our - in our time Where can we find Peace in our time Thank you for the chance To light up the darkness Leading the way Show us to the promised land Tear down these walls That keep us imprisoned What we're prayin' for Is peace in our time Tell me where can we find Peace in our - in our time Where can we find Peace in our time __________________ 1 John 2:6 Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did. 06-25-2003 14:49 HEMISPHERICALHEADS Ceremonial Kernel Registration Date: 06-07-2003 Posts: 2,324 Location: Motor City "the things we do for love?" 06-25-2003 15:12 Woggy Platyhelminth Registration Date: 03-13-2002 Posts: 6,079 Location: "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." ~~ Albert Einstein like walkin' in the rain and the snow when there's nowhere to go when you feel just like a part of you is dyin' and you're lookin' for the answer in her eyes you think she wants to break up and she says she wants to make up.. ooooooooooooo, you made me love you ooooooooooooo, you've got a way ooooooooooooo, you have me crawlin' up the walls.............

Anyway, off the top of my head: Fairly clever pop band from the '70s (mostly), the members of which also wrote a number of songs for others ("For Your Love" -- or, rather, "FawYawLove" -- would be a prime example). I found this summary as well: "10 CC were a British band formed during the heydays of progressive-rock and hard-rock by four veteran songwriters and multi-instrumentalists: Graham Gouldman (author of the Yardbirds' masterpieces and of several Hollies' hits, and of one solo album, The Graham Gouldman Thing, in 196 , Lol Creme, Eric Stewart (who in 1965 had topped the charts with with the Mindbenders' Game Of Love) and Kevin Godley. "They debuted with the demented bubblegum hits There Ain't No Umbopo (credited to the Crazy Elephant) and Neanderthal Man (1970), from the album Songs (Fontana, 1970) credited to the Hot Legs. They then changed name to 10CC for Donna (1972), the retro` ballad that established them at top of the charts and that coined their kind of parodistic kitsch. The album 10cc (Mercury, 1973) spawned another hit, Rubber Bullets (a hilarious spoof on Jailhouse Rock) and The Dean And I. "After offering more of the same with Sheet Music (1974), in particular the Wall Street Shuffle, and experimenting with even crazier arrangements, the foursome embraced the high-tech studio a` la Sparks and turned The Original Soundtrack (1975) into a stylistic tour de force, albeit still rooted in their weird sense of humour and in their poppy melodies. I'm Not In Love (a far more serious ballad, written by Gouldman and Stewart, and featuring a glittering sound that was the result of a veritable studio collage) even became a hit, while the extended collages of Une Nuite A Paris (a sort of grotesque operetta a` la Queen) and Life Is A Minestrone straddle the line between Frank Zappa's operettas and the Beatles' Abbey Road. "Cartoonish wit and four-part vocal harmonies made them quite unique in their age, occasionally worthy successors of the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band. How Dare You (1976), which includes the self-parodistic Art For Art's Sake and I'm Mandy Fly Me, Godley and Creme launched a separate career with the triple-album rock opera Consequences (Polydor, 1976), that used a new technique to produce symphonic, choral and natural sounds, and pretentiously bizarre albums such as L (197 , Freeze Frame (Polydor, 1979), containing An Englishman In New York, Ismism (1981), Birds Of Prey (1983) and Goodbye Blue Sky (Polydor, 198 ; while 10cc continued with Deceptive Bends (1977), Bloody Tourists (197 , with Dreadlock Holiday, Look Here (1980), 10 Out of 10 (1981), Windows In The Jungle (1983), totally ignored despite Food For Thought. "The foursome reformed the original 10cc for the terrible Meanwhile (Phonogram, 1992). Then the two couples continued their separate adventures, 10cc releasing Mirror Mirror (Avex, 1995) and Godley/Creme concentrating on their successful career as directors of videos. Images (Spectrum, 1993) is an anthology of Godley and Creme." __________________ 06-26-2003 08:14 jiminy Tallowy Tamale Registration Date: 11-16-2002 Posts: 9,494 hey- guess I was wrong- I DO recognize one of their songs- and how fitting (for a caveman like me) I'm a neandrethal man Your a neandrethal girl Lets make neandrethal love In our neandrethal world..........
