10cc album poll

10cc is realy an awesome band with great tunes and catchy tunes, I like rock to be melodic, exentric sheerfull, and artsy. It is also nice with albums where you hear all the instrumens and all the little nuances. inventive recording technique.

They did use an unorthodox way of recording sounds. It seemed long ago that I read something about them using kitty litter on a kettle drum. Slamming the kettle drum and recording or creating the sound of a fireworks display......although, I may have the details wrong. Nevertheless, they applied other insane ideas in the studio anyway and were very crafty. Sometimes it's hard for me to imagine the 4 of them deriving from the British Invasion period. It's like comparing With the Beatles to Magical Mystery Tour. I remember 10CC doing live versions of Beatles songs. 10CC were Pop art or maybe they just wrote their hits naturally and didn't have to deal with the record company bugging the hell out of them. They really had something special to offer all on their own.

10cc!  Anything from the Godley and Creme era.  Perfectly walked the tightrope between prog and pop, not to mention their studio wizardry.....they were ahead of their time for sure.
