Sometimes I wright about bands that are not my favorites, but that had several nice songs. 10cc is one of them. I own not a single record of theirs, but always thought that they were pretty good. Not spectacular, but pretty good. I am a casual listener, and until I began my research I did not even realize that they from the United Kingdom.
I should have known because of the song Rubber Bullets, but they use them here as well. They were really pretty good, and at their best could express emotion extremely well, to the point of causing tears now and then. Nothing like The Who, but still pretty good.
What I intend to do tonight is just to give a short survey of 10cc, not a deep analysis like I do with The Who. I am sure that many of you are bored with my long and ponderous explication of the work from The Who, so this is sort of a break from it. Also, I am changing my convention for names of bands, albums, and songs. As before, the name of the band will always be in bold, and the name of the album in italics. Starting now, the names of individual songs will be in italics, but with “quotation marks before and after” to do a better job of distinguishing the songs from the albums.
