10cc was a quirky little British based band in the 1970's that had a few massive pop hits like "I'm Not in Love" and "The Things We Do For Love".
Here's a selection I bet you have never heard before. It's said to have been the inspiration for "Queen" to write "Bohemian Rhapsody".
It's been a favorite of mine since hearing it in the '70's while working in summer stock theatre. The costume designer had a few of 10cc's cassette tapes(!!!)and played them often in the costume shop.
Other 10cc offerings beyond their big hits........
What often overlooked band do you enjoy from your past?
Sluggy
you are correct! I have never heard it before and I can see where Queen could have been inspired by it. There are similarities .
ReplyDeleteTalk about serendipity! I am watching the 2019 Great British Menu series this week. The theme is 50 years of British music. 10cc was one of the bands mentioned and I had to google them although I am of that generation.
ReplyDeleteI loved Golden Earing- still a good head banging band.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of 10cc before. I spent the 70's having babies and raising them. I don't remember much popular culture...lol. I can see how that inspired Queen.
ReplyDeleteVery overlooked....D.L. Byron. He had a hit called No Romance, No Weekend. I played his album, "This Day and Age," to death. He also wrote Shadows of the Night which was a big hit for Pat Benetar.
ReplyDeleteI'm a child of the 70s, so I've never heard of this band. I love Average white band. I love jazz & jazz fusion & never knew it was a bunch of white guys performing songs like Pick up the pieces & Atlantic avenue. I only learned about them when we were on vacation last summer, cause I was singing Atlantic avenue while we were at the beach...lol
