I'm not in Love- the 10cc Story

[Priory Doctor]

Cracking documentary on BBC 4 last night. Great back catalogue from all members- probably the cleverest band since The Beatles.

Kevin Godley came across as the kind of feller you would love to have a few pints with.

Was going to watch it on catch up but you've put me off after that absurd comment 

[Mook]

I don't like cricket.

[halewood pete]

I love it

[halewood pete]

I love it

I also think 10 c.c.were a great band

[Sputnik1]

I'm not in love was a great single, although for all his protesting I get the feeling he actually still is was love. 

[Nunavut Patrick]

Everytime I hang a picture I think of this song.

They were a tremendous band though very much of their time. You don't see them mentioned much now even though they deserve to be, almost as if they've been forgotten.

Sheet Music was a genuinely great album which everyone seemed to have at the time. Don't know if it stands the test of time because I haven't played it for years.

Think I might you-tube or Spotify the tracks from it it to find out.

As for cleverest band since The Beatles, well that's a matter of opinion but, they were one of quite a few bands over the years who were given the "New Beatles" moniker, along with the likes of ELO and Squeeze.

Not quite The Beatles but very good.

[King Emlyn]

Name checked on losing my edge so they were clearly good.

[cloggypop]

Out of all the bands named after the average amount of human male ejaculate I prefer The Loving Spoonful.

[FanchesterCity]

Graham Gouldman wrote hits for loads of people including the Yardbirds, Hermans Hermits and The Hollies. Genuine talent that bloke.

 

Great band, and yes, on a par with ELO and Queen for creativity and varied style that pleased the musos and the masses.

You have nasty stains on your walls?

My 10cc can go quite far.

In my hungover condition,I should have really said that in their day ,they were the cleverest and most innovative since The Beatles. I agree about ELO and Squeeze being excellent, by the way.

spunk rock

Was never into them , although some good songs wrote for various others. Can't stand that Not In Love and its.pretty dire when its on the jukebox and you're at the bar on your own staring at.the optics , especially when the dreamy bit comes.on , ssh don't cry and all.that.

Cuck all that and as.being as.influential.as the Beatles , I don't think so.

[stringvest]

Great band. Godley/Creme/Stewart/Goldman. When Godley and Creme left, that was the first of what later came to be known as the Beady Eye syndrome.

As it isn't exactly a song that kicks ass, I went looking for a thread to post this. Seems an appropriate spot.

[halewood pete]

Big fan of them back in the day .Every song totally different,some great LPs

I think this sums up how good they were when their members made contributions with and towards other artists. Its a big part of what made the Beatles so great.

Just doing a bit of reading on the song: started out life as an bossanova instrumental.

 

That's quite an evolution.

[sir roger]

Saw them a few times back in the day & then a few years back ( the night of the Chelsea FA Cup final ) at the Phil. Don't have Godley & Crème any more but are always excellent.
