^ huh? I find you incredulous. That's like you saying you studied American History at Harvard and never heard of Benjamin Franklin before until you saw a PBS special about him and thought he was "banging."

99% of the songs 10cc wrote were silly, tongue-in-cheek songs. But the one song that garnered them posterity in the US ironically was a serious anti-love song. It has one of the most incredible backing vocal tracks ever recorded.

albums:
10cc
The Original Soundtrack (especially for the song I'm Not in Love)
Deceptive Bends

songs:
Johnny Don't Do It
The Dean and I
Rubber Bullets
The Worst Band in the World
I Bought A Flat Guitar Tutor
I'm Not in Love
Things We Do for Love

Graham Gouldman pre 10cc days wrote songs for the Yardbirds, The Hollies, etc
For Your Love
Heartfelt of Soul
Bus Stop
