| 10cc are prog in my opinion, especially albums like How Dare You, Original Soundtrack, and Deceptive Bends. |

In my opinion they aren't prog, maybe a little bit prog related |

Hmmm, 10cc did that ultra-poppy, ultra-syrupy "I'm Not in Love" pop song

Very clever pop, but not prog in any way whatsoever - mind you, there was that Godley/Creme triple concept album Consequences (look it up if you don't believe me!). They were also responsible for Neanderthal Man by Hotlegs, which has to be worth something. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...'

No.(Art Rock-ish)
They were the musicians on Ramases 1st album,Space Hymns. If 10cc were a a prog band,so then were Wings. 10cc were a 'clever' rock band.The closest to prog that they got was Sheet Music which,sort of sounds like an Art Rock album anyway. -------------

Definitely Prog related, especially LP's Original Soundtrack & How Dare You. Even though I'm Not In Love is a trite "poppy" it's done in an innovative way using multi-layered voces. They even invented their own instrument - The Gizmo - which Godley & Creme showcased on their tripple album Consequences featuring the ramblings of UK comic Peter Cook - now if that's not progressive?!?!

This has been discussed before in the past. Indeed not prog at all but as some say they are mainly closer to Prog related/Art Pop music. ------------- CYMRU AM BYTH

Art Rock. I still like them.
Godley & Creme's Conesquences & L were prog. ------------- Trust me. I know what I'm doing. |

Well our internal collab poll did have them accepted as future inclusion in prog-related ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Late addition from me ... I'm browsing Erik Neuteboom's reviews & perchance what do I see - 10CC ! I was sure they would have been considered too poppish for some our more esoteric members. Now for me to go back, re-listen to the albums for the umpteenth time & come back with a review. Art Rock would have been the perfect tag. ------------- "Here I am talking to some of the smartest people in the world and I didn't even notice,” Lieutenant Columbo, episode The Bye-Bye Sky-High I.Q.

| I think it's best just to close this one Raf, as the decision has long since been made. As you say, 10CC can of course be discussed in the PP/PR section. |
