10 cc in PA

   I'd put them in the same category as Supertramp.  Up through "How Dare You" they were art-rock on the edge of prog.
Now Godley & Creme's first three, "Cosequences", "L" and "Freeze Frame" are definitely prog.

	Never heard the remotest prog in anything 10CC did - they are just well written, intelligent pop.

	I feel 'The Original Soundtrack' is an album right up there with anything Queen recorded- clever, musically quite ornate and intricate, lyrically often wry and amusing, first class production but with a pop sensibility that will ultimately put die-hard proggers off them. Still though, their first few albums are great for the open minded prog fan, and IMO definitely prog related if ever there was a band that could be called that. 'How Dare You' is a more musically developed album but some of their quirkiness is sacrificed a little at times on that, imo. Still a great album though.

	Perhaps when doing reviews of such albums put e.g. *** for album content and e.g. for prog content. That should apply to 10cc'a later "things we do for love" type material

	So 10cc is in PA (I remember Maani asking for that) What is the best (more prog, if you want) of 10cc for you? If you want to, tell us why you consider (or don't) 10cc prog-related.
