There's rather too much method behind the madness -- deliberately humorous -- to be really insane (in a literal sense), but I do know what you mean ;) and it's fun stuff (I, on the hand, am rather more insane). I wonder if another rather crazy, or tongue-in-cheek band, the Cardiacs were influenced by 10cc (as well as other humorous ones). Thanks for the clip. I didn't really know 10cc and just found out what the spunky band name references). I used to like Roxy Music's debut. I won't vote due to lack of familairity with 10cc, but will be looking into the band.

more crazy music
and also 10cc knows how to make a epic song, thye are the poppy equivlent of Gentle Giant
also Eric Stewart is the most underrated singer/guitarist in rock, this comes from a Roger Hodgson fan , Erics singing voice is really good, and his guitar technique and guitar (Gibson les paul ,) is stunning

Roxy Music always had strong prog credentials with Davy O'List,John Wetton and Eddie Jobson in their line up at one time or another.''Viva! Roxy Music'' is one of my favourite live albums.
10CC were a very clever pop band. Quite fond of them especially thanks to Rubber Bullets which seemed very important to me at the time.
Sparks were the other clever pop band of the time.This Town Aint Big Enough For The Both Of Us another brilliant art pop/rock hit from that time.

I prefer 10CC (art rock) somewhat above Roxy Music (fashion rock).
yup, 10CC no match (i'd have included Queen in this poll as well)
Actually there are only two roxy albumùs worth hearing... the first two with Eno... the rest is insipid pop with a crooner boy ahead of the band.
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

I voted for 10cc, because of the talents and inventive nature of the band members and what they produced; but Roxy had far more style and the bravery to challenge the mainstream of their time, so it was a difficult choice.
