Tributeto10cc

It's too bad that in 1975 British band 10cc might have taken a break from having a wacky sense of humor and started concentrating on a serious relevant version of the bittersweet heartbreaking ballad, "I'm Not In Love", minus Kathy Redfern's self-parody and believe me it is 10 times better than the epic 6-minute version of that song with her part added.

"Art for Arts Sake" is a single by 10cc released in 1975. It was taken from the How Dare You! album.[1] It reached No. 5 on the UK singles chart. The title of the song derives from the fact that Graham Gouldman's father, Hymie Gouldman, often used to say "Art for art's sake, money for God's sake, okay".[2] Personnel Eric Stewart – lead vocal, electric and acoustic piano, six string and fuzz bass, lead guitar Graham Gouldman– electric guitars, third lead vocal and backing vocals, cow bell, tambourine Lol Creme – electric guitars, second lead vocal and backing vocals, maracas, Moog synthesizer, recorder Kevin Godley – drums, backing vocals, temple blocks

"The Wall Street Shuffle" is a single by the British pop/rock band 10cc released in 1974. The song originally appears on the band's 1974 album Sheet Music. It was the most successful single to be released from the album, reaching No. 10 on the UK chart. The song features a classic rock riff and lyrics that deal with Wall Street and the economy. It features several topical cultural references and specifically mentions Getty, Rothschild and Howard Hughes. The song remains popular with fans and is often performed live in concert. A live performance was included on the 2007 promotional live compilation The Best of 10cc Live.

Runaway is a 10cc single . It comes from their album Ten out of 10 . The single was only released in England. It is one of the songs written by Andrew Gold, Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman in the period that it looked like Gold became the producer of the album. That did not end and Runaway disappeared on the shelf, but appeared on the American version of the album. Runaway is used as Runaway (runaways) and Run Away (run away). The background choir is similar to the choir from I'm Not in Love . B-side was Action Man in Motown Suit , which featured both the European and American pressing of the album. Personnel: Eric Stewart: Lead Vocal, Guitar, Synthesizer, Backing Vocal Graham Gouldman: Bass, Backing Vocal, Guitar Andrew Gold: Backing Vocal, Electric Piano, Synthesizer, Percussion Michael Boddicker, James Newton Howard & Suzanne Ciani: Synclavier

Is released in 1988 as a single from the latest album Goodbye Blue Sky. With a seventeenth position in the Dutch charts, the song becomes a modest hit.

INCONSEQUENCES. This soft, fluffy ballad was floated as the first single from "Look Hear?", and promptly disappeared from the airwaves. It's not an awful song, in the same vein as "People In Love" and "For You And I", both of which were a blanching of something that used to be so colourful. As I've mentioned elsewhere, 1980 was a turning point where bands were either looking ahead or looking back. "It Doesn't Matter at All" is guilty of being nostalgic at a time when '10cc' could (should?) have embraced 'new wave' like 'Alice Cooper' ("Flush the Fashion") and Paul McCartney ("McCartney II"). There's also a video of the band lip-synching to this, in which you can clearly make out Eric Stewart's "Dracula" teeth, proving that all pop music is made by undead vampires who keep recycling the same melodies every hundred years (and harvest the organs of drummers, but that's another story). And so to the credits. Written by Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman, and engineered by Stewart and Tony Spath, it came out as a single release in 1980 through St Annes Music. However, in the UK it missed the chart completely. As it did when bypassing the Billboard Hot 100 in the USA. And Germany. It came out in Germany too, but couldn't even trouble their 7" listings either. Interestingly, when they toured in support of the album on which this track is featured, they included a giant reel-to-reel tape deck as a background feature on-stage. Which didn't even things out as far as this single was concerned.
