Turn It Up To 11 @turnitupto11.bsky.social · 12d Last night, I gave 10cc's Original Soundtrack a spin. I believe it's their overall best work (yep, it's the one w/ I'm Not in Love). All the ingredients are here : superb vocal harmonies, melodic, warped sense of humour. Plus, the opener (Une Nuit a Paris) and closer (Film of my Love) are terrific.

Yep it’s good but prefer Sheet Music if only for the line “ Meanwhile in the cargo of escargot “ from Clockwork Creep . I remember one reviewer saying 10cc were Britains answer to Steely Dan which is a bit of a stretch musically but lyrically I can see it.
It's incredible that the classic 10cc lineup only released four albums, but what albums they were. For me, Sheet Music was their masterpiece, but any of the four could top the list.
film of my love is an all time fave
Banger
Fantastic album! And an exceptional cover
Yes my favourite also - The Second Sitting Of The Last Supper
Love this album. I think Paris has dated somewhat but all the others have improved with time. Blackmail is superb. The B sides, Channel Swimmer and Good News are excellent, too.
Fantastic album
Oh, the album where they went from a rock band to shite.
I would say their most ambitious album certainly. Sheet Music is my pick for their best album, but I respect your choice.
