10cc is an English rock band that carved a niche for themselves in the music industry with their blend of art rock, pop, and cleverly crafted soft rock songs. Founded in Stockport in 1972, the core lineup comprised four talented musicians - Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley, and Lol Creme - each of whom brought strong songwriting and multi-instrumental skills to the group. Known for their studio ingenuity and satirical lyricism, 10cc enjoyed significant commercial success in the 1970s with hits like "I'm Not in Love" and "Dreadlock Holiday," the latter evident in live renditions like "I Don't Like Cricket (I Love It) [Dreadlock Holiday] [Live Version]".

Despite numerous lineup changes and a brief disbandment in the early 1980s, the band's influential sound continued to resonate with audiences. Albums like "Sheet Music" and "The Original Soundtrack" with the bewitching ballad "I'm Not In Love" helped cement 10cc's reputation for their quirky creativity and sophisticated pop sensibilities. Throughout their career, they released a slew of albums including "Windows In The Jungle" and "Meanwhile" that showcased their evolving style, blending classic pop with more contemporary elements to always stay relevant. With a discography that is revisited and celebrated by new generations, as seen in collections like "Anthology," 10cc's legacy as innovative pop-rock craftsmen is well-secured in music history.
