    What tunes by 10cc just blow you away every time you listen to them?

    For me:
    Somewhere In Hollywood
    Fresh Air For My Mama
    One Night in Paris
    Brand New Day
    Iceberg
    Old Wild Men

    Yeah I know that's basically greatest hits, however this is the one band where the deep cuts never seem to be the best of the best. Oh well.

    For that song to be a really good and catchy single, it is an incredible example of sonic experimentation. The layering of all their voices is just amazing.

    I'm not sure "blown away" is how I'd describe my response to their songs, but I
    like "Wall Street Shuffle", "Old Wild Men",
    "I'm Not In Love", "Gizmo My Way", "Art For Art's Sake", and a few others.
    Graham Gouldman is a great songwriter

    Lots of superb songs, but I’m Mandy Fly Me really tugs at the heartstrings.

    Saying that, the song that blows me away every time, is The Dean & I. Just perfect.

    I'm Mandy Fly Me is a fantastic song. Love the airport sounds with Clockwork Creep playing in the distant background before it kicks in with the drums and bass. What a band!

    The Original Soundtrack is one of my very favorite headphone listens. The whole disc is a tour de force.

    I enjoy the guitar solo. Reminds me a lot of Steve Howe.

    Well, all it has to be is melodic and catchy. And boy is it that.

    And it is certainly a marvel of studio wizardry.

    Channel Swimmer is an all-time favourite B-side and reminds me of someone from my dim distant past, even if she herself never swam the English Channel.

    Can't get enough of that one. Fantastic. And how it ends with the 'twinkle twinkle little star' melody. Very clever.
