10cc were an English rock band consisting of four strong songwriters. Obviously this wasn't going to last, and in 1976 the art school side, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme, left the pop side, Graham Gouldman and Eric Stewart, to fend for themselves. Godley and Creme went on to successful musical duo adventures as well as directing iconic videos like Duran Duran's Girls on Film and Herbie Hancock's Rockit while Gouldman and Stewart continued on with 10cc trying to prove the critics wrong. They succeeded with flying colors with a pair of hit albums in the late 70s, including one of my favorite pop rock songs of all time, Dreadlock Holiday, and the yacht rock classic The Things We Do For love. Mostly they had great singles, but a few other gems were tucked away in these albums like the new wave-tinged track below, Honeymoon With Troop B.
