Good time to discuss how underrated 10cc were?
I probably know about 3 or 4 10cc songs and I liked what I heard but for some reason never had any inclination to seek out anything further.

I'm never disappointed to hear "The Dean and I"

Load of shite. Agreed.
It's the devotion of its audience that confuses me the most. There are all kinds of crappy shows that people watch but acknowledge are pretty crappy—but still entertaining—but BBT fans talk about it like it's really well-written and performed. They don't treat it as a guilty pleasure but as something exceptional. I do not understand that one bit.
Yeah and worse is when you have someone who you hold so.e respect for and then profess love for it. I had one coworker tell me it was the smartest show on TV and tried to imply that I was perhaps not smart enough to truly get the humor.
Everyone knows the smartest show on TV was Frasier and that can never be topped, especially not by the charlatans at The Bang.
I like Frasier. Very human, very funny show. But its clever clever references were still nothing to do with the show. It was the same mad libs as the Big Bang Theory. One would Wikipedia something about X Men for a punchline, the other would natter something about Italian opera or fine furniture.
Of course—anyone can pull an encyclopedia of wine out and make a decent joke, but it takes a deeper knowledge of sibling rivalry to make it truly classic.

I'm in the same boat. I've never heard many songs, but I've always liked what I've heard. Maybe I'll spin them up on Spotify one of these days.

It didn't get any votes, but Super Trouper is a damned catchy song. ABBA had some really fantastic songs.

Brilliant band and I really like Super Trouper. Not their best but still a great pop song.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I don't dislike it, but it's not memorable or insanely catchy like their finest work.

Strongly agree with the last sentence but Super Trouper does little for me, and I find the opening very grating.

These are essential if you ever fancy a listen.

Mention of 10CC makes me think of this.
