10 CC were a really good band.I remember seeing them as Hotlegs back in the very early seventies.Eric Stewart,Graham Gouldman, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme were a very talented bunch of musicians.But they kinda blew it mid seventies when Kevin Godley and Lol Creme decided to leave.Thier music,although still good,kinda went down hill after that.[br][br]I'm surprised at Graham Gouldman for saying that though.

@TM[br][br]I think that even Freddie would admit that there where better bands he was a fan of Jimmy Hendrikx and The Beatles himself
Don't bother trying to convince him. he is just narrow minded..[br]
I know and his brilliant music is not so brilliant, not really bad either, but it's always great to piss him off a bit :-)
TM is the most contradictive person on this message board so far.[br][br]If Queen and Freddie are the best at everything, why bother making music?[br][br]The way I read your 'opinions' and 'views' is that your and every other band is shit compared to Queen/Freddie.[br][br]Congratulations, you have just digged your own grave, smartiepants.[br][br]
Actually Graham has penned dozens of number 1's and hundreds of top 40 singles for many many bands. He has had a lot of chart success over the years.
As for TM well, he is not even worth responding to, the guy has no grip on reality whatsoever.
10CC as prominent band of 70'ies?
[p]Why not Sweet or Bay City Rollers then? Both of them had many hits and top albums as well.

[p]I think the problem is that any of just haven't pass the test of time as Queen.

I like 10cc music - Rubber Bullets especially - jealousy in society is rife my friend. Bitching and back stabbing is a human characteristic. Healthy I guess. In the words of Oscar Wilde "If there's anything worse than been talked about - it's not being talked about". Just about sums it up

10cc were good. Queen were better.

He can fuck off! he is the dirt under freddies shoes! NO BAND can ever beat Queen, there can be only 1 and that is Freddie, everyone else is below.

Freddie himself didn't go around saying "oh we're the best and those others bands can just kiss our shoes". If you respected Freddie at all I'd think you'd at least not act like a complete asshole as if no one can ever hope to compare to him. If he saw you talking like that he'd think you're full of it. Just like you claim you're second to queen or something. GIVE ME A BREAK!!!
I can't believe someone who;s supposedly in a band has no respect for other musicians. Sad really. :(
