10cc
In the '70s, they didn't come any better than 10cc. Lol Creme, Kevin Godley, Graham Goudman and Eric Stewart had worked together and apart for years (Frabjoy & Runcible Spoon, Hotlegs) before finally coalescing as 10cc. The band's first single, "Donna," nearly topped the UK charts; the followup, "Rubber Bullets," did. By the mid 70s, the band was a US sensation as well ("I'm Not In Love," "The Things We Do For Love"). Godley and Creme split to confound audiences with the triple-album Consequences while Gouldman and Stewart soldiered on; 1980's dismal Look Hear? signaled the beginning of the end. Despite a couple of attempts to revive the band in the 90s, nothing save maybe G&C's Ismism (aka Snack Attack) comes close to their classic work.
