We don't get very much Art-Rock around here and its about time we at least let you hear some from the very best who have created it.
For the most part, 10cc featured two strong songwriting teams, one 'commercial' and one 'artistic', but both teams injected sharp wit into lyrically dextrous and musically varied songs. Stewart and Gouldman were predominantly pop-song-writers, who created most of the band's accessible songs. By way of contrast, Godley and Creme were the predominantly experimental half of 10cc, featuring an Art School sensibility and cinematic inspired writing. Every member was a multi-instrumentalist, singer, writer and producer. Most of the band's albums were recorded at their own Strawberry Studios (North) in Stockport and Strawberry Studios (South) in Dorking, with most of those engineered by Stewart.

Never could get into this band, and once I tried to listen to those 4 songs I now recall why.
Sorry Scott. Just not my barrel of beer!
"Art rock"...explain that to me. I don't think I've heard that term before. Who else would fall under this category? Thanks.
Its in the "ear" of the beholder... haha, kidding, but theres a whole WIki page for this. Check it out..

Now THAT is my kind of music!
What a collection of groups, and such an exciting incredible time for this little dude to be listening.
I notice it mentions Steve Miller, and I just recently talked about him doing "concept" albums before his big success, in one of the John & Mary episodes.
We must be on some sort of telepathic vibe ... Very cool stuff posting on here lately.
Yes, I do feel a certain vibe with some of the guys here.
And it's good to be telepathic instead of sociopathic...that definitely shows improvement on my part, LOL!

Link takes me to an error page...

Yeah, they were a band that I always thought were considered art rock but survey says NO.
"Is Sparks a band"?
Scott, I'm dissapointed:
