"Sheet Music" is the second album by the British band 10cc. They are rightly regarded as one of the most creative and innovative bands of the 1970s, capable of effortlessly transforming the most complex structures into hit songs. If there was such a thing as the Beatles of the 1970s, then it was indeed Lol Creme, Kevin Godley, Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman. Whilst the band had merely hinted at their potential on their self-titled debut, it was here that the full breadth of their style unfolded for the first time: progressive pop in all its guises, spiced with intelligent, often highly ironic and pointed lyrics. The only other band that springs to mind is Gentle Giant, where all the musicians were accomplished multi-instrumentalists who could step into each other’s shoes at any time. The album features “The Wall Street Shuffle”, one of the band’s biggest hits, but the best tracks tend to be deep cuts such as “Clockwork Creep”, "Somewhere in Hollywood" and “Silly Love”. Maybe it isn’t even the best work from this four-piece line-up – which was soon to split into 10cc and Godley & Creme – but it surely is an impressive testament to the band’s boundless creativity.
