10CC - Sheet Music: A worthy successor to The Beatles?

This week, Tim analysed the second album by 10cc, Sheet Music. Topics covered include: whether the band has trademarks or not, the influence of Caribbean music on the band, the use of satire in the album, the different writing combinations within the group, the complexity of their harmonic and melodic writing and where this album stands in their canon. Also, are 10cc as funny as The Bonzo Dog Band? Which is the most Shakespearean track on the album? Is it a good idea to anthropomorphise a plane? Are there any pop albums that contain more songs about the oil crisis than this one? Can Tim make his way through the album’s complicated chord sequences without embarrassing himself? And who is that at the door?
