** The initial pre-chorus bridge ("if your mind is tripping...") in "The Sacro-Iliac" is heavily reminiscent of McCartney's "Long-Haired Lady".

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The recurring guitar riff on "Feel the Benefit" sounds a lot like the [[Music/TheWhiteAlbum "Dear Prudence"]] riff, and the closing section uses a similar progression to the fadeout of "Hey Jude". There are also some parts that are reminiscent of "Venus and Mars" by Music/{{Wings}}.

No longer a trope. YMMV also can't be Played With.


* FaceOfTheBand: Averted initially since the four founding members were basically equal. Eric Stewart became the unofficial face when Kevin Godley and Lol Creme left. Graham Gouldman has had the position since the 1999 reunion, largely because he’s the only remaining founder.

* SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound: The vocal harmonies of "I'm Not in Love", which were accomplished by overdubbing '''254''' vocal tracks using tape loops and other then-state-of-the-art equipment. A clear case of DoingItForTheArt, and one where it paid off extensively; it was a huge hit and is frequently regarded as one of the best-sounding songs of the '70s.

* SongAssociation: Most modern fans of 10cc were first introduced to the band by either ''WesternAnimation/{{Superjail}}'', which used "Rubber Bullets" as the opening theme for the pilot episode, or Music/JDilla's ''Music/{{Donuts}}'', which heavily sampled "The Worst Band in the World" and "Johnny, Don't Do It". For the latter, Creator/DaveChappelle has also introduced people to 10cc by proxy, due to using "Workinonit" as the theme to some of his modern skits. In 2014, "I'm Not in Love" got a noticeable boost in popularity from appearing on the soundtrack to ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy''.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: "I'm Not in Love" was inspired by Eric Stewart's wife, Gloria, who complained that he had stopped saying "I love you" as much as he used to. Stewart wrote the lyrics to say he loved her without actually saying "I love you." The lyric "I keep your picture on the wall" refers to an actual picture of Gloria. P.S. Eric and Gloria Stewart are still married, decades later.

* TearJerker: "Old Wild Men" wonders what happens to aging rock stars; "Don't Hang Up" has someone calling their ex to try and patch things up, only to be hung up on mid sentence.
