10cc are an unusual style British Rock/Pop band that produced some of the most memorable music of the 1970s decade. The nearest equivalent sound of a U.S. band is probably Supertramp. 10cc are perhaps more mellow and arty in their sound, Supertramp are more punchy and soft rock sounding.
The original members of the band were Kevin Godley, Lol Creme, Graham Gouldman and Eric Stewart. Godley and Creme went on to form their own group called "Godley & Creme" and perhaps more importantly also became a multi award winning video directing partnership that was responsible for some of the greatest music videos of all time including their own Godley & Creme hit "Cry" and most notably for the video of Herbie Hancock's 1984 massive hit "Rocket" which featured robotics.
(This very best of album includes the Godley & Creme "Cry" which is a nice bonus)
Back to 10cc.....
The period from 1972 to 1979 was when in my opinion their output was at its absolute peak and many great songs were released. Their most recognisable are "I'm Mandy Fly Me", "Dreadlock Holiday", "I'm Not In Love" and "The Wall Street Shuffle".... my favourite though is "The Things We Do For Love"
The only obvious negative is that the superb "Feel The Benefit" is not on this album but the album is still so great that you won't miss the benefit of not having it included!

Like MI9to5 says, you really need to include some info about the songs (good job I know what they sound like already - well, apart from "People In Love", which I can't recall). Can't see why "Cry" should be on this - why isn't anything by Wax?
