10Cc


"How Dare You!" is the fourth album by the British band 10cc, released in 1976. The album features notable UK hit singles such as "I'm Mandy Fly Me" and "Art for Art's Sake". This release marked the band's third collaboration with the Hipgnosis creative team for its cover artwork. Notably, "How Dare You!" is significant in 10cc's history as it was the last album to feature the original line-up of Eric Stewart, Graham Gouldman, Kevin Godley, and Lol Creme. Following the album's release, Godley and Creme departed from the band to pursue their own musical endeavors, forming the successful duo Godley & Creme. Despite their departure, the original four members briefly reunited for the 1992 album "...Meanwhile". "How Dare You!" is recognized for its eclectic musical style, blending pop, rock, and art-rock elements, and for its witty and sophisticated songwriting typical of 10cc's output. It remains a pivotal album in the band's catalogue, showcasing their versatility and creativity during their peak years in the 1970s.
