Sheet Music is the second studio album by the rock band 10cc from Manchester . It was released in 1974 and contained the hit singles " The Wall Street Shuffle " and "Silly Love". The album reached number 9 on the UK chart and number 81 on the US Billboard 200 album chart .

In a 2006 interview, ex-drummer Kevin Godley nominated Sheet Music as the band's favorite album. He said: "We had really started to be creative and not recognize borders. We were all attuned to each other and explored our common and individual abilities. We had a lot of energy on this recording and an innocence that was open to anything."

Graham Gouldman said he thinks Sheet Music is the best 10cc album. On the band's website he writes: "Our best album that 10cc has embodied. Unique songwriting and production."
