I recently loaded some of their stuff into Rhapsody, I'm really feeling that one album For Your Pleasure 
I've always been a fan of that one track Slave to Love, after seeing 9 & a 1/2 Weeks for the first time, but that might be Brian Ferry's solo stuff.  | |

I was actually going to start a Roxy Music thread today. Not because I am a fan (yet), but because I saw some live performance of theirs from '73 today and i really liked it. I wanted more info about them in general, as I have only a very basic knowledge of them.

Thanks!!Really? Glad you're diggin' it. 
I just love Avalon. It's out on SACD now. The tunes, the whole atmosphere of the record. The Main Thing is just too cool sounding. tA  Tribal Disorder

Love Is The Drug...
"Avalon" is intoxicating. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

Slave To Love is on Bryan Ferry's Boys And Girls along with Don't Stop The Dance. tA Tribal Disorder

If you dig the calmer moments on the Robert Plant solo releases, you'll dig Avalon. tA Tribal Disorder

http://www.soundclick.com...rmusic.htm I don't listen to Robert's solo work. But do you think I'll dig Avalon anyway? "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

I alwys thought Japan's later work sounded a lot like Roxy Music. Try comparing Japan's "Gentlemen Take Polaroids" to "Avalon". NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

Yeah, you've got a decent set of ears.

Is that a sincere eye-pop, or are you just being facetious? "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

My fav song from them is "More Than This" off Avalon, which for me is also their best album (even though I own them all). | |

http://www.soundclick.com...rmusic.htm Definitely. Most of their albums are like that for me. They bring a wonderful sense of spontaneity to their soundscapes. "For Your Pleasure" is probably one of their most adventurous records, and the tracks could be instrumentals for all I care - they'd still be interesting and highly listenable. | |

I was actually thinking about starting a thread about them too.
Although I love the first 2 albums the most, I really appreciate most of their work. Something about Eno's influence on their early work kicks my ass. The fact that those records are from '72 and '73 boggles my mind. Yeah, they're quite glam in places and admittedly Bowie-esque, but they were way ahead of that curve. That synth/oboe solo in the middle section of "If There Is Something" remains one of the most astonishing moments in music history. | |

Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry - 
For anyone who's a serious music lover, you need to investigate! Everything's there: gorgeous/dreamy/futuristic songs, wonderful lyrics and, of course, Bryan's voice. I strongly recommend 'The Thrill Of It All' box-set. Bryan's 'Boys & Girls' album is also one of my all-time favourite albums. My mates think I'm a right old git for liking him (!) but it's superb. It could've been released yesterday - all his solo albums post-Avalon just have this timeless quality about them. And, as for 'Windswept' - that song gives the chills every time I listen to it. Beautiful. | |

Don't get me started on Roxy Music. One of my fave alltime bands. Love them to death. Especially with Brian Eno who I also dig as a solo artist. "Virginia Plain" and "Love Is The Drug" are just some of the great cuts. Huge influence on another great band, Chic. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."
