    There is no band hipper and cooler than Roxy. They did the impossible, they were trendy, technically superb, original, commercial, and noncommercial; and they did it all with a thoroughly enjoyable sense of humor. Their musical style cannot be classified because they changed so much over time. Each phase was a joy to listen to. You'll need to listen to the earlier material to get an idea of what I mean. Just great stuff.

    Listen to this three times and you will be a changed person forever. The violin solo at the end by Eddie Jobson is flying on the back of a teradactyl chasing monsters. It's the one tune I never get tired of since 1975.

    I saw Roxy Music perform this, in Chicago in 1974, with Eddie Jobson playing that solo on an acrylic violin. A bright white spotlight was laser beamed focused on him and at his feet were low and subtle multicolored lights that produced a prism effect. Mind Blown!! I saw them perform this song on later tours but sadly the violin solo was replaced with a guitar solo. It did not have the same powerful impact. However, the last time I saw Roxy Music, again in Chicago 2001, they had keyboardist and violinist Lucy Wilkins who absolutely nailed this amazing solo. Roxy Music Live at The Apollo is a must have DVD/CD

    Dude, you and the recommender found a gem. This song's ending is as ferocious and juicy as all get-out. I am currently in a Roxy phase. Can't stop buying their albums. So good to know there's great stuff out there that I've ignored for years b/c I just can't listen to the same old moldy songs over and over. Need new stuff and Roxy is new to me. You'd think their first two albums, with Eno, would be their best, but Ferry and Manzanera and co. kept it going real good. Cranked this up to 11 last night on my hi-fi.

      *Thank you*. I've been a Roxy Music fan for many years now,and I'm glad you're currently discovering their music. I feel envy in that it's all new to you now.It's always exciting to discover "new' old music Lol. I do much prefer their earlier albums,everything from the self titled debut from 1972 up until and including 'Siren' from 1975. I just feel that something was lost later on,but perhaps you'll feel differently. Anways enjoy your Roxy journey ! Take care !

    Wow, I didn’t expect to see anyone react to Roxy Music. Nicely done! This is such an interesting band with awesome & unique songs. Ferry, in my opinion, is one of the great frontmen of the era. If you wanted to delve further, a couple songs I’d recommend are ‘End of the Line’ & ‘Virginia Plain.’
    There are many others, of course. The early albums have the most Brian Eno influence, while the later albums are more driven by Bryan Ferry. Regardless of the era, they’re all great albums & this band was, and still is, highly influential to musicians, particularly in the U.K., where they’re incredibly popular to this day.

They covered a Neil Young song - 'Like a Hurricane' its really good, although I like Neils version just as much; both are great. I had the pleasure of seeing Bryan Ferry a few years ago.

    Perfect pick for this channel. John Gustafson was perhaps Roxy's best and most consistent studio bassist. They needed someone to tour in '75 and got John Wetton fresh off of recording Red with King Crimson. Roxy is where Wetton and Eddie Jobson first met, and the rest is history.

    Yes, Finally some Roxy music. My brother introduced me to them during the 80's new wave era. For me they are definitely one of the best bands of that era, just loved their sound, very creative band. Their most famous album I believe is "Avalon" and "Boys and Girls" by Bryan Ferry but don't quote me on that. Their top hits that come to mind is - More of This, Avalon, Slave to Love. I never heard this song, liked it a lot. I thought it was a guitar during the solo? Either way I liked it.

    Justin as you will have read by now, one of the most common notes here is about founding member Brian Eno, who left after two albums with Roxy Music. On his own albums he invented so-called New Age music and paved the way for New Wave Rock and Post-Punk. As a producer he cowrote and gave shape to some of the greatest albums by David Bowie, Talking Heads and U2, among many others.
    NASA hired Eno to compose and produce the music for their documentary film about the Apollo program to take humankind to the moon.
    Eno is arguably the single most influential person in the past 45+ years of Rock music history. No wonder there was not enough room for both Brians in Roxy Music.

    Roxy Music are so good, so entertaining. That's an oboe at the beginning of "Out of the Blue" from Andy Mackay , and yes, a violin solo from Eddie Jobson. I saw them live on their first American tour back in '72, I think. They were the opening act for Jo Jo Gunne and I had never heard of them before. Anyway, they impressed me and I purchased their first album, and the rest is history. I don't have a favorite song, as I'm fond of much of their material, but one song I must single out is "A Song For Europe". It is stellar.

    Very much glad that you jumped into old Roxy Music. You really should listen to the "Viva!" live album version of "If There Is Something". The best thing they ever recorded. Phil Manzanera is a Gilmour-level guitar player that doesn't get the same kind of recognition. And that violin from Eddie Jobson! th-cam.com/video/y0UvZIZLUTo/w-d-xo.html

    "More than this" is probably their most well known song in the US.

    Mother of Pearl...Roxy Music at its best. Best version is the Musikladen 1974-01-23 version. What lyrics, just the best ever from them and virtually any other band.

    One of most romantic songs I've ever heard. "Elating", that's the word. That violin solo is what I feel when I start crushing on someone. Freefalling / flying.
    Yes, "lush"! The sound is so rich, opulent, passionate

    I know their album Avalon by heart (and I am guessing most recommendations you get will come from that album), but had not heard this one before. I like it.

    I found the whole 1982 album Avalon to be seductive - probably Ferry's voice, the delays used on the guitars, the horns, and the production. Very smooth.

    I really appreciate that I learn new things about songs I have listened to since the 70's from your interesting analysis and breakdowns of these songs. I usually just listen and enjoy music with just a small amount of my own analysis of mostly the meaning or my interpretation of the lyrics. What I realized listening to this song with its beautiful sonic sound is that I need to stop being a cheapskate and get a top of the line set of headphones. hehe

    Eddie Jobson's contributions are overlooked. The atmosphere on Stranded and Country Life are because of his playing.

    Right now making my red wine chili. Only one home other than the guitar player upstairs. Was streaming a show on Amazon Prime. stopped to make the chili and now sitting down to watch you.
    Roxy Music is an aquired taste that I just couldn't aquire. If the song comes on, I'd never turn it off. But I'd never put it on either.

    I'm so grateful I grew up during the 60's and 70's listening to quality music like this. I pity the young today - actually since the 90's, because I can't think of any artists with the same originality as those days (maybe Dream Theater, but that's it). Roxy Music was quite controversial in my circles (of friends) and this album was much discussed along with T Rex and such.

    There is something I forgot in my first comment. Like many other groups Roxy Music had two different phases. They started innovative, unusual, unique, provoking, powerful. And then they had the nice to listen million selling chartfood tralala in the 80ies. Not one of their sweet hits has the quality that f. e. the unique melody line of "The Bogus Man" has. "Avalon", "Love is the drug" etc. do not hurt but they are far far away from uniqueness. "Virginia Plain" is not. Neither is "Remake/Remodel" or "Chance Meeting" or or or almost everything on their first albums. But then they were burnt out.

    The first two albums, One LP side reviewed as a whole to get a sense of the varition. Class act and totally groundbreaking.
