First time hearing ROXY MUSIC Love is the drug REACTION

Best band of the seventies
Better than Earth, Wind & Fire, Chic, Steely Dan and Queen? Be serious...
Vocalist Bryan Ferry has an amazing voice. One of the best in rock.
Crazy fact, he was initially recommended to Jimmy page to be the new vocalist for the yardbird's (led Zeppelin). Can you imagine that! I think Plant with Zep and Ferry with Roxy Music are both better fits.
I think so too. I am always surprised when I hear some reactioners say they don't like his voice at all, I think it is unique and wonderful.
This was from their 5th studio album in 1975. Originally a slower, dreamier track, they decided to up the tempo to fit in with new wave music.
Thanks goodness they did. It's bass line and groove gave them a number 2 hit. Brian Ferry's vocals are brilliant and the horn section grabs your attention. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Alison for a super memory. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Grace Jones recorded "Love Is the Drug" for her Warm Leatherette album from 1980
Huh???
Probably my favorite Roxy tune.It's got a funk to it I can't resist!
Everything they did was at least 5 years ahead of its time. There is NO band can touch early Roxy Music.
They still are ahead of their time!
Freaking classic!
This is a classic! Brilliant track❤🔥🔥🔥
Roxy music is great. I love this song too.
Roxy music ,Wow .Listen to their early stuff .Incredibly disturbing at times but always brilliant .Then their disco type stuff equally fantastic .More ROXY please .If There Is Something ,In Every Dream Home a Heartache ,Re-Make/Re-Model , Oh Yeah , Dance Away and many ,many more . Brian ferry is one of the most entertaining and brainbox song writers of all time .
Loved this band
One of the most distinct voices in the 80's. Beautiful singer. Yes I get the David Byrne reference. It's the vibrato in the voices but I can still tell the difference.
Brian Eno, the musical architect of this band collaborates a lot with David Byrne, well spotted. He had a big hand in some of Talking Heads most popular work. including their masterpiece album, Remain in light.
Woaw ❤❤❤ Loved this song 🥰😇 Loved Roxy Music 👍😉😇
Roxy Music as superheroes - great stuff! In reading about punk, I've learned that seeing Roxy Music for the first time had a dramatic effect on a lot of people, similar to seeing the Sex Pistols for the first time. For Roxy, their first appearance on TOTP was a revelation for the whole country (UK), and is available on TH-cam (the song is Virginia Plain). Also, Roxy Music and David Bowie were the only "old-timey" music punks could stand or condone, and both had a large influence on punk rock.
Loved Roxy Music back in the day Awesome voice.
I LOVE IT....reminds me of my teenage years. soooo good!
The band was a huge impact on the so called New Romantic movement of late 70's early 80's and bands like Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet etc. especially on the visual, modern glamorous image but also musically. Jamiroquai has done a live cover on this and Grace Jones did this on her album "Island Life".
The original is perfect just the way it is, but Grace Jones' cover is absolutely fantastic!
You'll enjoy More Than This as your next Roxy tune.
Love the bass🎸🎸🎸
Roxy music in every dream home . Is realy great
As a kid growing up in the 70s this was in fact a seminal piece of prenewwave newwave... first time i heard it ...i was hooked
Saw Roxy Music back in the 70's.
Thanks to my friend who was always up to the latest "left of center" music.
Mostly British Rock of the time.
Thanks for reporting on this song from the after point of view.
Have you done anything on 'The Tubes'?
'What do you want from life', was a bigger hit for them.
I love Roxy Music /Brian Ferry. My fave is ‘More Than This’ ❤
Oh NO. The live video is a must !!
Freakin LOVE this song!! ❤❤
An amazing band to see live too!
Definitely sounds like Talking Heads. Love it!
I’ve always loved this song and I’m aware that it’s from 1975 but it sounds more like 80’s music. I guess they were ahead of their time (or maybe I’m just crazy). Anyway it’s a great choice from Alison and nice summary from Harri. 🌺✌️
Roxy were always ahead of the curve.
Duran Duran admits they wouldn't exist without Roxy Music.
This is one of those songs you just wish you wrote its so good. Love the break down too ugh so jealous.
My fave line? "Oh-oh catch that buzz", haha! Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry are just too cool!
Loved this one, just a funky bad ass song.
Great song and insightful comments--thanks for bringing us this super well-produced song!
Great song, groovy beat
❤️❤️❤️
Siren was absolutely incredible. The bass and drums are just perfect, propelling every track into the stratosphere. The album really flows, bookended by this song and "Just Another High" making it kind of a concept.
I'm glad you like this song, Roxy Music has to be one of the greatest bands of all time, The cover version of this song you maybe thinking of was by Grace Jones.
You can say Talking Heads reminds you of Roxy Music.
Great band, fantastic club music ☮️
The bass and percussion are very funky. The brass has ska elements. Ferry's vocal narrative is very dystopian. You did well my friend taking this apart 👍
Very good tune! I love “Oh Yeah” and “Dance Away”.
Shoot…I totally forgot about this banger. Made my day! Thanks!
Looks Jerri Hall, the model, on this album’s cover
you mentioned Brian Eno at the end and he and David Byrne became good friends and did a lot of work together and it's all just fantastic. you know it's very involved with a lot of talking head stuff especially the Life During Wartime album. I strongly urge you to try Prairie Rose from there iconic Country Life album with the two ladies lying in grass and most of the albums that were released made it a bit less racy let's say. but I and really I think thousands and thousands of copies are out there if not more have the original release where are these women are not only scantily clad they pretty much have nothing on but it's artistically a fantastic photo! also if you look at the cover of my favorite album of theirs called siren which I think came right after Country Life, that is Jerry hill? I can't remember her name she was that amazing supermodel that was married to Mick Jagger for quite a while. that's her on the cover of it with that blue background and she's crouching like a siren on this boulder with ocean waves crashing across it. it's great. Prairie Rose is a total banger though. but then again every single song on that album is fantastic. but then again I say that about every album of there's from the first one through siren. and then I don't like Avalon as much but it is beautiful and I certainly never mind hearing it. but a lot of people only know that one and that's how they think of Roxy Music when that was just a very late effort that was very different from a lot of their other stuff and way more polished. better work in and of itself.
Avalon has a ethereal quality. Which makes it special
Pedantically Life During Wartime was a track/single from the 1979 Fear Of Music LP.
@@briangray00 Yes! Fear of Music.
Good reaction to an overlooked Roxy song in the reactosphere. Hearing Love Is The Drug on AOR radio was my first exposure to Roxy Music, they were a different beast.
You should really check out Avalon by Roxy Music. Different sound, but I think more representative of their musical style.
More representative of their later musical style.
@@keithjones7390 You're right. I really like how they evolved over time. But they are always a treat to listen to really.
1976 I was a college dj and I played this often
Thanks a lot . Huge and very inventive band. Bryan Ferry is an absolute icon for four decades. A bunch of their songs or of Bryan's solo records have a mesmerizing effect on me, so can't help listening to them twice in a row and especially : "Will you love me tomorrow", "I put a spell on you", "All I want is you", " Dance away", "Over you", "Avalon", "More than this", "Jalous guy" (so better than Lennon's original), "Slave to love", "A fool for love", " Don't stop the dance", "Smog gets in your eyes" ", etc.
Smoke Gets in Your Eyes is one of my favourite Ferry covers, from Another Time Another Place album his best solo LP for me. Another great one is the Stones' Sympathy for the Devil from These Foolish Things album.
One of my favorite vidoes
Great song Alison I haven’t heard this for a while. ✌️
Madness loved Roxy. They wrote a track called 4BF (for Bryan Ferry), it a straightforward homage to Bryan Ferry.
Ferry included a song called 2HB on his Let's Stick Together solo album which was dedicated to actor Humphrey Bogart.
@@keithjones7390 That was a cover, of the same track on Roxy’s debut LP.
@@stephentatterton4766 Silly me, I've even got both albums 🙄
@@keithjones7390 they are both good versions. Probably the least changed on LST.
roxy music is one of the most influential bands of the '70s and early '80s, especially the new romantic and 2nd british wave movements of the late '70s through mid-'80s.
roxy's early work was highly experimental, kinda art nouveau, pushing the envelope of pop music. "love is the drug" was the start of their more melodic, catchy sound from their album SIREN that would continue with MANIFESTO, FLESH + BLOOD and evolve to their masterpiece and final studio album AVALON from 1982. these are my other favourites:
"virginia plain"
"a hard rain's a gonna fall"
"same old scene"
"oh yeah"
"more than this"
"take a chance with me"
and bryan ferry's solo masterwork "slave to love"
any or all of these are DEFINITELY worth a reaction, harri! cheers! 😊
also: the model on the album cover is jerry hall who was dating bryan ferry at the time. she would soon leave bryan to be with mick jagger and so on and so on lol.
You mentioned Avalon album as a masterpiece, for me that goes for Country Life, it's by far my favourite RM album, no fillers on that one!
Another Time Another Place, my favourite Ferry solo effort, fantastic, with the wonderful title track to finish a great album.
This song was used in the movie Casino.
First time I heard this song I went out and bought the album. Check out a song from this album titled Sentimental Fool.
Ho ho ho react a roxy músic wonderful
More more more rock n roll
It's been a long time since I've heard that. I always liked the trac.
I ❤ the Brit TR6 start up intro! "I say Coke, she say yes"😅.
Liverpool lad John Gustafson formerly of Mersey band the Big 3 played bass on this
Love Roxy Music. Jerry Hall on the cover here ,partner with Mick Jagger. Stranded is my favourite album
ruite album
Peace. Great review.
Hearing this on the radio as a kid in the seventies definitely primed my ears for Talking Heads and Peter Gabriel in the years afterward. Check out "The Main Thing" from their 1982 album, Avalon. And for another song from back then with a similar sorta vibe, check out The Kinks "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman".
Great choices
OMG…first time hearing Roxy Music? I envy you!
Avalon by Roxy Music 🥰🥰
Roxy music was part of the Glame
It was ahead of it's time. I was there. I knew it was ahead then. 🙂
Alternative rock before that was even a term. Always my favorite genre
"don't stop the dance" or "my only love"
Grace Jones would later do a cover of it.
agreed - thought of her 1980 rendition on warm leatherette in addition to her cover of "Breakdown" was classic.
I like Roxy music you should listen to don't stop the dance I use to fancy him when I was 16. He has great fashion sense and and he was very handsome I though he was hot
There is a gorgeous song by Bryan Ferry with David Gilmour called Is your love strong enough …that everyone should hear.❤
Just another high / I’ve listened 24/7 back in the day. Check it out by them
Just found your channel I was searching for the music video of this song it’s one of my faves loved this video so I’m gunna subscribe I’ll go through your video later 😊
commercials on telly is probably where you heard it before. And yeah early Talking Heads did in a way sound a bit like this. I think the vocal delivery by Burns seems a bit like Ferry, who knows maybe he listened to a few Roxy albums.
Grace Jones did a famous cover.
Grace Jones did a version, which is a great fit. You are right about the ska vibe, and that definitely influence on Talking Heads and probably The Pretenders too.
Add to your list Both ends Burning" and /or their take on Neil young`s "Hurricane"
Check out their version of Eight Miles High.
Young musicians are easily inspired to make simple uncomplicated dance tunes. This song has inspired me to join the dancing people many times. It's a driving beat that won't let you down when you get your hips swinging after a few drinks. Even the bass player sounds like she's the shit up there on stage. It could be a girl right ? Just DANCE
Roxy Music are an English rock band formed in 1970 by Bryan Ferry-who became the band's lead singer and main songwriter-and bass guitarist Graham Simpson.
Talking Heads were an American rock band formed in 1975 in New York City and active until 1991.
1975 . It definitely was a unique sound for the time.
Talking Heads were definitely influenced by and fans of Roxy Music.
Roxy Music was something I only appreciated later in life.
We definitely had different music played on US radio at the time than you had in England but yeah, now that you mention it, the vibe of this song does remind me a bit of 'Mirror in the Bathroom', etc. Very different songs but they share something.
I know I'm jonesing
Most of Roxy Music songs are fantastic but Avalon is one of the best songs. Many people enjoy it and become fans of the group and Bryan Ferry as well. Could you react to the studio version first and then the live version. And react to more Roxy Music. Thank you.
I love Avalon. And of course it ties in with Bowie on Labyrinth. Which is a bonus
Roxy Music did lots of interesting stuff before "Siren," but IMO they really arrived with this album. The songwriting and arrangements are more developed, while the creativity is brilliantly accessible (without selling out). The next track on the album, "End of the Line" is one of my favorite tracks of theirs.
You'll love albums 1-3
P.s. Grace Jones covered the song !!!
There is no fear in love, for perfect love casts out fear :)
You're thinking of the grace Jones version maybe

Please please please, do Sweet surrender by Tim Buckley :-))
I only discovered this song about the same time as their 82 Avalon release. I didn't really get a taste of that whole genre until 84
Your next Roxy Music tune should be Virginia Plain and More Than This👍
Nile Rodgers was in the same camp of Phil Manzanara. Chic influenced more than you know.
Grace Jones covered this song and did it fantastic. Please react to Psalm by Roxy Music?
Grace Jones did a cover
"This is tomorrow" & "Tokyo Joe"
Kinda hear The Clash in there. 🤷
Moar Roxy please 🙌🎸
This was a parody of disco, but way better than most disco. It was super popular.
And while you`re on British 70`s stuff, check out some "Be op Delux"
Great suggestion!
