Best Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry Tune |
|
Forget for the moment the man is a Tory....It is my opionion Byran Ferry and Roxy Music were Light years ahead of anything in their time. When I first heard their stuff (Virginia Plain) I was thinking "wow - 80's music that's actually GOOD." Then I saw when it was released - NINETEEN SEVENTY FRICKEN THREE!!! What else in 73 was doing what this was?
Personally my favorites are either 2HB or Ladytron.
But what's yours?

3. Just like to point mention ... |
|
that Brian Eno's early records, just after he split from Roxy Music, are quite amazing, not at all like his later, ambient music. Examples would be: "Here Come the Warm Jets", "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", and "Before and After Science", although the last one shades into the ambient at times.
Another amazing band in the Roxy category is King Crimson, especially in that same period. "Red" and "Lark's Tongues in Aspic".

6. "In Every Dreamhome, a Heartache" |
|
From "For Your Pleasure", which is, I think, their best album.
Second fave song would be "Oh Yeah", which makes me all teary-eyed everytime.

Oh Yeah - love that one too... |
|
Some expression in your eyes overtook me by surprise
where was I how was I to know ? How we can drive to a movie show when the music is here in my car ? There's a band playing on the radio with a rhythm of rhyming guitars
they're playing oh yeah on the radio.
And so it came to be our song
and so on through all summer long
day and night drifting on into love. Driving you home from a movie show so in tune to the sounds in my car. There's a band playing on the radio ...
It's some time since we said goodbye and now we lead our seperate lives. But where am I where can I go ? Driving alone to a movie show so I turn to the sounds in my car. There's a band playing on the radio and it's drowing the sound of my tears. They're playing oh yeah on the radio.

"In Every Dream Home a Heartache" of course.
"A Song for Europe" Wow, this one gives me chills.
"Re-Make, Re-Model" merits a mention.
I'm very proud to say that Bryan and I share a birthday even.

I could feel at the time There was no way of knowing Fallen leaves in the night Who can say where they're blowing As free as the wind And hopefully learning Why the sea on the tide Has no way of turning More than this - there is nothing More than this - tell me one thing More than this - there is nothing It was fun for a while There was no way of knowing Like dream in the night Who can say where we're going No care in the world Maybe I'm learning Why the sea on the tide Has no way of turning More than this - there is nothing More than this - tell me one thing More than this - there is nothing

10. Another of my old time favs |
|
Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music:thumbsup: Yep, I was listening to this way back then.
Avalon, More Than This, Slave to Love, Jealous Guy, and Is Your Love Strong Enough, are a few of my top favs.
I must also toss in ones like Same Old Scene, Oh Yeah, and Over you.
Sorry:shrug: I can't just choose one or two and there are so many more I can't think of the titles at the moment;-) What can I say I like Brian and Roxy Music:evilgrin:
