Excellent post Joe. We all have different tastes, and the world is a better, more interesting place for it.
Roxy Music, like most other rock bands, became more polished, sophisticated and smoother as their career progressed; loosing the 'edge' and what made them exciting and novel in the first place. It happened to others: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Doors - even to groups such as T-Rex, The Stranglers, and dare I say it, to Genesis and to Pink Floyd.
