LOL that is such a funny comment to those of us who were there. It was so sad to see bands such as Roxy Music, Genesis, Status Quo and quite a few others turn into 80's drivel, quite an embarrassment ! Regarding Roxy, I guess that Siren is indeed a good album with some still classic drumming by Paul Thompson before he got pissed off and quit. There are so many good tracks on that album but like Joe, I cannot go further than that and would rather take my chances with a Max Bygraves album.

Regarding Phaedra, I love it because I think it was their first album with sequencers. Gotta love analogue sequencing.

Phaedra is good stuff.
I also really like the b side of Roxy's Love Is The Drug single, a track called Sultanesque. Give it a listen if you've never heard it. In fact I'm going to get dig it out now and give it a spin
For your pleasure is my favorite roxy album... It's got some seriously good tracks.
I got to know this album in the early 90s.
Simply brilliant.

I never really got into them and I tend to think they are overrated. I dont warm to Ferry (hes a raving Tory for a start) and thats important when considering a band. Avalon and that later stuff is just soppy drivel in my opinion. I picked up the greatest hits and had to get rid of it because of all the soppy drivel. It was only a quid on vinyl and it didnt change my opinion
The better tracks didnt save it...I wasnt having that in my collection. Eno was the driving force was he not. I just think there is better music out there. Its one of those bands where I dont even want to give them a chance now.
I can agree on part of that. Eno did make them. Their first album and for your pleasure were the best IMO.
I never got in to ferry's white suit indulgence and romanticism. I always thought it was a bit naff... A bit too theatrical and cheesy sophistication. It seemed like it was for the city bankers to quaff glasses of pink champagne too in their chrome and black Ash River side flats. Lol

I think Ferry's 'These Foolish Things' is an excellent LP.
