Fabulous construction, stunning arrangements coupled with amazing lyrics were the hallmark of every song.
Well said, Windswept2. Roxy Music had its own kind of magic that hit me when I was a young boy. The band's hype/image/sound was so many miles away from country and hard rock, folk and pop at that time - simply irresistible. Their back catalogue includes only eight studio albums - plus some rare b-sides and outtakes. I would not want to miss a single song! That's the sound track of my youth ...
And when I perform "Jealous Guy" or "Let's Stick Together" with my own band, I am happy when the average German public recognizes it ... sometimes I get asked: "Wasn't that a song from Roxy Music, was it?" Oh yeah, that was THE BAND playing on the radio !!"
