The Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry appreciation thread

(1/2) > >>

eurydice:
I am convinced you can't fully appreciate U2 without a working knowledge of Roxy Music.

Conversation I had before a Vertigo Tour show.
Woman next to me in the elipse: So, U2 are your favorite band.
Me: (trying to be nice in reply to that silly comment) Second favorite, actually.
Woman: Really? Who are your favorite band?
Me: Roxy Music
Woman: Who?
Me: Bryan Ferry's band from 70s and 80s
Woman: Don't know him.
Me: Brian Eno was their keyboardist in the 70s
Woman: That name is kinda familiar
Me: (trying not to growl) Yeah. He produced The Unforgettable Fire, The Joshua Tree, and Achtung Baby.
Woman: Oh.
Me. (Turn to chat with the guy in the Slipknot tshirt standing on my other side. Hey, he knew who Eno was.)

Love Love Love Roxy Music........Bryan Ferry's voice is sexy.

Love the song "Virginia Plain"..........now I need to go download some songs.......have "Love is A Drug" but need more!

CGE:
Bryan Ferry does have one of those sexy voices!
I used to play their stuff on my radio show in college- back in the day
Right after something from War or TUF (usually Bad)

eurydice:
Download "Do the Strand" and "Pyjamarama"

StrongGirl:
Ah, great thread eurydice!  I LOVE your opening post. So typical of what I am used to hearing. They have influenced so many other musicians. Bryan Ferry's voice is so sexy and he is a class act. That is a rare thing. The music has so many beautiful layers to it. Avalon will always be my favorite and very special to me ;). The video is visually gorgeous and done with such class.
