Roxy music was 1000 years ahead of their time... Timeless, romantic, soothing, rythmic, melodious, blended, instruments....

[@vicrattlehead6386]

Always love how the vocal line of their song is often sparsely in between , thus makes the instrumental passage became dominant aswell.

His one big mistake was to pass on "Don't You Forget About Me" that went on to be come a massive smash for Simple Minds. He could have really clocked it with that number.

[@chrishedlund3196]

I was living in Finland the mid 70’s. Access to music was limited for me. I looked forward to going to the railroad station and buying the latest New Musical Express. I remember these guys were everywhere. I was from California. Maybe 22 years old and out traveling. Years later this song comes along and many years later I learn about the song, Brian, and think life goes full circle some time. And of course it’s a beautiful song. If you’ve ever played music putting it out there like that isn’t easy. Baring your sole. Brian really sticks his neck out it seems to me. The group really. Good stuff.

[@debrayianni1705]

King of cool and class. Brilliant musical compilation. My 80's anthem from one of the sexiest pop singers ever.

A song for eternrty

[@PikeBishop14]

GE Smith, the house band leader for SNL gave an interview in which he recalled a story from this exact song. At the last moment before going live they could not find the percussionist. The person who plays that essential main beat that the songs opens with. Totally critical to the song! GE flagged over a friend who was a great drummer. Brian Ferry’s drummer jumped up and did the percussion part which he knew. The friend you see briefly in this video came in and did the simple drum part. Amazing performance. Incredible song.

[@iain2080]

GE interview is 6 years old but I was looking for this comment, crazy story. That percussion is essential though so I'm glad GE could think on this feet.

After all the slogging in the 70's Roxy Music finally puts it all together and "arrives." You can see it on Bryan Ferry's face. The album cover is awesome; that helmet, the medieval specter. It was their last album I think. But Bryan F. wasn't done hypnotizing us with Avalon part 2: "More than this." You know, it amazing how rock n roll can get you hard and fast, or smooth and slow. When Roxy got inducted into the RRHOF and they played "Avalon" Brian Ferry got that same look on his face when that saxaphone part started. It was a secret smile that said "I know we're nailing it, we were Roxy Music, how many millions are gonna see this? Mission accomplished, better late than never. Congratulations Bryan, Phil, and Brian.
