Brian Eno is the guy making the cool synthesizer sounds and is one of the most important musicians of the modern age.

[@apollomemories7399]

Brian Eno would be the first person to tell you that he is not a musician.

[@gelsol]

@@apollomemories7399 Yeah yeah, I know, but tough shit, he is one. ;)

Roxy Music is what it says, an entire genre on its own. They were way ahead of their time and one of the most influential bands ever, certainly in the UK. The first two albums were as you described 'alien' certainly compared with anything at that time. Roxy got thrown in with 'glam rock' movement - probably because of their very glamourous stage presentation and clothing - but Glam Rock quickly disappeared; Whereas here we are 50 yrs later reviewing their music - maybe the US is finally waking up to one of the greatest bands of all time.

[@davidholder5093]

This was one of my favourite bands. I did get to see then live. Their influence to other bands was noticeable. Their music much like David Bowie. Their albums changed as time marched on. Example, Avalon is a distant cousin of their earlier works. Neither artist ever put out a "bad" album over decades of producing them. I hope your video give Roxy Music the respect in America they have always deserved, thank you.

[@gigmcsweeney8566]

The first album I ever bought was Stranded, which was Roxy's third album. They are my all-time favourite band and I still have every one of their albums. Well done for choosing this classic and cheers from the UK.

[@jeffkharpoharpo3472]

I saw them 2 times once in the 1970's and in the late 1980's I Loved them! 2 of my favorites "Do the strand" and "Avalon" Good reaction

[@newpuritan9292]

Thank Eno

[@thesound-chameleonman3580]

I messaged the original drummer of Roxy Music, I got a reply back! and Paul Thompson actually agreed to sign my vinyl of their debut album! Hopefully getting Andy Mackay's next!

[@dagnabbit6187]

Roxy Music were mold breakers , innovative, way ahead of their time for Americans but definitely influential. Glad you like Virginia Plain . Try If There Is Something . A song that doesn’t get as much press as Stairway to Heaven and Bohemian Rhapsody but just as great IMHO . Oh and I am a Yank .

[@stevemccormack9948]

Roxy Music had their moments. My favourite was from about 1972 - A Song For Europe - original studio version.

[@vambo13257]

That is how many people described seeing and hearing Roxy back in 1972, as if aliens were beamed into their living rooms.

[@davidfisher8821]

Sooooo many amazing Roxy Music songs- Editions of you, pajamarama, Both Ends Burning, Out of the Blue, in every Dreamhome a heartache, Mother of Pearl, you’ll love them all! IMO, Roxy is second only to The Beatles for influential music. Most of the 80s bands borrowed heavily from Roxy and David Bowie.

[@apollomemories7399]

This is not Glam Rock, but Art Rock.

[@davidcopson5800]

Well it certainly isn't Blackpool rock.

[@apollomemories7399]

@@davidcopson5800 Yes, that's right David.

[@mercurialmagictrees]

Cool reaction, I like how you noticed the different instrumentation. I just watched this top of the pops video today. It's fun unique rock music.

[@kopynd1]

seen them live in the seventies they were class, they are unique, Andy on the sax is class

[@1967PONTIACGTO]

Glam Rock.... and one of the roots of the Punk and New Wave that came a few years later starting in 1976... for more Glam Rock, try the New York Dolls and a song called Personality Crisis

[@thesound-chameleonman3580]

Angel eyes, Over you, More than this.. great back catalogue.

[@mijmijrm]

love this retro futuristic fairground sound.

[@djobbie]

Well done!

[@jasontaverner391]

The truly amazing aspect of this song is that there is no chorus. There is absolutely nothing in theory holding this song together, yet it does hold together. It teeters on chaos, but somehow makes it across the finish line.

[@davidcopson5800]

In this song they disapproved of choruses.

[@peixotoagostinho8792]

A les années de la bonne musique que de souvenirs....🇫🇷

[@davidcopson5800]

Female Friday. The 'Rob Squad' also do FF. So, you have to listen to 'Gabriel' by Lamb.

[@stonesinmyblood27]

Brian Eno and his electricity changed rock music. David Bowie knew this. Listen to “Low”

[@timothyharrington5128]

Hi Tiny. This group is pretty weird. I like your approach to reviewing

[@darrellkramer8097]

It's not an actual live recording. It's overdubbed with the studio track.

[@pyrmontbridge4737]

I'd love if you could listen to another glam rock song. The song is Horror Movie by Skyhooks from 1975 (listen to the lyrics, all the way to the end, to understand it).

[@ajp55a]

You talked all through the song 😡

[@TheToledoTrumpton]

If you like this, you will love Rockaria by ELO.

[@hyramhackenbacker3953]

Ladytron is a thinking persons song,which rules you out. Its not Virgin Plain its Virginia Plain you have a State of the same name.

[@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344]

Roxy music is atonal. Didn't like them when I was young and ...

[@apollomemories7399]

You just don't understand the complexity of this music. It's anything BUT atonal. You must be stone deaf.

[@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344]

@@apollomemories7399 I meant it as a compliment. It is musically complex.

[@An_Cat_Dubh]

This particular song (and Roxy era) does have an atonal aura to it. It's almost Punk or Garage Band in its compressed range, but with lots of textures thrown in that the punks would never have approved of. And of course the lyrics are too literary to ever be truly Punk or Garage Rock.

[@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344]

@@An_Cat_Dubh You really caught my drift. I like to be intellectually challenged. Roxy was too much for me when I was young.

[@apollomemories7399]

@@An_Cat_Dubh Yeah, "almost" to the extent of nothing even close at all. You don't half talk complete rubbish. There is nothing remotely "compressed" about this recording and can only suggest that you invest in a decent hi-fi. Were you to hear the original 45 properly, it would blow you away.

Germans sure can get down.
