Guest Conor74 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 You a pre or post Eno fan? Much and all as I like Eno, I like RM as they came to the end of their careers and started making very polished pop... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zJdbpzfJMs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Calx Sherbet Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 bittersweet is really somethin, thought i'd just say that after hearing their first few albums, Avalon came as a bit of a surprise. polished describes it well. but i'd have to go with their Eno involved albums for my favorites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Conor74 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 byron ferrari is a prick Andy McKay had a house in South Kerry so know a few who knew him and Ferry, who used to visit. And while McKay was a popular fellow, think the consensus on Ferry is as you describe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest eichel Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 funny, roxy music (especially avalon) is one of my first music-memories! my dad had the album on tape in his car. and there is this great fsol-rmx of a brian ferry-song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6972WMTGYNg (i think i liked the shorter version more but its not on yt) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Apeofnaples Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I love them. LOVE them. Listening to Sunset from Stranded on repeat as I write.

kaini Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 my MOM liked these guys so? i grew up listening to awesome stuff like joni mitchell, steely dan, the beatles, and bach. (also shit music like barry manilow and stuff i can appreciate but wouldn't listen to like gordon lightfoot). the point? moms are people too, with taste, some of which you'll like and some of which you won't. to dismiss music just because your MOM listened to it is fucking stupid. now go and check out the self-titled album and for your pleasure. and then come back with an opinion. kthx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaini Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USJq2RwnlyU we are flying down to riiiiiiooooooo i fucking love roxy music edit: just noticed this is a *very* well-made edit of two performances - top of the pops and musik laden. pretty cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v27SIQPZ6cc still sounds good. even if ferry is still a fucking cunt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MJQxvX5WvA i think especially with the early live shit, i've hardly ever seen a band do so much onstage - tape loops, ferry back and forth between mics, synth, piano, fucking oboe. really really ambitious for the time. the musik laden site, which hosted loads and loads of pretty good quality recordings of germany's version of the old grey whistle test (was aka beat club) went offline due to lack of funding a couple of months ago, and all the videos were transferred to a youtube channel instead. a minor tragedy imo.

She liked Kraftwerk and a lot of things too. And it wasn't dismissing the music, yes sort of in disbelief that not just someone's mom but my own but not really I was pretty much being sarcastic all the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerwolf Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Roxy Music? Feel like a bit of a tirade of abuse welling up. But being English I shall quell the demons of vitroil and will just politely say, 'not my cup of tea, thank-you very much squire.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
