    Getting emotional listening to this gem and reading the comments. 59 years old next month and at times struggle to accept getting old. However, the great music and memories of my younger days make it okay. We were truly gifted with the best music of a generation in the 80s.

      The guy is full of amazing lyrics. A class of his own, never matched and will be difficult to be matched for a long time. Great lyrics, but Ladytron, In every dreamhome and Mother of PEarl are to my mind in another class alltogether. Ferry knows so well how to play this classy creep, a somewhat disturbed millionair or a hopeless romantic and puts all that in the words so they match all that. Just fantastic. He is a bit like Maradona on the pitch: his topclass work did not last as long as some others (Messi in the case of Maradona and Bowie in the case of FErry). But at his peak no one came anywhere close to his achievements.

      @@JeffC-fq1be saying a band is not underrated can mean two things as I’ve already pointed out. You haven’t clarified what your position is. You could be a huge fan- and so believe they’re incredible and thus not underrated or you could think they’re rubbish and so equally not underrated but for a different reason.

      @@wakstar1 Nope. It means one thing: The majority of credible reviewers have consistently given an artist review scores well below where they should be. That hardly seems possible. If an artist is good, everyone knows it. In this case, please cite just one credible reviewer who has dissed Byran Ferry and/or Roxy Music for what they do. Example: Great musicians like John McLaughlin might be panned by a critic or two on some albums, but the majority of critics have him at a very high level.

    Tim Jordan - thanks!!! I’m a 100% with you! Here’s my 5 cents: I was lucky enough to see Brian Ferry at a very small live concert in Germany, I’d say less than 1,000 people, with giant earthen owls eminating a scented smoke that, by it’s sweet odor, reminded me of something we used to “fly away” from our daily worries... It was a magic concert... stage catwalking straight into the crowd, Brian close enough to touch him, vibrating with a magical charisma that one would be unable to find these days in any of the so-called “stars”... That concert was pure magic, and I thank the lord on my knees that I was at the right place at the right time back then. My one man web design company that propelled me from the bottom to the top here in Thailand innthe late 90s was called Avalon, that should say it all. I love Roxy Music and Brian Ferry to bits. It was a magic time (80s and 90s)... A time that one can only dream of nowadays, where a socialist elite tries to strangle us all to death. My strength to overcome all this is the music of the 80s and 90s. Love to all you Roxy Music fans out there. ❤️☀️🇹🇭🏖🌴🥥🐘🌈
