"Do The Strand" & "Virginia Plain" - the older stuff
This is good advice, @JustJP. Start with selections from the older, end with the Avalon album.
"Mother of Pearl", perhaps?
Yeah!!
One of the coolest songs ever written.
Every Dream Home a Heartache
Yes live version with John Wetton and Eddie Jobson=1/2 of UK. ruclips.net/video/1KuAu4tboyI/видео.html
The bassline is KILLER.
It’s the first 2 Roxy albums that were revolutionary. The next 2 were also very good.
@@ianmc8671 Avalon was a great album, just different
You mentioned New Romantics. Roxy Music were the originals, the template for that style. They were also one of the first Glam Rock acts and created Proto-Punk.
"Mother of Pearl", "Every Dream Home a Heartache", "The Thrill of it All"
Just another high best track on siren
Roxy Music has a discernible musical progression over the course of their career: they started as a sort of proto-glam experimental outfit (hell, one of their original members is Brian Eno who went on to work with Bowie (among many others) and invented ambient music), then moved into a campy dance outfit (as in this song) and then moved to a sophisticated but quirky soul sound on their last two albums. Amazingly, they had commercial success, in England at least, in all these phases.
Along with this musical development, Brian Ferry from a stance of ironic detachment to one of deep sincerity. This is best heard in their final album, "Avalon". While the title song would meet your criteria nicely, I would recommend checking out "More Than This". It has one of the most exquisite moments in pop: in the chorus Ferry sings, "More than this, you know there's nothing. More than this, tell me one thing.." and he sings those last four words just slightly behind the beat as if the notion that anything could ever be more than this is just absurd. It's not just great singing; it's great communicating. The song, which has been shimmering and sultry throughout, effortless morphs into a deep, chugging groove during the extended outro. It's a gem that will shine brightly for you.
Both ends burning is my favorite song on Siren.
The whole Avalon album has an ambience I think you would like created by their tasteful use of delays. The first song "More Than This" is a good example.
Magical album, my first Roxy Music. The memory of the first listen haunts me as much as the album does, and a welcome haunt they both are
I am a bit partial to the song "Avalon", just because it's got really nice female backup vocals.
Amazing album
In Every Dream Home A Heartache. Classic weird song!! The live version is pretty awesome!!
No grit in the oyster - slick and polished, with a strong dance beat - great single, yes.
Big radio hit in the mid-70s.
This band was co-founded with Brian Eno. Rather than play any instruments, Eno processed guitars, keyboards and voices through what looked like a desktop spaceship. He stayed for only two albums but his former bandmates continued to record and perform live with him (except Ferry).
Eno is probably the single most influential person in modern music since 1972. Not exaggerating.
That bottle of water is diggin' this grove. Dances through the whole song.
Lol!
The Strand is my favorite song by roxy music
Classic album by a highly influential group. The 80s synth pop groups owed a large debt to Roxy Music, but couldn't hold a candle to the originals. This album, Stranded and Country Life are all great, and their first album has its moments. Don't be fooled by the suaveness of this and later stuff, they could rock. Thanks for uploading.
Love, love, love this song!!!!🥰💯🙏 love from the Netherlands!💜
Lead singer Bryan Ferry did a killer version of John Lennon’s Jealous guy at Live Aid. David Gilmore of Pink Floyd gave a wonderful performance on guitar. Very worth the watch and listen.
Great song from a great band ☝️
Good reaction to a very cool song. 'Siren' was my first Roxy Music album. That's Jerry Hall on the cover.
In '74 they were on tour and coming to Milwaukee. I sent in for tickets, but it came back with "Not In This Zip Code" stamped on it. Damn! So I didn't see them until 2001. But what a show!
Ya wanna go a little deeper? Maybe "Mother Of Pearl" would work for you. It's almost two different songs. Very fun. If ya wanna get a little darker, how about a love song to a rubber blowup doll, "In Every Dream Home A Heartache"? Very creepy organ with an almost rave up ending.
So glad to see Roxy Music getting a little love on a reaction channel.
Drumming vulture Oh yeah Jerry Hall dumped Bryan Ferry for Mick Jagger. That was an act of madness if you ask me
@@personalcheeses8073 She's now with Rupert Murdoch, I believe.
Just ran across your channel. How nice to find a smart, very informed young reactioneer!! Rock on!!
Ty so much Gretch!
Roxy music their biggest hit This song was so big it was everywhere on rock radio in the clubs etc. love you hope you love
Jeez - there are so many great Roxy album tracks - I cant believe theyre recomending a single, TRY SUNSET, ZAMBA, SPIN ME ROUND, Ferry is smooth, great stuff : )
Roxy is the best! I highly recommend Mother of Pearl, in every dream home a heartache, out of the blue, and the thrill of it all. every song a groundbreaking classic!
Bassist John Gustafson was in the Big three, an early 60's Mersey beat band , contemporaries of the Beatles, later he was in the Ian Gillan band.
I haven't heard this in many many years.... when it was on the radio all the time... Very catchy beat.
Bryan Ferry did an amazing cover of the John Lennon song Jealous Guy.
And of Dylan's A Simple Twist of Fate
Never liked it. But his version of Let's Stick Together is fucking phenomenal.
Bryan version of jealous guy is the best.
Not bad, until you get to the whistling section, which undermines the the emotion of the lyric for me.
Pyjamarama! Great song.
Songs I haven't seen mentioned
Mother Of Pearl
Virginia Plain
Angel Eyes
Do The Strand
Both Ends Burning
Manifesto
Dance Away
The Main Thing
Can't go wrong with Roxy tbh.
Loved this song in the 70's and still enjoy it today. I also enjoy listening to "these foolish things...." My sister Dagny first introduced me to listen to Roxy music after she lived in London in the 70's. We both are avid listeners. We all need love and to love one another.
Their Top of the Pops appearance of this song should be seen. I remember watching it!
Thanks for these! Roxy Music was epic, groundbreaking and very influential on new wave; they were one of the few "classic rock" artists cool enough to be included in the Trouser Press record guide, which was the punk/indie bible back in the day. Recommendation :) "In Every Dream Home A Heartache" is killer.
"More than this" is my favorite of theirs.
My bro and his crew were a big fans of Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music. You can't go wrong with any of their songs. For me their music has a nostalgic feeling. Nice choice and reaction. I like the songs "More than this, Avalon and Slave to Love"
I really like this original version but I also love the cover that Grace Jones made of it in 1980 on her album Warm Leatherette with the rhythm section of Sly Dunbar & Robbie Shakespeare. try to listen to it eventually ... (I specify that it is the 7:13 version because there are several other edits and other remixes which appear on certain re-releases)
Ahh Grace!!!
I prefer the Grace Jones version - a harder, more desperate edge to it.
@@kevind4850 and with Sly and Robbie!!
Yes! I love both versions, but Grace is phenomenal!
Editions of You. Mother of Pearl. Praire Rose. Both Ends Burning.
One of my favorite bands. This was the first Roxy tune to grab the US radio waves consistently. I'm thankful for it because it opened up the rest of their music to me. I saw them on their Manifesto and Avalon tours. Funny how bass was always prominent in Roxy . After the first album there were only session and touring bass players in the band. John Gustafson was a brilliant player in the studio for them (among others). Even John Wetton toured with them after the first era of King Crimson ended. I always say that Roxy Music bass players ,as one , are my favorites.
I think Roxy Music / Brian Ferry has a unique sound/style. Elements of prog, art, glam what have you. Excellent craftmanship. Well produced... Very listenable... Always liked them.. bubt I never got hooked..
Nice reaction. Check out Avalon.
Every Dream home will change your life.....beyond the norm....
Explore early Roxy Music before you get into Avalon. You are correct, Love Is The Drug was a hit single. All the new romantics worshipped Roxy Music. I recommend several songs that are maybe more interesting than Love Is The Drug... Out Of The Blue, In Every Dream Home A Heartache, Both Ends Burning, Editions Of You, A Really Good Time, and my absolute favorite, the live version of If There Is Something on their Viva! live album. The original studio one is great. The live version is the best thing Roxy Music ever recorded.
If there is something is a song that has a complex musical structure that starts out like a country tune and grows into something very different by Roxy Music also Re-Make/Re-Model is also a very different kind of song. Actually almost anything off the first album they did Roxy Music is very different and out of left field.
The song after this, End of the Line, is probably my favorite from Siren & right at the top of Roxy Music songs in general.
Nile Rodgers saw them in the earlier days blew his mind
Both ends burning is on this album, a song which inspired David Sylvian to start a band.
The model on the album cover is Jerry Hall the former Mrs Mick Jagger, at the time she was going out with lead vocalist Bryan Ferry.
Try The Bogus Man - it's a great track by Roxy Music
From the Siren LP: Sentimental Fool, Nightingale. Also: The Bogus Man, A Really Good Time, Stronger Through the Years, Mother of Pearl, Trash 2.
Love Is The Drug is ahead of it's time. Siren is a solid. You can find a less accessible song on that very album. Great reaction
It was Roxy's big hit single during the Eno and Jobson eras. They had several after their reformation as Roxy Muzak. Deeper/more somber? Try Sentimental Fool from this album. Or if you want to go way out there, check out In Every Dream Home a Heartache, from the For Your Pleasure LP.
Listen to something from their first two albums(their best)
Absolutely!!
Take a Chance is such a great song by them. Oh Yeah (On the Radio) is also fantastic-- great story
It was a single. It was in the UK Top 40, mid October 1975 and peaked at no.2
Also a new entry that week was David Bowie's Space Oddity. 😎
Thats a strong competitor!
In 75 that Space Oddity was a release or a remixed version of Bowies original of 69/70. This was Roxy's biggest single in UK until Jealous Guy -and 1975- when you could only buy singles in vynal which was at its height that it is saying something so expect they made money. Releases off Avalon must have been big but by that time I think singles buying may have been on the wain?
"More than This" is great, too.
It's a good song, not my favorite, a little too discoy. Try 'Re-Make/Re-Model' which is the opening track on their 1st album. Another good one is 'Oh Yeah' or 'Same Old Scene' from "Flesh + Blood" or my favorite song by them 'To Turn You On' from "Avalon".
Thx Yog!
I love the first album the problem is that its really badly produced.Nothing comes through with any clarity.Try listening to this ruclips.net/video/wZPfF-X_kN0/видео.html and compare.
80s iconic new wave
Good album. Try to listen to the next two tracks back to back for a lovely segue. Standout Roxy Music track for me is Amazona from the Stranded album. Try it, you won’t be disappointed 👍
I would just like, once, for someone to react to "Both Ends Burning". Brian hits every note wrong, and I don't know why it
all comes out just perfect. Perfect, I tell you!
They did a classic version of Neil Young's 'Like a Hurricane' and a classic version of John Lennon's 'Jealous guy'.
One of only 2 songs that I can remember where I was and who I was with when I first heard it, the other is Roxanne by the Police!
Check out Prairie Rose, the last track on Country Life. Bryan Ferry wrote it for Jerry Hall, the model probably not wearing kneepads and his girlfriend at the time. She's from Texas, and the lyrics start "Texas, that's where I belong..."
Apparently not. It’d be nice to think so but PR was written in Spring ‘74 and they didn’t meet till early ‘75.
Thank you. I just knew "Slave to Love". I loved this song. Playlist!
Try Marillion - This Strange Engine.
They also had a guy called Brian Eno!
Easily one of the top 10 British singles of the 70's. And that's saying something!!
Oh, and if you continue with the Siren album, may I request that you react to "Just Another High"?. It's a forgotten classic. Has a great drum sound.
I do enjoy a good drum sound
Bryan Ferry, what a fucking legend.
Avalon is an excellent album!
Nice react JP and you are spot on this was their most accessible hit especially in the U.S. For me Roxy always sounded like a couple of dudes trying so hard to be cool that they never would be. Accept that they were cool and so darn talented they became the epitome of cool. From writing to production to arrangement they always brought it and spread their influence across music in many ways. I will let others make other suggestions for I cannot pick. Be forewarned as so many of your artist selections are Roxy is a deep rabbit hole.
If There is Something
In Every Dream Home a Heartache
Enjoying your reactions. I'd like to suggest - from a few years before - Burlesque by Family :)
That bass groove is tasty
there is a Bowie version of this song which is super cool, as both the Ferry version and Bowie's version are bang on.
Great reaction Justin, glad you liked it! Roxy Music is a awesome band so many good albums. Greetings Cassandra
Thanks Marcel! :D
I bought this as my first record, played it on repeat 🙂
Takes me back to disco days..well a guy trying to dance. always a bit too classy for disco... try Virginia Plain
This morning I listened to an interview with Nile Rodgers and he mentioned about the first time he saw Roxy Music and how they were so different from anything else at the time. So it's great that you're doing this today. Rodgers was appointed Chief Creative Adviser at Abbey Road Studios in 2017.
Perfect timing! Ty Mark
Roxy Music album Avalon from 1982 is a short atmospheric synthy album that I played in its entirety often on my college radio show. Timeless.
Given all the craft Roxy Music bring to the session I wonder what the thought behind the Beatles-y coda was?
Roxy Music had three constants in Ferry, Manzanera, and Mackay, (Voice+Piano, Guitar, and Sax+Oboe), but always managed to have great sounding drums and bass players. I tend to think of guitar players as either melodic, rhythmic, or textural, and there's hardly a better textural guitar player than Phil Manzanera, though he's not in the forefront of this song. They were one of the few pre-punk er bands a lot of the punks liked. They had to be a big influence on the early Psychedelic Furs. I'm sure were also a big influence on British pop in the 80's; I can't imagine Spandau Ballet, Tears for Fears, or even Wham being the same without them.
It's funny that you asked for something somber from them, because I can't think of any song that's more somber than "A Song for Europe".
Huge influence on all the New Romantics, and even Siouxsie and the Banshees.
You forgot the incredible Paul Thompson!
@@steddie4514 I didn't; Thompson didn't appear on the 1980's albums. I see Wikipedia says he didn't like Roxy's 80's sound, but he sounded great on the similar Avalon.
Siren from which this single was taken had this and Both Ends Burning great tracks, the album Stranded had some absolute masterpieces but some not so good (judged at the Roxy standard) but the album that encapsulates this period for them at their generally high standard is Country Life (even if the art work was a bit in your face!)
The best Roxy song of all time is... If there is something live on the Viva album.
Like this song, prefer them doing others, but really like the Grace Jones version.
Nile Rodgers was so influenced by the bass on this track, it led him to create Chic aa the Black Roxy Music. Nile is a class act, like Bryan.
1975. What a year. This song, Bohemian Rhapsody and I'm Not In Love (which you should react to) 😁
The band was a huge influence to the British New Romantic / Synthpop genre both visually and musically.
The band was the launching point for Brian Eno as well. Jamiroquai has done a live cover on this song.
What a great album
The song was released at the height of the disco era so I'm sure that it was aimed at that market as well...
Love this song. I would also suggest "Take a Chance With Me" and "Same Old Scene".
I do love this song! More somber sounds in the 3rd album Stranded - A Song for Europe. I really loved their move into the sophisti-pop sound on the Flesh and Blood album that solidified in the following Avalon album. LOVE the cool, atmospheric groove of that whole album, especially Avalon, The Space Between and More than This.
It's a reggae base. This was released before reggae was mainstream in the US
Nice review & as always, a good encapsulation of the song's positive attributes. My man, you have "the knack" for this stuff, the reviews- I truly look forward to yer insight. Surely you do not see yourself in that light...and I may not be the only one who regards you this way. You have my respect-so much so- that I try to write with proper punctuation. See that statement for what it is, please.
What is behind that 'statement' exactly ? A testament to the quality of your reaction videos, the ones lucky enough to click on your video for the 1st time, your subscribers and so on...
And I say all of the above with true sincerity.
Unfortunately, you can't take that to make a deposit or cash it in. But you very much are enjoyed by Craig & Jody in Milford, Delaware.
You have recently received an email from me, at least I hoped you'd received it. Feel free to write for whatever reason ! We are 3 miles away from the Delaware Bay & a half hour away from the Delaware beaches. If ever up this way, be in touch and you'd certainly have a place to stay. Wife, kids (??) too !!
There it is but for one last thing....the requestamenté (that's fake/made up Spanish)😎
The request for your reaction video is Yours Is No Disgrace by Yes.
This song is sooooo worthwhile to your years- to anyone's ears, actually.
That song really covers much of what Yes is all about. It's one of the few songs that's writing was credited to the whole band. Yay, Kaye & Bruford !! 😎
There are several movements within the song & Steve Howe's input is amazing. It is a helluva way to start The Yes Album. (Geddy Lee has said in several interviews that The Yes Album is his favorite album).
While the whole album deserves such praise, Yours Is No Disgrace is flat-out amazing !!
I can already see you smiling & nodding approval during the reaction vid already.....
It will be a guaranteed revelation to you, my friend !! Kinda like this: 🐣
So, take this comment in the spirit it was intended & please consider that tune for future consideration, please. Peace out, JP !! 👊😇
Good analysis!
Ty Edgar!
This is a concept album. So many great songs, but they sound best when listened to back to back. Also try Out of the Blue from Country Life.
Roxy Music is a band I didn’t find until my thirties....and I was / am hooked!
Check out “For Your Pleasure”
“In Every Dream Home A Heartache “, “Out Of the Blue”, “Editions Of You”.
Thanks for starting Roxy Music. They were one most underrated bands in the US in the 70’s.
Ty Danelle!
Hey Japan and Duran Duran, ... maybe you heard this? Also Both Ends Burning. Definitely templates for later music.
Yes, this was a radio song.
I'm glad to see you enjoying Supertramp. I never paid too much attention if the songs told a story but let me give you a heads up. Hide in your shell is a crescendo song, try to hear that one after you heard most of the album. Lamb lies down on Broadway has a crescendo song too. That's all.
Avalon, More Than This, Slave to Love, Valentine, all great songs by RM or Bryan Ferry. PS: if you end up reviewing The Magician’s Birthday by Uriah Heep, you’ll get to hear a kazoo solo! KAZOO! In a rock song; how awesome is that?!!!
Bryan Ferry, the leader of Roxy was such a freak! Great band and production!Have a great day J.P.
You too James :D
Love Roxy Music. I consider "Siren" a good album but not as good as the albums that came before it. For me, the best album is "Country Life" followed by "Stranded" and "For Your Pleasure". FYP is with Eno and the most experimental.
After the break in the mid '70s the last 3 albums are uneven but "Avalon" is a sonic and romantic masterpiece. Very different from early Roxy Music.
Try "The Thrill of It All", "The Bogus Man", and "A Song For Europe".
As you hear, the music is there to support Bryan Ferry’s voice. Roxy Music’s album you put on when you sat down for a beer with you friends, maybe played cards, maybe you took the cassette in the recorder, rolled down the windows and cruiised with your friends in your car to somewhere. They are a 4 min hit song band. Avalon from the 80.s is great, still a hit song for that period of time
By this point, a group of really talented, innovative musicians was well on the way to becoming the Bryan Ferry Backing Band. I agree with all the suggestions from the first two albums and would add The Bogus Man, from 'For Your Pleasure' (sombre, but funky as hell).
This their best album IMO Ferry seems to be a hopeless romantic try "End of the line", "Both ends burning", "Whirlwind"
In Every Dream Home A Heartache............
Roxy Music(or more so Bryan Ferry) were a big influence (at least in the way they dressed) on Duran Duran.
If you want lyrical depth, there's no better choice in my mind than "Mother of Pearl".
"In every dream home a heartache" is also great lyrically and definitely more somber.
"If there is something" and "2HB" are also more akin to what you seem to be looking for.
