Roxy Music were a London, England based art rock group founded in 1971 by art school graduate Bryan Ferry (vocals and keyboards). Other members were Phil Manzanera (guitars), Andy Mackay (saxophone and oboe) and Paul Thompson (drums and percussion). Former members included Brian Eno (synthesizer and “treatments”) and Eddie Jobson (synthesizer and violin), who replaced Eno after Roxy Music’s second album.
Roxy Music were a significant influence on the early English punk movement, as well as providing a model for many “New Wave” acts and the subsequent New Romantic and experimental electronic groups of the early 1980s. Ferry and co-founding member Brian Eno have also had broadly influential solo careers. Brian Eno has emerged as one of the most significant record producers of the late 20th century, with credits including landmark albums by Devo, Talking Heads and U2.
The group’s name was partly an homage to the titles of old cinemas and dance halls, and partly a pun on the word ‘rock’. Ferry had first named the band Roxy, but learning of an American band with the same name prompted the alteration of the name. The juxtaposition of nostalgia with contemporary or futuristic themes was a distinctive feature of the band, particularly in their earliest incarnation.

Viva! remains one of the greatest live albums ever. Criminally underplayed by fans. "If There is Something" is epic! Eddy Jobson's soaring violin throughout is supernatural, taking some of these classic songs well beyond the studio recordings.

Hahahaha. What I meant is Eno is king and my absolute favorite RM albums are the two featuring him. Not to say other RM albums aren't good (though I don't really like 'Avalon'), just saying Eno did it better.

Well if you admit Stranded is good, it surely can't equal death by liking it, thus, you are wrong.

'Stranded' is good. But I'm not wrong.

Rottmadgers, you're wrong. Up until Siren, they're always brilliant. Even Eno's favourite Roxy album is Stranded.
