Never heard them but considering Brian Eno (best artist of the 70's IMO) was in the band, I guess they must be good.

I own a Phil Manzanera solo double cd and haven't bothered to listen to it. Should I? I actually listen to Taxi by Ferry a lot. I'd wear an Eno Not Bono shirt if anybody made them.

I can't get past Ferry's voice. Clearly, an amazing band but... that voice...

I don't know them all well at all, but considering like the majority of the band is on John Cale's 'Fear', which I love, that it's a 70s Eno project, and my current OBSESSION with this, I should probably check them out properly...

Call me Mr. Fucking Obvious, but the 2 Eno LPs are stunning; everything else, gradually less so.

Stranded is their best album I think. I fucking love them. Even their cheesy period. "Angel Eyes" is a really underrated song

I really have to be in the mood for them but when I am, I love them. People who stop after the Eno period are missing some amazing records.

For the past few months they account for about 70% of my listening - I bought that double DVD set and keep listening to the disco period tunes over and over - its pap but I can't stop! When Avalon came out I was in high school and it was a great record to play on dates, romantic and sophisticated but has a real stoner appeal. In Pyjamarama I hear the source all of the new wave I know I read somewhere that a young Sid Vicious used to pantomine to this). I don't think we can understand their impact in 1972, to do In Every Home A Heartache on TOTPS (well, it was one of those Brit shows) which is a weird tune when most bands would've just done their hits was radical.

In this Roxy Music book I picked up, the other band members express amazement at all the action Eno would get, he got more than anybody supposedly.

Ferry often sounds like he's imitating Nico--that's original.

I remember checking out my dad's LP collection as a young child and being shocked by the front cover of RM's Country Life album. I'ma put it on right now, cause I have no idea what it sounds like.
