How can you listen to this track from 1973's Stranded album and be meh about it. This band with an without Eno was brilliant from 1971 to 1975. after Siren I can see the wavering of affection.
But their first five albums were brilliant.

frick later songs like "more than this, etc.." there early stuff brings tears to my eyes.

brilliant

Very underrated. They were the best glam band of the 70s and their album Manifesto in 1979 set the stage for 80s new wave.

They're only underappreciated in the US -- they were major stars in the UK and Ferry became a famous face

Roxy Music - "Mother Of Pearl"

They're one of my favorite bands of the first half of the '70s (along w/Mott The Hoople, Big Star, and Badfinger). All their albums have some great stuff, and Avalon is one of their very best.

It'd put this song up there with my all faves, and was the song that really got me into Roxy Music


If There is Something
