BCB 100 - Roxy Music
I just have the first two. I was pretty disappointed with Roxy Music when I got it several years ago. Very little of it really made any impact at all. I picked up For Your Pleasure more recently and think that it is a real improvement. The music is more interesting, the songs are more engaging. Hell, the album cover is better.
Favorite Albums - For Your Pleasure

Give it another go, Geoff. Maybe listen late at night, or something. It's a wonderful, wonderful album. Certainly my favourite by them.

My favourite album's For Your Pleasure, it's the only one I really listen to all that often of the ones I have (the first three and Siren). My favourite song's Virginia Plain, I know it's obvious but it's the first one I heard and the one that convinced me to investigate further.
Is Country Life worth getting, though? I only like a couple of tracks on Siren and I do remember people saying that they went downhill after the first three, but HMV have it for £3.99 at the moment.

Favorite album - Probably Stranded, though I have a soft spot for Avalon, because every time I've ever put it on with a lady friend in the room- result! Right up there with most Marvin Gaye records as the sexiest record ever.
song - So many, couldn't really pick. Street Life, maybe. For now.

aLbum: 3 way tie of the first three.
each are simply faboo in their own way. the thing about the first one is just how OTHER it is. 'Pleasure' really does find all the pleasure centers in my brain and 'Stranded' really is the sound of a band snapping into gear. 3 fine slabs, I won't choose between them.
song:
win: In Every Dream Home a Heartache
place: A Really Good Time
show: Sunset

Never heard a whole album by them and only have a best of that came out a few years ago. On the basis of that, and other tracks I know of by them that I've heard elsewhere, I think I like their old stuff better than their later stuff, and I think I do need to explore those earlier albums further.
Despite which, I have a fondness nonetheless for "Oh Yeah" that is quite considerable.

Album - Roxy Music
Track - In every dream home a heartache
I can understand the reaction to the first album, if you're hearing it for the first time, now, but, to paraphrase my second selection, it blew my mind way back when, as I had bought it on the premise that Virginia Plain was an entertaining enough single.
