- Formed in Britain in 1970, the band Roxy Music was highly influential in the rock world. They added avant-garde elements of fashion and art to their performances, paving the way for bands such as U2, the Talking Heads and Duran Duran. Before a special reunion performance to celebrate the band's induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, "CBS This Morning: Saturday" co-host Anthony Mason sat down with lead singer Bryan Ferry to talk about the band's legacy.

this guy is absolute class, apart from his music he speaks beautifully, always immaculate in his appearance, in this interview he was 74!!! very very handsome and talented man
The first date with my husband was to a Roxy Music concert, our 36th wedding anniversary was 3 days ago.
So I guess Love Was The Drug for your longevity.Congradulations!

That is VERY cool
I was in a band from Boston that toured the U.S. with Roxy Music in 1979..We were called The Atlantics. It was the greatest time of my life.
Oh my god! I remember the Atlantics! Lonelyhearts! Ah ... the Rat, the Channel. It was a good time to be in Boston.
So sick
: !! A+
We LOVED the Atlantics! We lived near Lowell at the time and were fortunate to see you play at The Raft. Such great times. Lonely Hearts is a classic.
I remember The Atlantics!!!!! ABC records.
Avalon is one of those perfect albums that anytime you put it on it just draws you right in. A timeless classic, never get tired of it.
Oh yeeess!
I bought it on cassette in 1983 and still have it....now if I can just find a cassette player!
I used that song To Turn You On as panty loosener many, many times!!! In fact the whole CD was an aphrodisiac!!!!!
Probably the worst album they ever did, which is saying something.
How the same chap that wrote the first four Roxy albums can be responsible for the trash that is Avalon I'll never know.
Bryan Ferry was a genius. Lyrically, blending composition and style puts him at the head of the class. Smooth fella for sure.
Bryan Ferry is a legend. Brilliant music and timeless!
et surtout très narcissique
Tuff
What a life this man has lived...I mean, how cool is he??
And he's still cool now..I saw him perform live and met him back stage after.. he went from dripping in sweat singing Jealous Guy, to appearing backstage all groomed, suited and overcoat looking totally relaxed strolling out looking like an aristocratic professor or businessman in the space of 20-30 minutes was a remarkable thing to see.
How cool? Maybe only Bowie could compete. He may be the coolest. Iconic.
@@KingscrownTV indeed he was very special it’s so sad he had to pass
Best looking man I’ve ever seen when he was young. Dark hair, green eyes, clear skin. Gorgeous. He’s still gorgeous.
@@lilybond6485 Absolutely agree.
FINALLY!!!!!!!! The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame got a CLASS act!! They should have been in there YEARS ago. HUGELY influential and ahead of the game. I'm glad to have been a fan since 1972 and followed them and all the members since then. No one sounded like them during that time and they stood out. So clever, so forward looking, so smart, so elan, so decadent, so.. CHIC ( hello Nile Rodgers!!!). Some of the best concerts I have ever been to or seen were from Roxy and Bryan Ferry. Bryan is SOOO cool. He is my style icon. He is also a NICE guy to boot. I just WISHED that Eno would have showed up last night. It would have been so sublime. Oh well.. at least they are finally in. This fan is VERY happy. Peace
I hate to think they paved the way for Duran Duran.
Oppothumbs M 😂😂😂
It took a long time to induct another class act-The Moody Blues
@@oppothumbs1 Go back and listen to Rio. The bass alone is worth it.
@@Musique61414 I am not saying they didn't make interesting videos but they never made a seriously great song that one could listen to repeatedly on the radio or at home. Roxy Music has 12 great songs .. Neil Young has 45 .. Graham Parker has 25, etc. but if you are serious about Duran D. you can't be serious about great not so accessible music? Hey but I won't ask you to listen to their greats. Rio has a nice horn , not so much into the bass. Look I'm kidding ya a little.
I am 16 years old and I was very fortunate to have learned about the music of Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music through my dad. He’s one of their biggest fans. He has all their CDs. He would play them all the time whenever he’s working in his home office. And I got to listen to the music because my bedroom was right to his home office. The music grew on me over the years and now I listen to them on my iPhone all the time
You were so lucky
Thank your dad...
So he must have Quite a collection of vinyl albums! How do you play vinyl on your iPhone?
michael wertzy my dad has CDs. And I rip the CDs onto my iTunes
@ Thomas Wilke
Very cool 👍
Little did they know, Roxy Music would embark on a 50th anniversary tour in 2022. What a pleasure it was to see them perform live.
Gwenny3080! You are so right! What an iconic group! I attended msg nyc sept 2022 and roxy music and Bryan Ferry were wonderful! It was a super great time!
@@helenesteinberg7189 Yes - I saw them at the brand new Fenway MGM music hall in Boston in September. An amazing show truly. Sound AND vision.
Alex yes I attended msg nyc sept 12 2022 and they were wonderful....all of them!
I spent two hours stuck in an airport with Roxy Music in Sweden in 1976 or so. Brian was a true gentleman.
Björn Haglund stories please!
@ Bjorn Haglund
Cool story Thanks for the share !
Auspicious!
Wow. We're getting old. I was in the prime of my life when Avalon came out. Such a beautiful album.
@ SiriisGD
In 1972 I was fifteen and saw ROXY MUSIC at THE BOTTOM LINE, in NYC, when Jerry Hall walked onstage swinging the tail of her "costume". EVery time ROXY MUSIC played NYC, we were there. EVery Friday and Saturday nights we had tickets for rock concerts. Early show uptown at THE BEACON and late show downtown at
THE PALLADIUM. LOU REED played THE BOTTOM LINE, every Christmas Eve and I got seated at
GARLAND JEFFRIES table. IT WAS A GREAT TIME ! 63 years caught me January 1, 2020 and the music never stops!! When people comment, there's no good music out there, it blows my mind! VAN MORRISON, JEFF BECK, PETE TOWNSEND, all hve new releases and then some... yeah, it's outasite. So what you talkin' about - old??
SiriusGD Me too! 🤣
It sure is, sad they ended it there but at least they ended on a high note and classic solid album!
@Pason Jayne dunno how old you are BUT here’s a fair warning: DONT BLINK BABE!!!……yesterday I was 17……today I’m 47… you’ll see
@@LIZZIE-lizzie Awesome, Lizzie!.. But that was NOT 1972.. And if Jerry came on stage, it wasnt Roxy Music either! ( Ferry solo)
In all honesty Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music got me through my teenage years. I can't be more grateful.
I'm glad I helped you get through some tough times :)
Bryan Ferry and his music did more for my love life as a young man than I can describe. He was beyond cool and the music was so sophisticated and when I found a woman that appreciated it it was lightening in a bottle. I love the entire cannon, but Avalon was the secret sauce. Every Dream Home a Heartache may be my favorite Roxy song.
Working in a record store as a teen, I found a lot of music that never ever would get air play in my neighborhood. Roxy Music is a band that I got to tear the cellophane wrapper on, and spin for people coming into the store, I am glad my horizons were broadened by the experience. Bryan Ferry is one cool cat. Cheers! Mr. Ferry, respect and admiration
still a true gent and a stud.
The coolest man in history.
plev10 , absolutely spot on
No that would be bob dylan of whom ferry and bowie both idolize
jpmc MOTOR lmao Bob Dylan 😂
Yeah, Nick Cave is up there with him and Dylan.
Along with David Bowie
Brian Ferry, one of the sexiest men of all-time to grace Rock & Roll's stage!!!!!!!!
I don't know about one of the sexiest but he sure was full of himself
Yes, he’s got that certain something
I love Roxy Music sooo much, so deep.
It was the music of my younger days, and when I think of Bryan I see a suave, sophisticated, intellectual man who is also insular and timeless. His music was so influential yet he never copied others. His voice is so expressive and he radiated true emotion through it. He really is a true gentleman.
Very well said!
I’ve listened to Roxy Music and Mr Ferry my whole life. Never tire of them and it’s still sounds great today. Their music is the soundtrack to many parts of my life. Don’t Stop The Dance being my most played track, it’s so iconic. Thank you 🙏
Yes !!!! Finally and so deserving of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
So overdue. Roxy Music was more than a band. They were art meets rock. Bryan Ferry is a clever song writer and that class and style say it all!
@@monam.5923 Oh yes Ramona, I so agree with your reply, thanks !!!
Well deserved. More Than This is a MASTERPIECE
@@daveerwin6981 Agree Dave 👍

YASSSSSS
Serpentine sleekness was always my weakness
Great lyrics in that song
Brian Ferry and Roxy Music thanks for all the hits! such a gentleman.
Overated. Needed to spend more time disciplining his brat son.
Don’t stop the dance is such a great f n song
I remember seeing them for the first time at Allen theater in Cleveland Ohio
I had front row seats and was just 18 years old. Finally, to see them in the Rock Hall is long overdue.
This band was mesmerizing, innovative and Ferry was and still is a class act.
You can’t compare his vocal style to anyone else in rock. Congratulations Roxy Music!
...Excellent!,....saw them too in their early days,.....the Allen theater,...Public Hall,.....
Wasn't that their first American gig? They were an instant hit in Cleveland.
If you’re talking about the show in 1974 I was there as well. They were huge in Cleveland. I saw them there several times. DJ Kid Leo exposed us to a lot of great music back then.
Finally CBS This Morning does a story worth listening to!
Right on Mikey!!!!
True!
Let’s celebrate that, don’t spoil it
Yeah, 40 years too late. American media sucks.
I'm a fan since 1972 man I feel old but you just got to love them timeless!😊
….probably, my favorite band --- saw them in their early days, too, where they were HUGE,...…..Cleveland, Ohio,....the Allen Theatre,...Public Hall,.....
There should be an instant ban on anyone who gives a damn thumbs down for any Roxy Music video on here!!
lynch mob def
When I got here there were 18 Bieber fans
You must be a Democrat! BTW. Am a Roxy fan myself.
How very authoritarian
FUKKIN' AAA
Roxy's first four records are flawless masterpieces. The compositions are complex, Ferry's voice is perfect, the instrumental breaks are incredible. As an amateur music producer, every time I listen to one of Roxy's LP's, I hear something different, something new & am always inspired. The rock & roll hall of fame owes Roxy this memorial.
Right on
Rock and roll hall of Fame is just a joke, some musicians didn't even show up for their induction.
Bryan Ferry and Roxy was and remains one of THE influential bands that arose in the '70s. The Beatles ruled the 60's without any doubt, but leading into the 70's one band that had that power to influence generations after really wasn't possible, so the top bands of that time was actually incredible. Think about it, Roxy Music of course, but also Bowie, Elton John, The Sex Pistols, T-Rex, Velvet Underground and Led Zeppelin. It's these bands that continue to influence the music of today. I was born in '71 and I'm extremely thankful to have grown up in the game changing era that was the '70s. Thank you to every musician from then and the 80's. Amazing music being released every week and I was right in the middle of it. Thank you.
It is a point I often make, bands like RM were not considered greats then as they were in a time of greats. We were incredibly spoiled as kids in the 70s.
I'd add to your list Rory Gallagher, Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Bad Company.
And to think I used to see these bands every week and think nothing of it.
HOF is a sham but Roxy music definitely deserve all recognition.
The Rock and Roll HOF isn't what bestows legitimacy on a band like Roxy Music but what it CAN do is draw attention to their music and legacy to the larger public. I had a general awareness of Roxy Music as an early pioneering art rock band in the 1970s and I was certainly aware of Brian Eno's work with David Bowie and U2 among others but coming across this band since their induction I've taken a deeper dive into their catalog and really have gotten into them lately. I'm sure I'm not alone there.
One of the most under looked singers and band!Bryan Ferry is one of the most unique singers!love him!
The Cary Grant of rock/popular music.
THIS GUY WAS SOO HANDSOME WHEN HE 1ST CAME ON THE SCENE...COULD'VE BEEN A MOVIE STAR/AN HIS MUSIC...WAAAYY AHEAD OF THE REST..WHAT A SINGER/PERFORMER...UNDERSTATED CLASS./CLASS ACT WITHOUT EVEN TRYING TO BE.
no need to type all caps, though
Stop shouting!!
I was 15 when Roxy Music came on the scene and I was transfixed by their sound along with the look.You just couldn't take your eyes off them,I remember thinking;"What planet are these guys from"?
POSH
Bryan has consistently come across as a class act. It’s a challenge to keep a band together over time. Check out most of the historical pics. The band as a team comes through. Like a musical family. That isn’t always the case with most bands. Credit to Bryan. Still going strong.
I think it's safe to say that, had there been no Roxy Music, not only would Duran Duran have not come along, but ABC, Spandau Ballet, Style Council, and, yes, A Flock Of Seagulls, also never would have existed. To say that Roxy was influential is vastly understating it.
Not even the sex pistols
Damn right!! Martin Fry has to be his illegitimate son
Yes, and they also influenced David Sylvian and the band Japan.
Chic was also influenced by them.
Depeche mode as well... you can see Dave Gahan singing along to "Love is the drug" in a backstage scene in their 101 documentary.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ROXY MUSIC! Very well deserved award.
Bryan and Roxy Music are so underrated and simply incredible.
...Underrated in the USA. So was the entire resulting brilliant British New Wave/New Romantic era! Meanwhile, in the UK: They were beloved and still are! I caught up with them in NY at the release of 'Country Life', with the original cover! They became a favorite musical drug.
One of the BEST bands in history, and Ferry, one of the best lyricists of all time. They and Ferry always had the most beautiful women in their MV.
A friend turned me on to Roxy, The Sirens album, in 1981. In 1983 I was picking someone up at the airport in Boston. Bryan Ferry was on the same flight from New York. I talked to him for 5 minutes alone at the terminal. Very humble. He had a bad cold,too.
I simply adore him and his music . Two years ago my dream became reality when I saw him in Milan . ❤
Could you just imagine him,David Bowie and Robert Palmer on stage together? Total class! RIP Bowie and Palmer
Bryan Ferry is a music genius. Roxy Music was so NEW it created its own genre of music. That's how talented it was. 100% totally unique. 1 of 1.
They were given the songs by Tavistock institute
@@pierremchughes9865 To make such a statement credible/authentic or true, it requires a reference and for total credibility several references. Otherwise I can only assume it is completely fictitious.
@@Blackscorpion1963 that mean you need leading by the hand ? Do your own digging
@@pierremchughes9865 I think we both know you're full of it. Troll somewhere else.
@@Blackscorpion1963 full of truth
I worked next door to Bryan's London home, in the early 80s. We'd occasionally get his post mistakenly delivered with ours. I'd see him passing by several times a week, and I was once behind him in a local newsagent's whilst he purchased a packet of Marlboro. He was tall, slim, sharply dressed and very handsome - just like his photos.
Roxy Music epitomises my teenage and early 20s. Even now they give me great comfort and pleasure.
I heard Dance Away a lot on the radio in 1979. It was my senior year in high school. It was also my introduction to the band and I've been a fan ever since!
"I blew you up and you blew my mind!"
Half the generation of young men wanted to be Bryan Ferry. The other half wanted to be Bowie.
I wanted to be both
I wanted to be Orville Redenbacher

'You float in my new pool, deluxe and delightful'
I used to stand on my mums toes and dance with her to Avalon when i was little. Music has such power. Miss you mum.❤
Congratulations, well deserved.
Well deserved accolades for a very influential band, although I wouldn't categorize Ferry's post-Avalon style as rock. Their early work is stunning, even without Eno.
I have never been able to imagine Brian Ferry as a working class Geordie. Truly a self made man in all respects
Jon..yes I respect Bryan Ferry for his work ethic! He has always done a professional job and he is a hardworking classy elegant man! I attended msg nyc sept 12 2022 and the a whole group was wonderful! It must have been a lot of effort performing songs written 50 years ago in different cities all in 1 month!
I saw Bryan Ferry in concert approximately 4weeks ago,in Wellington, New Zealand.It was an outstanding show in every way.The singers and musicians accompanying him were all very talented.Bryan Ferry is classy,on and off stage.If you get a chance to see one of his concerts,you won’t be disappointed.
This is one band I really wish I had gotten a chance to see in concert, grew up with them, glad they've been inducted, truly,truly well deserved
I saw them on their Country Life tour. I'm glad I saw them but they were not very dynamic on stage, except for Eddie Jobson.
So glad they got into the Hall Of Fame.
FINALLY! Roxy Music was absolutely essential to the new romantic, punk, new wave, even goth.
Most of those bands hail Roxy as influences.
One of the truly great bands of their time. Art rock at its finest.
Every year the Rock and Roll hall of fame bar gets lowered. Except fo this one moment this year when Roxy Music was finally inducted and honor way overdue
One of the very few musical bright spots of the 70's. Long over due and well deserved.
Bravo!
@So Angry I was definitely there. There were some good groups to emerge in the 70's but I don't think "dripping" best describes the introduction of new talent for that decade.
The topic of "good music" obviously comes down to the type(s) of music that appeals to the individual and I respect that. I do agree that EWF and BOC represent some of the best talent to surface in the 70's or any decade for that matter.
@So Angry I never said "I couldn't find anything" in the emergance of 70's music. I said there were a few bright spots. There were super groups that would emerge but the field was cluttered with a tremendous amount of junk, just my opinion.
@So Angry 70's music was simply a derivative of what had passed before. The differece was the recording industries insatiable appetite to fill the airways with easily produced dance music that yielded high financial return. If you ask people what musical genre best defines the 70's, sadly, most will reply "Disco". I'm not suggesting that the talent wasn't there, it was. I'm saying that the number of great artitist to emerge during the 70's was in decline due to the cookie cutter noise pushed by the industry, thus my "few bright spots" comment. There was talent that defied the odds and managed to rise above the clamor because they were just too good to ignore.
@@mightylonesome9426 And yet, probably the most groundbreaking record of the 70s was a "disco" song: Donna Summer's I feel love.
very few? Let's see, apart from Roxy Music: David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Tom Waits, Van Morrison, Steely Dan, Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Traffic, Hawkwind, Frank Zappa, Queen, Supertramp, Genesis, King Crimson, Sex Pistols, Thin Lizzy, Joy Division are pretty bright spots to me.
Outrageous that they don't even mention Eddie Jobson. He changed the entire sound of Roxy after Eno left and contributed greatly to their three best albums and to their enormous success '73--'76!
He got his moment the day of the ceremony. 🙂
You love the right band - but 3,4,5 were definitely not their 3 best albums. By far not!
Thank you Roxy Music. You produced great music in spades. Never get tired of them.
Bryan Ferry, the true king of cool.
Brilliant songwriter and even Bowie admired him.
Bryan Ferry is a class act very outlandish in his fashion and embellishments yet a very classy, noble gentleman who sang with
such haunting beauty and timelessness. We love you always Bryan!
One of the best concerts ever attended was Bryan Berry. An underrated giant of modern music.
Still Glorious...❤❤❤
He is the greatest style icon the music world has ever produced, with Robert Palmer a close second.
Their music has covered more ground than any three bands you can think of, and Bryan was the godfather of the New Romantic movement.
The ultimate chic soundtrack, from the beginning to the end.
They were popular in Cleveland Ohio due to airplay on WMMS back in the day. They opened their first
American tour in Cleveland. A truly great band.
Bryan, looking forward to seeing you in Detroit in August! Aging like a fine wine Sir!!!!
2022 Roxy Music and Bryan are now 50 years on the scene, oh my god legend!
Thank you mr @bryanferry for all your efforts and beautiful music. 🙏🎩
You are my legend 🌹💫🧚♀️💞
His solo work should also be recognised too! Boys and Girls Album is a timeless masterpiece.!
Exactly. Boys and Girls is one of favourite albums of all. It is a sonic masterpiece.🌠✨
Love More Than This and Avalon
So sweet! And as an American fan, i love the absolutte English response of his last chance response.
Saw him this week in Atlanta. What a great concert it was.
Been a Roxy Music fan since when I first saw them perform Virginia Plain and as much as I love all their albums, the first 4 are still my favourites. Saw them live many many times and still listen to them all the time..Also love Bryan Ferrys solo stuff..That guy is the epitome of cool..Definitely deserve their place in the Rock and Roll hall of fame..
Glad to see Roxy got in. Avalon is one of the smoothest songs I’ve ever heard
Still gorgeous after all these years.... Yay!!
Bryan Ferry and Sting - two of Newcastle's finest exports. My personal spirituality has been positively and seriously strengthened by these two geniuses...
Greatest musician! A shame they weren't in Hall of fame before. They are such a essential band in modern music.
Yes that is where they belong in the Rock N Roll Hall of fame. Big influence on many bands that followed including crimson pomegranates. We are big fans of Roxy Music.
Don't stop the dance Mr. Ferry. Good music, good memories.
Loved Roxy Music since their beginnings. Just one of the true originals in pop music. Brilliant!
What a fantastic interview with the great Mr Ferry, such an influence on many others and produced some of the most memorable tracks, the band consistently turning out classic after classic and they still sound fresh today...
A British Band through & through.Brian was the avant-garde Prince who dazzled our humble working class abode & stepped out of the hum-drum class divided UK & gave us wings to set us FREE.
Just saw him last night in Boston. It was amazing. Just awesome
Bryan Ferry; long life to you and thank you very much for your beautiful music. Amen
Thank you for the kind words Gilbert!
@@TheRealActualBryanFerry ; May God Bless You.
If your listening to roxy you've got taste if your listening to viva at 5 in the morning well the night is not done
Flesh and Blood for me is their best work.
One of the very best albums that's ever been released in any genre of music.
Simply majestic polished sound from Ferry and the boys !!!
I agree JC! The title song always gets me to awake from a crappy day! But it's too short, so I would just turn my car radio off and be happy for the rest of the way home!
Agreed! Flesh and Blood is the first vinyl album I ever had. Love it from start to finish. Especially My Only Love and Running Wild. It's also my favorite album cover. 🌠✨
@@scottfree2248
I agree. As album covers go, it's so iconic. Definitely, one of the very best out there !!!
One of the best stylish pop bands of all times !
Saw them in 2001 and 2003 two nights I'll remember for the rest of my life!
"Treasure so rare, even devils might care." Roxy Music in a nutshell. From Beauty Queen, the album For Your Pleasure. My favorite Roxy Music lyrics from my favorite Roxy Music album. I've known them by heart since they were burned in 46 years ago.
Valerie, please believe
It never could work out
The time to make plans
Has passed
Faded away
Ooh, the way you look
Makes my starry eyes shiver
Then I look away
Too much for one day
One thing we share
Is an ideal of beauty
Treasure so rare
That even devils might care
Your swimming pool eyes
In sea breezes they flutter
The coconut tears
Heavy-lidded they shed
Swaying palms at your feet
You're the pride of your street
While you worship the sun
Summer lover of fun
Gold number with neighbours
Who said that you'll go far
Maybe someday be a star
A fast-mover like you
And your dreams will all come true
All of my hope and my inspiration
I drew from you
Our life's pattern's drawn in sand
But the winds could not erase
The memory of your face
Deep in the night
Plying very strange cargo
Our soul ships pass by
Solo trips to the stars
In the sky
Gliding so far
That the eye cannot follow
Where do they go
We'll never know
He's lost his epic vibrato but not his amazing presence ❤️
Still love Roxy Music until this day, just fantastic music, Bryan Ferry was great.
I heard Avalone back in the '80s and it has since remained in the top 10 albums I never get tired of listening to. Roxy and Ferry are a rare, priceless, timeless combo.
Why in the name of sweet jesus has it taken so long for Roxy to be inducted into RnR Hall of Fame?
One of the greatest bands of all time fronted by the coolest guy in the world, Bryan Ferry.
In a perfect and just world, there'd be no RnRHoF.
MORE THAN THIS....... \,,/
British Music Is Great!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I’ve seen Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry a dozen times in the last 45 years including the 50th Anniversary Tour and I’m eternally grateful for them especially Bryan.
Thank you Zeke for being a fan all these years!
@@TheRealActualBryanFerry I was introduced to Roxy Music in the mid 70’s by my friend’s older brother and saw my first show in 1979 at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. I saw the 50th Anniversary show with him all these years later. Music has an incredible ability to bring people together and I’m always grateful to Danny for introducing me to RM and progressive and glam rock all those years ago.
Brings me right back to the seventies. I always loved his music and still do. Loved the song from the 70s Virginia plain. What a hunk. Just another high was another favorite as well as both ends burning.
I thought Virginia Plain was one of the most beautiful and thought provoking songs I have ever listened to in my life along with Bowie's Space Oddity. And I am a die hard Duran Duran fan. Thats says a lot about them as an influence on an entire generation!
More than this is one of my all time favorite songs. I was 12 when it came out.
My best song! It's a beauty, that's for sure
To this day, Avalon remains at the top of my list of favorite albums of all time. Roxy Music, way overdue induction but well worth the wait!
'Avalon' is one of those truly perfect albums that only gets better with each passing year.
