Roxy Music. At 50. 18:31 - Aug 11 with 6658 viewsDiscodroids

From Art School Rock to Detroit Funk to Yacht Rock to Berlin School Minimoog Experimental, to studio 54 hedonisim , Roxy celebrate 50 years as a Band this week.

When i first saw Ferry At 10 years old on the Old grey whstle test in Gi army unifrom with his tie tucked in between the 3rd and fourth buttons sigining 'Both ends burning' like an unhinged ' B' movie Hollywood Roman Emperor crazed on grape and syphillis , i was hooked.


The print Ferry and Roxy left on my tastebuds was ambrosial and indelible. All the Persil powder in the world could not shift it.

BBC have marked the occassion with the below fan appreciation link. From Nile Rogers who said they copied Roxy after seeing them in'74 and wanted Chic to be 'The Black Roxy Music', to Irvine Welsh, jim Kerr, Midge Ure, Bobby Gillespie, to the sparks, all laying the Love on Roxy with their personal stories...

Have a listen if you're a fan.

The man is style beyond any known parameters created by the Divine hand of God .

Trouble is, I can never get past the fact he lost his girlfriend to Mick Jagger.

Mrs Ted loved him back then, said something about him being the coolest Man on the planet.

My favourite track followed by a superbly sung cover of 'Smoke Gets In your eyes'




My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic.

Starts off like a hillbilly redneck coors light jam... Mutates into Rampton romper suit Madness.

'Growing potatoes by the score'

Only Roxy.

Avalon surely the best post nightclub making out album ever, Even Conor Washington would score with this in the deck

Me and some mates are thinking of setting up a Roxy Music tribute band.

We haven't got any musical talent and none of us looks like Ferry , but we do have a name.

Saw Roxy Music when I was 17 in Hollywood during the For Your Pleasure tour. Standing on the floor so wound up in the front. One of the female back up singers gave me a rose. Almost died! And bizarrely, I met her again about 25 years later as she worked in our school's music program..

Got to be backstage for one of their last LA shows around 2005. Hard to pick a favorite but always enjoy this:

@ Discodroids A perfect description of Roxy mate; stylish, funky, hip, sexy and sassy.... love is the drug.

Not sure why you linked it to the Telford sex abuse case to it though....

Maybe a basic opinion, but Love is The Drug is one of my top 10 songs ever, and often the first song to go on the list

You're a bit late, I saw a tribute band called Proxy Music at a music festival in Epping Forest about 12 years ago!

I realise the guys are getting on a bit but a bit stingy with the UK dates. Great swathes of the country not covered. The only gig in the South is the Millenium Dome, a venue that is difficult to get to for many outside London and not a great experience imho.

Expensive too for a decent seat and we've just shelled out a few hundred on Springsteen tickets for Hyde Park next year.

Shame, I've never seen them and would like to but am not tempted by this.

Ah right - and I thought I had it first.

Oh well, Poxy Music it is, then.
