but you're lucky to have not got close to having finished with "Siren" yet; how i wish there was another Roxy Music album out there that i haven't worn out, although i still listen; go and buy "Siren"; some people think it's their best, and "Love is the Drug" is conveniently first eliminated

Can't choose between "In every dream home" and "Mother of Pearl" myself.
But very few albums start better than "Remake/Remodel".

Roxy Music was one of those bands that (in my opinion) never topped the first song on their first album.
Others: The Damned, Boston, The Doors, King Crimson

I bought the first album first and listened to it distractedly. "Sea Breezes" is the first song the really stuck out and made me rewind first the track and then the album. So "Sea Breezes".

Editions of You just ahead of Amazona. They are probably the only band with two songs in my top 20 of all time.

Pyjamarama--one of the definitive Roxy tracks in the whole oeuvre. How I WISH Soto had discussed it in his amazing series of Roxy podcasts...
― iago g., Monday, 5 April 2010 17:07 (fourteen years ago) link
Just discovering that "Amazona" clip upthread today, and it's amazing!
Never realized Phil's guitar fiff is kind of a variant of "It's Your Thing" by The Isley Brothers.

it's a three-way tie for me between "if there is something" (rawest vocals in the ferry canon), "dream home" and "amazona". so many songs of such a high calibre though.

I think I could get it down to "Virginia Plain" vs. "Mother of Pearl," but those are such differing sides of what I love about Roxy -- chaotic and glammy vs. stately and elegiac -- I cannot choose between the two.
