Eno is like totally overrated.

[SolsburyHill22]

@tommyommy100 I agree

@abrokenframe82

i was a huge Bowie, Roxy, Reed, VU, Jobriath fan in the early 70's but must admit that Roxy was the one who influenced my hair style, dress sense, future music sense(?)

[tommyommy100]

Perhaps if Roxy had Jerry Hall on 'tapes and treatments' and Eno on the front covers things might have been different i.e. better. I believe Eno's greatest musical influence/instrument to be the Oblique Strategizer which says it all really.

@dibblemansun Tbf I felt that they'd already proven that they could continue without Eno on the two albums prior to "Siren". His departure seemed to take nothing from the band for me, not to take anything from his contribution to the first two albums.

@tommyommy100 In terms of what he did with Roxy Music I totally agree with you. He was doing something quite different after he left which was, like Roxy, quite innovative so I respect him for that. People always go on about when great musicians leave bands and the detriment it has on the music, but with Roxy Music Eno's departure seemed to have no more effect than Simpson's or Thompson's. He didn't write the material either, unlike most musicians given similar credit.

by far and away the best track on siren , eno was a class act but this shows roxy could carry on and evolve as a band without him , makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up every time i hear it , so ahead of their time

it lives beyond "glam rock" although it is part of that history..a lot of Ferry's style comes from his art teacher Richard Hamilton...pretty cool stuff..you can see the Roxy imagery and subtext in it...anyway,,,not trying to look smart...just zoning out on this tune....and typing lol

[InvisibleMountain]

And yes, definitely still experimental at this point...really up until about Avalon,,in differing degrees...the 1st album..wow...but For Your Pleasure...crazy..plus the 808 stuff as well...love Eno..but didn't miss him here. fantastic guitar work in this band..major influence

[InvisibleMountain]

Oh man..takes me back to a certain time, but this album is always with me..usually only a couple of months go by before I explore it again.. reminds me of so many times in my life starting at about 15..just starting to play guitar..and do other stuff. Thank you Solsbury, cause I had been hearing this song, Both Ends, and Nightingale for a couple of days now in my head..I go to the turntable..and, ouch belt broke...so I looked on YouTube...Thanks Man, for real..made my night
