This song is so fucking good.

[tonkali]

@eyaddarras

One of my favs.

[ClassicRockSovereign]

This song reminds me a little bit of ELO. Of course, Roxy Music is much better than ELO (as is this song), but still. Great music, one of THE best bands ever.

@lyonslaforet I agree!! Roxy is one of my favorits bands!

[lyonslaforet]

Roxy Music were one of the best British bands in the history of rock!

@JeffELOLynne Compliment..Someone with your knowledge and perception deserves only a compliment..Take it easy..Maybe will talk again, down the road..

[JeffELOLynne]

@801liveable Sorry mate, it'll be my bad English, but was that last comment a compliment or a blame?

[801liveable]

@JeffELOLynne Yeah, I do like 801..Hey, thanks for the Duncan Browne tip. I'll get on it. One more thing. I like communicating with someone who knows what they speak of. Take care friend.

[JeffELOLynne]

@801liveable I agree 500 procent with lyrics comment. Alot of ELO's lyrics were pretty lame, I'm the first one to admit that. I see that your a 801 fan, these guys rock!!! If I may recommend an artist: Duncan Browne. Plz check some of his songs, Im sure you'll like it;)

@JeffELOLynne I'm specifically inclined to the lyrics side of things right now. Go over some of Ferry's.Nothing like it then or now.In terms of music first check out the 3rd stanza of 'Both Ends Burning", Siren album. A few groups, Duran Duran one, based their whole musical persona on that. Listen to 'Same Old Scene" Flesh and Blood album. Like I said I'm not knocking ELO. I like them. Roxy Music is a new wave/progressive/glam band. It's all ones's taste/perception. You see?

[JeffELOLynne]

@JeffELOLynne @801liveable What made them artrock as well were their intelligent arrangements and, most of all, their experimentalism. The latter doesn't make there compositions more complex or "clever", but adds a strange effect to their music which would be otherwise rather simple pop/rock music. Just take a look at a lead sheet from ELO's early days and one from Roxy Music's early days: you'll notice the difference right away;)

[JeffELOLynne]

@JeffELOLynne @801liveable To me, I see a much bigger evolution in ELO's music than in Roxy's. They moved from complicated yet romantic artrock to orchestrated pop/rock to disco and in the eighties they updated their sound as well. Sometimes it's difficult to believe all that comes from the same band. Roxy Music has a more unique sound indeed, but alot of that had to do with the simplism of their work that set them apart from other groups(they were a "popart" band).

[JeffELOLynne]

@801liveable Ferry's writing isn't complex at all. Roxy Music's first 2 albums derive alot from rock n' roll music(such as most glamrock artists, including David Bowie) and their mid-period albums also use a minimal amount of different chords, often displaying a very minimal and repetitive sort of music( such as minimalism in classical music). Lynne's compositions were more baroque and had alot of common with the progrock movement(at least his earlier works).
