FOR YOUR PLEASURE

For Your Pleasure is another really good studio album from Roxy Music. There's little music from the early 70's that combined such an arty/experimental attitude with so much poppy catchyness. No wonder they got such a far reaching respect during the 80's.

The album is a bit uneven unfortunately. While it has some of my Roxy favourites with Bogus Man, In Every Dreamhome and For Your Pleasures, some of the tracks are rather bland. Beauty Queen is too much of a croon song for me, and also the rockabilly of Grey Lagoons is rather tiresome. Everything else is just excellent.

Roxy Music isn't a band I listen to regularly but they're sure one of the best popular groups from the 70's. 3.5 stars for the 33 minutes of magic.
