The entire album is classic Roxy - there isn't a duffer cut to be found on the first two records.

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

A monument to music, rock, prog and art ....Beauty Queen is my all-time fave , a crooner classic with sublime lyrics. Editions of You is the first punk song while The Bogus Man initiated the trance/dance style. A defining work that still sounds fresh today. Yes I am a fan !!!!!!

^ & ^^ - Yes and yes. What marvellous albums, both. As for the poll, hard to single out a favourite, but I can really sink my teeth into The Bogus Man (so to speak !!). These guys definitely created something unique for the time - really ahead of their time.

I love this album and it was a hard choice. I went in the end with "Editions Of You". Mainly for Eno's solo. I think only " Grey Lagoons" is the weakest track. And even then that's still better than most other bands output. Roxy Music, they were just so great!

It's a near artrock-masterpiece but the Bogus Man is probably my favorite Roxy-tune.

Do the Strand. When I think of Roxy Music, this is certainly a defining song, and I love the pounding keys.
My favorite Roxy album by far is Country Life. Great guitar, no Brian Eno.

Country Life , with its famous cover still banned TODAY from our site, is a great album, so is the previous Stranded. In fact , the first 5 Roxy Music albums are stunning. But of course, I am biased....Thankfully

It's a long time since I've heard this album and I can't remember how half of the songs go. But In Every Dream Home A Heartache has stayed with me for years so I'd go with that one.

What's wrong with Grey Lagoons? Literally just got done drumming along to it. My favorite track along with Beauty Queen. Love the sheep sounding vocals

The Bogus Man was always a number to which I could relate. ;) But it's a superb album of great invention.

| Well technically something has to come last in polls like this and unfortunately it seems to be "Grey Lagoons". And even then it's better than " Strictly Confidential ".
