but 'Dream Home' is so creepily weird I had to vote for it.

I can't vote in the poll (I'm still eating at the kiddies' table), so I don't have to make the hard choice between the spellbindingly creepy "Dream Home" and the sublime title track. Overall this is probably my favorite Roxy album, although the first is so close that no daylight shows between 'em.

Welcome to PA Michael.....

All Roxy is good but my personal favorite is Country Life......but I'm going to take For Your Pleasure to work today and listen on the way there.

Kind of derailing the topic here, but any love for the first 2 Eno albums ?? To me, they are the equivalent of the first 2 Roxy albums......

I like the first 3 and Science also...but Taking Tiger Mtn is one of my all time favorite albums period.
There are some real gems on that one like Mother Whale Eyeless and True Wheel.
Thumbs Up

Love those early Eno albums. I love his ambient stuff as well, but I think it's a shame that even though he has occasionally returned to singing, he never really returned to the wacked-out surrealism of those first four vocal albums.

^ Indeed - but I love Put A Straw Under Baby - Wyatt sounds sweet, and is that a Calliope Eno is playing ??
The Fat Lady Of Limbourg is also a masterpiece.
The Paw-Paw Negro Blowtorch is cool - love the VCS3 'solo' in that
So much to like.
Even though after For Your Pleasure, Roxy generated a more 'accessible' sound, they still did well until Flesh And Blood.
Manifesto is very good, has a 'dark' quality to it.

The original Side 1 of Manifesto was great (including the non-disco version of "Angel Eyes"--they finally restored that on recent CD pressings, didn't they?). I liked Side 2 too, but it got a bit precious in parts. They did grow gradually more conventional/commercial with each release after FYP, yet Siren is one of my favorites even though the weirdness quotient was already almost nil by then.
