Love these two so much. Can't believe you only rate them with three stars. Roxy gets it as Showdown isn't part of the original UK version of On the Third Day.

Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure
Electric Light Orchestra - On the Third Day

Putting Oldfield aside, it has to be 'For Your Pleasure'. Roxy never sat well with the prog crowd, probably because they appeared on Top of the Pops a lot...

Roxy Music have always been Glam Rock to me. Roxy Music are to Prog what Jeremy Clarkson is to diplomacy.

ELO. I like Mike Oldfield a lot but TB isn't the one I go to by him (Ommadawn or Incantations). I also like Roxy but they were quite erratic across those early albums, gtreat bits and not so great bits imo.

I heve not listened to Roxy Music's For Your Pleasure since 1989 when staying at beach house north of Cairns (one of the best times in my life). Listening to the album now and loving it! Totally hits the proverbial spot.

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment.

On the Third Day, my favorite ELO album. I will be unavailable as a ghost, but you can rent me as a cement truck.

This is so unique. If I knew of some series or movie that used this, I would have seen it just because of that:



Somehow I think both The Bogus Man and the title track both have a "underwatery" quality to them. In very different ways, but still.

Very nice, when you mentioned a movie, the first thing to come to mind was "The Man With the Bogus Gun" (with Christopher Lee perhaps sporting a bogus third nipple). "A duel between titans, my bogus gun against your Walther PPK" (Scaramanga). And it could work for some "Carnivale" like show methinks.
