both are quirky at best, hard to get into, quirky ballances in the bounderys of psychadelia, krautrock, canterburry, glam rock and avant/jazz.
strane erratic vocals and effects, highly expermiental and controversal, not to serious, with lots of irony.
I also can hear tiny details that one can compare each to periods (sonicly)
so what do you like mostly -------------

My avatar is self-explanatory but Gong is another major source of genius. ------------- "Secret career in counter-espionage, covering his fear in clever camouflage" Robert Calvert . "I don't remember, I don't recall, I've got no memory of anything at all" |

Gnome trilogy Gong. Early Roxy has yet to grab me. They sound like a band still in formation, testing this, trying that. It is unique and intriguing, but it also sounds rough to me a lot of times. Gong, on the other hand, while also unique and intriguing, sounds like a complete band. I know they are experimenting, but they've got their sound down. ------------- Songs that I sang before come softly once again, and the shadows of uncounted journeys cross my way. -- Hermann Hesse |

I can't vote because I haven't heard Roxy, but it's HIGHLY unlikely I'd like them more than Gong. Especially encompassing other era's of Gong. ------------- Which of you to gain me, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell? I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance. |

Nice poll. Gong for me, but Roxy with Eno is really out there too ! If you could find some old videos of Roxy with Eno... and their wild clothing there is some good ones out there, maybe on youtube. I clicked Gong, but i could have clicked both... too late :-) ------------- If you got ears, you gotta listen — Captain Beefheart |

Gong, but only by a narrow margin; the second half of For Your Pleasure is pure out-there genius, and if it had been recorded in Germany it would be hailed as a Krautrock masterpiece.
I've often wondered if Jerry Hall dumped Bryan Ferry because she couldn't face going through life called Jerry Ferry. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

Both are good, but I prefer Roxy's first two albums. ------------- |
