There is only ONE Bryan Ferry! David is nice but..... no contest. ------------- I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth. |

| I have wondered what Fripp and Ferry could have done on an LP. |

Former bands Ferry, as solo Sylvian. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

Sylvian has the better voice in my opinion. Ferry can sound quite annoying, although Roxy Music has the edge on Japan as a band. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

I like Roxy Music almost as much as Japan, but what I've heard of Ferry's solo work doesn't compare to the brilliance of what Sylvian has done since Japan. I also absolutely love his vocals.

If the question was Roxy or Japan then I would struggle a lot to decide which I prefered in fact I might not be able to decide. However, Sylvian edges it over Brian Ferry. ------------- Help me I'm falling! |

Ferry, because I have no Japan and Sylvian's solo albums that I have haven't really grown strongly on me. Come to think of it, only one of Bryan's that I have knocked my socks off the first time I heard it: Olympia. David's The First Day would be a good second and I think I like the other solos I have better than the other Ferry solos I have. Hmm, maybe I should have voted Sylvian.  By the way, what's this thing he has with bees?  ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
