Greatly appreciate your Bruce rankings and intrigued by your Blake rankings. While I totally agree with this assessment, I own too many to ignore, and I think some of his recent albums have been actual projects as his mainstream popularity declined.

The Road Less Traveled has rather weak singles (by his high standards) but the back end is just so great, especially the Merle cover, so that is my tops. Love is Everything is positively a masterpiece. Blue Clear Sky is carried by its strong group of singles. I think Beyond the Blue Neon is probably deep enough to challenge it for the 3 spot on its singles, but has much more depth - that still gets plenty of turns for me.

Here for a Good Time has singles that rather bothered - except for the masterpiece that is "Drinkin' Man", perhaps his best ever - but I go back to some of those non-singles pretty often.

May go back to other artists later, but King George has a few!

Hot takes. I love Get Behind Me Satan, but Elephant has so many classic cuts. I love that record.

Deja is a very sentimental and personal record for me. Devil and God is phenomenal, but man does Deja have some heavy hitters.

1. For Your Pleasure (1973)
2. Avalon (1982)
3. Stranded (1973)
4. Roxy Music (1972)
5. Country Life (1974)
6. Siren (1975)
7. Flesh + Blood (1980)
8. Manifesto (1979)


Roxy Music is my favorite 70's band. For Your Pleasure is a great album. I alternate between Stranded and their debut as my top choice album. Avalon is a great work as well - very different in character from the Eno or even Jobson era albums. If the "Pyjamarama/Pride and Pain" single were included in For Your Pleasure though perhaps it would push it to the top. I love that single - Paul Thompson's drums especially. I don't think any band likewise had as consistent an oboist as McKay. Sax yes, but not also oboe. Manzanera with Roxy, with Eno, with 801, with Ferry, and on his solo project is just awesome too - a great textural guitarist. Yes, Ferry often talked about having a guitarist like PF's David Gilmour but I think that does Manzanera a major disservice. Tracks like "Cindy Tells Me" and "Amazona" - just brilliant.

Have you read any RM books?

I have The Thrill of It All: Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music by David Buckley and I've read Re-Make/Re-Model: Becoming Roxy Music by Michael Bracewell.

Buckley's book has a lot of direct sources but he is quite critical of Ferry's solo work - even saying it is worse than any RM album. Bracewell's book is not for the casual fan and is more academic in nature but I definitely learned quite a bit about their start and their inspirations. He does not really take positions on the music and its more of a pre-history up to the release of the first album.
