Roxy Music "Avalon" Poll

Jagger!

Ooh! Someone called me bitch! Oh honey, I'm flattered!

"True To Life" is just the shit, it really is. God, that song needs moonlight, and a nice nightcap.

And let me take this opportunity to say that the "Avalon" single b-side "Always Unknowing" is as good as anything on the album.

still would pick the main thing but true to life has really been sounding good to me lately

love all the songs on this but

"To Turn You On" – 4:16 12
"While My Heart Is Still Beating" (Ferry, Andy Mackay) – 3:26 0

seems a bit off tbh

I forget what I voted for but it really could have been any of them.

quick ranking w/o much thought

"The Main Thing"
"True to Life"
"Avalon"
"The Space Between"
"While My Heart Is Still Beating"
"More Than This"
"Tara"
"To Turn You On"
"Take a Chance With Me"
"India"

I just want to say one more time how much I adore "True To Life". Thanks.

Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night.

So I turn the pages and tell the story
From town to town
People tell me to be determined
Poor country boy

Too much luck means too much trouble
Much time alone
But arm in arm with my seaside diamond
I'll soon be home

Well the music just came to mind like that
