Best Roxy Music Album

There's some missteps but I don't they ever went in for filler, as such.

"Song For Europe" is a slight slog, but "Sunset" is one of the most perfect album endings by anyone, ever.

sunset is a nice comedown from mother of pearl, and definitely works in the context of the album, but i've never had the urge to listen to it by itself.

yeah, that's why i qualified--failed experiments aren't the same as filler.

F+B's got the filler.

I love "Song for Europe" with every cell in my body. When Ferry starts singing in French, man, what a warped, emotionally charged, ridiculous and overflowing with europeanness moment.

I, for one, am glad to see some love for Olympia. I can listen to it from beginning to end without a single skip.

he starts singing in Latin before he switches to French!

It's such a marvelous mess, all of it.

Ferry singing in French reminds me of Kenneth Williams singing Crepe Suzette and I still love it.

.. only more camp.

The Pitchfork Sunday review today is 'For Your Pleasure.' Some intriguing points were made concerning connections between British art schools and British art rock. I don't care. The rating score he gave for the album is 9.5. Everybody knows that this is a 10 album, if there is such a thing as a 10 album. It is perfect in every way and one cannot even conceive of how it could be improved upon. So for the love of God, what sort of logic could lead to a 9.5 score? Do I even want to know?

I'd rate FYP an 8 and I love Ferry more than you love your girlfriend.

I’m as gay as a unicorn ranch Soto, which reveals the inherent illogic of this discussion so, checkmate Mary!

yeah i don't know, FYP would be a 10 to me. It's one of my favorite albums of all time.
