Roxy Music Prog Related or Eclectic /Avant Garde

I have only their two first and Avalon but based on their two first albums they are not so much different then VDGG (I only have Pawns Heart but would like to have more had they been more axesable) in Sax sound and wierdness, Brians vocal style makes them more then just a wierd pop rock band . their mixture of Glam and everything else makes them unique.
but for me only having their two first albums lack any valueabel opinions about their inbetween stuff but their two first is genuinly RIO (rock in OPOSITION )

but this have been asked for more then once with bad outcome and becouse they are most famous for their more comercial stuff their artistical merits are often overlooked.

and Avalon is the prettiest album evver made by the way pure beauty (which i will play on my first date if that ever happens)

If you like the self titled and For Your Pleasure, you should like Stranded and Country Life. The song "The Thrill Of It All" reminds me of an early Bowie song. I remember people at the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" viewing about a thousand years ago, discussing Roxy Music and claimed them the Progressive rock glitter band. Of course as we all know, they were part of the Glitter Rock Scene. They were linked or represented somehow through the Glitter rock in the 70's but, were thought to be strange and off-beat from many other bands. That being the reason for the curious record buying rock music fan to pick up on their titles. After they gained this reputation of being in a progressive vain, they shortly afterwards went commercial. I lost track of them and never knew if they ever returned to their early style.  .
