Can't say I'm much of a lyrics person, so I'll have to pay some attention to them from now on. |

My all time favorite band.
Saw the Stranded,Country Life,Siren,Manifesto,Flesh & Blood,Avalon tour + 2 shows when they reunited a few years back. Nobody sounds like them and nobody ever will.

God I haven't heard Avalon in many many years... though large parts of it are stuck in my head. My mother loved that album. We do need to get that again and just finish off getting their albums.

My take on the debut album.
You need to give this band a chance if you haven't yet. Very rewarding stuff.

You know interestingly enough, out of all the vocalists in prog, proto, or related, Bryan's the one I can do the best imitation of.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Was this the Hollywood Paladium show?
It was a good one!

the bogus man and for your pleasure actually scared me. The gruop's deep intelligence seemed to play sideways, at times, wth eno. We enjoyed the spacious jamming to never-never land. This group was definetly a trip. On "sunset" the way ferry is tripping at the sun on the globe is funny.
And scary, too

Roxy Music and the Flaming Lips will co-headline the
Isle of Wright’s annual Bestival in September. Festival organizers also
announced the year’s “fancy dress theme,” which will be “fantasy.”

I basically love all their records except Flesh+Blood. Whether doing art rock or smooth pop, they had a knack for getting it right (7 out of 8 isn't too shabby!).

Valerie please believe
It never could work out The time to make plans Has passed, faded away Oooh the way you look Makes my starry eyes shiver Then I look away Too much for one day One thing we share Is an ideal of beauty Treasure so rare That even devils might care Your swimming-pool eyes In sea breezes they flutter The coconut tears Heavy-lidded they shed Swaying palms at your feet You're the pride of your street While you worship the sun Summer lover of fun Gold number with neighbours Who said that you'll go far Maybe someday be a star A fast mover like you And your dreams will all come true All of my hope, and my inspiration I drew from you Our life's pattern's drawn in sand But the winds could not erase The memory of your face Deep in the night Plying very strange cargo Our soul-ships pass by Solo trips to the stars - in the sky Gliding so far That the eye cannot follow Where do they go We'll never know BEAUTY QUEEN Amazing!

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.
