Album: Olympia - Bryan Ferry (2010)

(The album artwork features fashion model Kate Moss and refers to the Édouard Manet 1863 painting of the same name. The design is also reminiscent of the first Roxy Music album.)

Album: Avalon – Roxy Music (1982)

Avalon (1982) was a major commercial success and restored the group's critical reputation and contained the successful single "More Than This", which arguably is the group's signature tune.

Flesh & Blood (1980) and Avalon (1982) are my favorite Roxy Music albums.

Album: Flesh and Blood – Roxy Music (1980)

Now we are reaching my favorite Roxy Music era, the band changed the production for their late 70s and early 80s albums into a more pop-friendly, polished and smooth sound, and not as raw as it was in the beginning of their career.

As great as Avalon (1982) is, Flesh and Blood (1980) is probably the Roxy Music album I return to the most. Enjoy!

Same Old Scene - Roxy Music

My Only Love - Roxy Music

Oh Yeah! – Roxy Music

(According to Steven at The Void-Go-Round, during the chorus, Ferry sings about the joy of a radio that exudes nostalgia)

Over You - Roxy Music

No Strange Delight - Roxy Music

1981 non-album single

Jealous Guy – Roxy Music (John Lennon cover)

(Roxy Music recorded "Jealous Guy" as a tribute to Lennon after his death in 1980. The song topped the UK charts for two weeks in March 1981, becoming the band's only No. 1 single.)

This year, I've listened to all the studio albums of Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry, many of the songs I had never heard before. I already knew the hits. Here's a chronological timeline of my favorite tracks, starting from the beginning. I didn't realize the band's album artwork is so provocative. Many of lead singer Bryan Ferry's solo tracks are cover songs.

Album: Roxy Music - Roxy Music (1972)

Virginia Plain – Roxy Music

If There Is Something - Roxy Music

(The ending of the song is memorable in my opinion, that section was used in in the movie Flashbacks of a Fool (2008)

Album: For Your Pleasure - Roxy Music (1973)
