Roxy Music is an English art rock group founded in the early 1970s by art school graduate Bryan Ferry (vocals and keyboards).
Brian Eno, who played synthesizer and is probably best known for his extensive work with U2, was a member for awhile.

Roxy Music was active from 1971 through 1983, and reunited for a concert tour in 2001. There has been talk of recording a new album for an as yet-to-be-confirmed release date.

Introducing Roxy Music 

Roxy Music attained mainstream popular and critical success in the UK and Europe during the 1970s and early 80s, beginning with their 1972 Top 10 debut album, Roxy Music.

The band exerted significant influence on the early British punk movement, and also served as a "role model" for many New Wave performers and the subsequent New Romantic and experimental electronic artists of the early 1980s.

Ferry and co-founding member Eno have both had successful solo careers, the latter emerging as one of the most significant record producers of the late 20th century, whose credits include landmark albums by U2, Devo, Talking Heads, and later Coldplay.

Rolling Stone magazine ranked Roxy Music #98 on its "100 The Greatest Artists of All Time" list.

Love is the Drug 

Roxy Music's first and biggest hit... and my least favorite, but hey, that's just me!
This is a live concert version of the song.

More Than This 

Possibly Roxy Music's best known mainstream song, as it was remade by 10,000 Maniacs in 1997.

Roxy Music - More than this

1982, Bryan Ferry del album Avalon "More than this". Roxy Music es un grupo de rock surgido en la primera mitad de los años 1970 que representa el movimiento glam en todo su caótico y ambiguo poder. La música de Roxy Music constituye una bizarra mezcla entre un pop irónico y la rebeldía tradicional del rock 'n' roll que se vio enriquecida por la teatral actividad de su vocalista Bryan Ferry, así como por las originales texturas del sintetizador de quien sería uno de los más rigurosos e innovadores pilares de la música actual... Lyrics: "More than this" I could feel at the time There was no way of knowing Fallen leaves in the night Who can say where they´re blowing As free as the wind And hopefully learning Why the sea on the tide Has no way of turning More than this - there is nothing More than this - tell me one thing More than this - there is nothing It was fun for a while There was no way of knowing Like dream in the night Who can say where we´re going No care in the world Maybe i´m learning Why the sea on the tide Has no way of turning More than this - there is nothing More than this - tell me one thing More than this - there is nothing
