The Greatest Music
Roxy Music
by Roxy Music
The 309th greatest album of all time
Roxy Music's 1972 self-titled debut blends glam rock's stylish theatricality with art rock experimentation, pairing Brian Ferry's suave vocals and pop songcraft with Brian Eno's electronic treatments and angular instrumental textures. The record juxtaposes concise, melodic tracks and cinematic arrangements with studio experimentation and art-school sensibilities, helping define the band's sleek aesthetic and an art-glam approach to rock.
