"Stranded" - The high point for Roxy Music?

Stranded, Roxy's third album, released in 1973, is arguably their best album, with subsequent albums showing a slow but gradual decline in quality. The boys recall seeing Roxy Music at the Sydney Entertainment Centre - once in 2001 and then in 2011.  The 2001 concert was a great career retrospective and the boys were rapt when the band started the show with "Remake/Remodel" from the first album.  And THEN, some boofhead yelled out, "Play something good"!  Some people shouldn't be allowed out!!  We discuss Roxy's record covers - beautiful, near-naked women - which were very appealing to teenage boys' imaginations.  The Phatman talks about the reaction when Mick first brought home "Stranded".  We also talk about Eno's contribution to their sound, and how the band changed once he left. References:  Roxy Music, Stranded, TV Themes, Mi-Sex, Ultravox, Brian Eno, Record covers, Rick Wakeman_____________________________________________________________If you enjoyed the podcast, you'll probably want to hear stuff from Roxy Music and everything else we've mentioned.  We've created a list of recommended listening for you:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/24pAQqNzft16JxLHihJVl7?si=DNZSPnnkSiSzyQS7g5d3hQTV Themes:  https://open.spotify.com/album/0rZPGTfdvJjmAL27HoPOOU?si=B3hC89kbQ-W1qVI5bu8eYw We’d love to know what you think of the podcast, what you’d like to hear us talk about, ask questions, or even let us know if we got something wrong!!Contact us:https://www.facebook.com/Mick-and-the-Phatman-Talking-Music-104246385065739https://www.instagram.com/mick_and_the_phatman/[email protected] us a message, so we know what you're thinking!
