Not seen him solo but did see Roxy a couple of times -they were brilliant.Yup, Ferry's Smoke Gets In Your Eyes is very high kitsch even for him.
He was brilliant live though.

Had a bloke who was a huge fan and he'd seen them. I was a bit too late so only caught Bryan!Not seen him solo but did see Roxy a couple of times -they were brilliant.
Yes, the Faces were a brilliant band and 'Stay with me' is still one of my favourites from the era. I hate it when artists like Rod Stewart and even (sobs loudly) Bryan Ferry bring an album out of 'Classic songs' or duets - to me it seems they have run out of ideas.

Yes, I liked These foolish things and Another time another place albums which were mainly covers but I was thinking more of when artists release an album of 'classics' or an album of classic Christmas songsHave to admit I mostly liked Bryan Ferry's covers.
Yes, I was a bit too young then but saw them in 79 when Gary Tibbs was with them and they released Manifesto and again in 1980 after Flesh and Blood. Would have liked to see them in full Glamrock mode with Eno playing.I would have loved to see them live in the mid 70's, maybe just after Siren.

Brian Eno was/is just so ... Eno. Seven Deadly Finns 1974, when he had hair and a wandering Minstrel look. I still think yodeling is criminally underrated in pop music.Would have liked to see them in full Glamrock mode with Eno playing.
For a sec' there I thought you meant the album covers with the scantily-clad ladies!Have to admit I mostly liked Bryan Ferry's covers.
Eno - out there. I love the first two Roxy LP's, especially the second one. I've also got Eno's 'another green world'.
I repeat, the 70's were great - I don't follow 'dark' Where we are right now is much darker.
Avalon onwards is a too smooth for me -I much prefer the edgier early stuff and like the 1st and second albums best.Avalon for me.
Pop music for adults with lush arrangements, amazing basslines and plenty of Ferry's world-weary vampire persona that I like.
As to covers, I like his version of 'I Put A Spell On You' from Taxi.
My grandfather was an admirer of Bryan Ferry, and he mostly had no time for anything post-Sinatra.
Yes yes!! Love it and i am not sure why. It started me on that route into slightly odd music. I was 12.Brian Eno was/is just so ... Eno. Seven Deadly Finns 1974, when he had hair and a wandering Minstrel look. I still think yodeling is criminally underrated in pop music.

Roxy Music is the archetypal 70’s TOTP band for me where my dad would stare at the screen for a time, snort, and then demand to know if it was a man or a woman. Happy days.Yes, I was a bit too young then but saw them in 79 when Gary Tibbs was with them and they released Manifesto and again in 1980 after Flesh and Blood.

Mine too, although he'd show a lot more interest in Pan's PeopleRoxy Music is the archetypal 70’s TOTP band for me where my dad would stare at the screen for a time, snort, and then demand to know if it was a man or a woman. Happy days.
Oh yes i had forgotten about them!Mine too, although he'd show a lot more interest in Pan's People
Too right.I repeat, the 70's were great - I don't follow 'dark' Where we are right now is much darker.
Clearly a fan of the art of Literal Choreography then.Mine too, although he'd show a lot more interest in Pan's People
MY generation could leave school with no qualifications and get a steady job. Don't know so much about a house, lots of my generation are divorced women who are managing on a single income and don't have, and can't get, a mortgage. Going to get scary when rent has to come out of a pension.My father's generation could leave high school and get a steady job and a house. Today that is pretty much just a dream.
Despite what Silly Polly says, consider this; just as African Americans had such a jolly, care-free time in the late 19th and early 20th century USA that they invented the Blues, the mid 70s in the UK produced the snarling, nihilist malcontents of Punk. The early 80s were probably more renowned for the vapid wishy-washy musical insignificance of the New Romantics.Interesting opinion piece by Polly Toynbee in the Guardian the other day. The 1970s weren’t quite as bad as you were told by the Thatcherite spin of the 1980s (and ever since). Certainly fits more with my recollections:

Yes! I'm still into it. Very nice. Thank you.The early 80s were probably more renowned for the vapid wishy-washy musical insignificance of the New Romantics.
No doubt the staff are like Saville are humping soon kids or something ....nope didn't like that.When did the old BBC test card first come into being?
I don't know whether this is real or fake, contemporary or modern, but it sums up the spirit of 1970s dark television for me.
There were a few good things generated in the 70's. Hammer Horror, colour TV, The Incredible Hulk (Lou Ferrigno!), me....
20 years later, that word stringathon still amuses me. I was randomly thinking about it this morning in fact.Hahahaha, TV Cream- what a wonderful site. Makes me laugh so hard it hurts- they describe 'Thunderbirds' as a 'stringathon'. Funniest and aptest word ever made up.
