Two from Stranded, the first Post-Eno record, 1974
Great lyrics on both tunes, and it should come as no surprise that David Byrne was a huge fan of the band.

Love the way they gradually turn this dirge into Dixieland worthy of a second line. Brilliant.

Loading... Really don't know how to preface this first one. A love song, maybe? Full of hot air? 1973
"That crazy music drives you insane--This way!" 1973

(6 votes, average: 7.67 out of 10)Loading... Welcome to ROXY MUSIC WEEK where we'll look at one of rock and roll's most underrated, yet influential acts. (Not only are they not in the RnR HoF--they've never even been nominated. lol) We'll start at the top--Top of the Pops 1972. Their debut single.

High-energy, fabulous English rock. The whole album is pretty enjoyable if you're in to that sort thing.
Thanks, all.

Anyway, the whole album is, I wouldn’t say “love songs” exactly, but “in love” songs, or “odes,” maybe. They make me think of the love of my life, with whom I now have counseling appointments on Thurdsays, because, well, the feeling isn’t exactly mutual.

My daughter's godfather took us to their concert this year - a lot of fun and so great to have a shared interest with the little ones. Reminiscing with a 5-year old is the best.

I just went through the album again on their website (they do still have one)...not sure when the last time I listened to them, but I must have played the whole thing an awful lot - I could jump into all the songs and sing along. Music is a funny thing.
We even have an Eve 6 tag already. Boy, you guys are thorough.

The cast members in this clip were in the show we saw. So that’s cool.
