It's bad enough the new generation can't write their own songs and have to cover (and ruin, mostly) the classics, without > having to pretend they composed them as well. Too right mate... Anybody heard the latest cover of Steelers Wheel's "stuck in the middle," by faceless pop bint Louise, talk about stamping on, then ripping the b*/++&ks off a decent enough song. At least BF's covers are done from a genuine love of a song/writer/artist, as opposed to a cynical stab at the fame game. Then again, is it that important??? in the words of Boyzone, "it's only words," .........or was that the Brothers Gibb??? its getting hard to remember! I've often thought that covers done, at least from the late 80's onwards (usually "jiggied up" versions) by the talentless end of the rap & reggae field (such tat as Shaggy springs to mind!) really is money for someone else's old rope. For instance, Shaggy released his latest "hit" entitled "Angel," comprising mostly of a sample/remake of a tune first released when its target audience was just young enough to hear the original played many times on first release....the result?....well the hook of the song (usually the chorus) is already buried in the subconscious of the target audience! I mean, how many people bought that record to hear Shaggy wittering on in some unintelligible, droning way about the size of his nob and how much a ladies man he is....was that the highlight of the song??????? "No, it was that nice "show me an angel in the morning..." chorus that sounds so comforting and familiar! Just brings a smile to my face every time I hear it!!!" ARRRRRHHHHH A later example would be Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby." The only thing that worries me is....what will they be covering in 15 years from this period??? Anyway, rant over. Neil Jones n.p.

My question is - where does she get off? She's not one of my favorite people, mainly because I didn't like theaudience and I don't like the way she mimes! To me, theaudience were nothing more than over-hyped Blondie/Pretenders copyists (sharp, jangly guitar pop tunes) with a female singer who had an attitude. Except, it wasn't her attitude, it was the guitarist/songwriter bloke's attitude! Record company hype failed, then he quit, they tried to struggle on but unfortunately he was the "creative talent" and they just sort of evaporated. But most people can't get past the fact that Sophie is the daughter of former Blue Peter presenter Janet Ellis (I remember her forced departure due to pregnancy).

Hi, I just joined the list a few days ago and thought this would be a good time to greet everyone. My name's Sharon, I'm 25 and live in Chicago. I recently saw the tour here and loved it. The only complaint I had was that I wish it had been in a more intimate venue than a hockey arena. I started getting into Roxy Music about a year ago, when I bought Avalon and Siren at a used CD store. I feel in love and listened to those CD's non-stop, especially "To Turn You On" and "She Sells." I quickly bought the other CD's, and although I love them, they just don't hold the same magic as my first two. Very few people my age have heard of this band, and I like that, it's like being able to slip off into a lush secret when I put on my headphones. Anyways, being a relative newbie, I think mostly I'll be reading and not posting, gleaning Roxy knowledge off you all. :) I've always found CD collections absolutely fascinating, I think they truly reveal a lot about a person. A mix of tastes is a good sign of an interesting person. Crazy maybe, interesting definitely. Here's mine: Fastball, BRYAN FERRY, Fleetwood Mac, Ben Folds Five, Foo Fighters, Neil Finn, Fountains of Wayne, Peter Frampton Radiohead, Rancid, Otis Redding, Red Hot Chili Peppers, R.E.M.

It's not a bootleg, NMC are an established UK indie label who specialize in re-releases and archive based releases. They've done a lot of T.Rex over the years, along with Small Faces-related cd's, Yardbirds, Bowie (until he stopped them). They did have a full release of Roxy's BBC radio sessions scheduled a few years back but Virgin blocked it saying they would handle the release.

I *do* know that Sophie has changed some of the lyrics to Take Me Home. I haven't heard the original so I don't know how much has been changed. If she had made some significant changes then why shouldn't she take the credit for it ? Apparently Cher doesn't approve of the changes that Sophie has made to the song and feels that this new version is too sexually suggestive ! The people that did write it aren't too fussed apparently. I'm sure they'll benefit nicely from it financially ! You seem quite confident that she'll be No 1. You never know, lots of pre school children may decide to buy the latest offering from "Five" instead.... Becky x PS: Roxy !!

Did you know that Andy Mackay produced and played on Wooly Bully (7") in 1976? I've read that the result was an insult more than a treat and it seemed as if Mackay was aiming at getting some unbeloved competitors off the Island board. The song was grotesquely out of place as a single in 1976 and the flipside, taken from the material laid down at the first recording session, was far superior stuff. The Hot Rods always had something of a tradition of playing with various outsiders. on 8/15/01 1:43 PM, stevesiren2 at stevesiren2@netscapeonline.co.uk wrote: > Mr Eireann, IWhat good taste you've got, Hotrods as well ! > I've gone on this list many times about the Roxy/Punk link , just listen to > Grey Lagoons on "Penthouse" , raw & VERY exciting. > Regards the "Surrounds" thread, am I the only one who owns a Real Kids record? > A superb, blistering US group from the 70's. > Steve > > InterEireann@aol.com wrote: > >> All these lists of how Roxy titles are catalogued by people got me thinking >> about how certain taste appear with some Roxy fans. >> >> For example, I have often heard it siad that there is a connection between >> punf rock and early Roxy music ( some punk rockers have often cited Roxy as a >> fav. band.)
