(TV) (OT) Roxy Music

[Keith Allison <keith@thewonder.co.uk>]

I was just playing the first Roxy Music album and I realised (slightly 
late) that it's 40 years old. 40! I remember buying it when it first 
came out after seeing this:

on the Old Grey Whistle Test.
I was (just) still at school.
It was the last time I was (I thought) "cool". In fact the 3 of us who 
had this album thought we were /really/ cool although the James Taylor, 
Rod Stewart and Cream fans who made up the rest of our year thought we 
were "fucking weird". Which was cool.

This and "For Your Pleasure" - has any other band ever released 2 such 
radical, fabulous, influential records in the space of a year? (Well, 
probably, but...)

Shit, now I feel /really/ old.

*sigh*
