No.  Roxy Music is the best one-two punch ever, (after the Velvets, of
course).

And yes, Keef, that purchase alone sets you off with the cool kids.

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*
