Roxy Music Discography

Roxy Music were an English rock band formed in 1970 by Bryan Ferry, who became the band's lead vocalist and chief songwriter, and bassist Graham Simpson.Alongside Ferry, the other longtime members were Phil Manzanera (guitar), Andy Mackay (saxophone and oboe) and Paul Thompson (drums and percussion), and other former members include Brian Eno (synthesizer and "treatments"), Eddie Jobson (synthesizer and violin), and John Gustafson (bass).Although the band took a break from group activities in 1976 and again in 1983, they reunited for a concert tour in 2001, and toured together intermittently between that time and their break-up in 2011.Ferry frequently enlisted members of Roxy Music as session musicians for his solo releases. Roxy Music became a successful act in Europe and Australia during the 1970s.This success began with their debut album, Roxy Music (1972).The band pioneered more musically sophisticated elements of glam rock while significantly influencing early English punk music, and provided a model for many new wave acts while innovating elements of electronic composition.The group also distinguished their visual and musical sophistication through a preoccupation with glamorous fashions.Ferry and co-founding member Eno have had influential solo careers.The latter became one of Britain's most significant record producers of the late 20th century.Rolling Stone ranked Roxy Music No. 98 on its "The Immortals – 100 The Greatest Artists of All Time" list, though it dropped the group from its updated list in 2011. The band's final studio album was Avalon (1982), which became platinum-certified in the United States.In 2005 they began recording a new studio album, which would have been their ninth, and would have been their first record since 1973 with Brian Eno, who wrote two songs for it and also played keyboards.However, Bryan Ferry eventually confirmed that material from these sessions would be released as a Ferry solo album, with Eno playing on "a couple of tracks", and that he doesn't think they'll ever record as Roxy Music again.The album ultimately became Ferry's 2010 album Olympia.Roxy Music played a series of 40th anniversary shows in 2011, but has since become inactive as a performing entity.In 2018, Roxy Music were nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and were subsequently announced as inductees for the 2019 class.
