Stranded, Roxy's third album, released in 1973, is arguably their best album, with subsequent albums showing a slow but gradual decline in quality.
The boys recall seeing Roxy Music at the Sydney Entertainment Centre - once in 2001 and then in 2011. The 2001 concert was a great career retrospective and the boys were rapt when the band started the show with "Remake/Remodel" from the first album. And THEN, some boofhead yelled out, "Play something good"! Some people shouldn't be allowed out!!
We discuss Roxy's record covers - beautiful, near-naked women - which were very appealing to teenage boys' imaginations. The Phatman talks about the reaction when Mick first brought home "Stranded".
We also talk about Eno's contribution to their sound, and how the band changed once he left.
