Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms
Roxy Music - Avalon
Two of the best rock a albums of all time. The hall of fame is a joke.
Did you know Brian Ferry was pretty right leaning? From his Wikipedia entry...
"In 2008, Ferry alluded to support for the Conservative Party, referring to himself as "conservative by nature," but essentially apolitical. Without elaborating, he stated he was "proud" of his right-wing son Otis and declared the ban on fox hunting "futile." He also alluded to an opposition to "left-wing bitterness" and the spectre of "political correctness," "
DITTO on both!
Agreed. That is an amazing album.
King Crimson definitely. Pere Ubu? Gang of Four?
None of these will ever make it, cuz people have to buy your records.
Hell, Avalon's not even in the Roxy Music top three, which would be Siren, Stranded, and the self-titled debut in that order. Avalon's good, but a little too slick and cool for its own good.
