roxy music dont sound like tvu lol

>>115994472 (OP)

They're nothing like The Velvet Underground,you didn't understand The Velvet Underground. Stop pretending that you do or ever did.

>>115994472 (OP)

It'd make more sense if you said Bowie for patricians or something

The Velvet Underground but wholesome and no tranny fucking

But Jonathan Richman is an autist.

Which is worse: trannyfuckers or autists?

This

Yeah but The Velvet Underground as well as Neu! are pretty obvious inspirations. Probably not the only ones mind you but not hard to guess ones for sure. I love The Modern Lovers aswell so can't really fault you for namedropping them.

Not OP but you’d have to be deaf and ignorant not to recognize the similarities and links between early velvets and early roxy. Eno and Manzanera were playing on John Cale’s solo albums around the same time roxy was getting big.

Bowie is the next link in chain, in that most of his influence came from roxy, whose influence came from VU.

>>115994472 (OP)

Not liking both is dumb.

>>115994472 (OP)

it's a different world and vibe, they were more like a prog band that couldn't play as well but made up for it with cool ideas and vibe

YOU GOT ME GIRL ON THE RUNAROUND-ROUND

I haven't heard a ton of Roxy but I have heard Here Come The Warm Jets and although I do see the connections eith Eno collaborating with Nico etc I think it's much closer to Bowie than it is to VU territory.

>>115994472 (OP)

Yes.

>>115994472 (OP)

I have to get this off my chest but whenever some typical youtube guitar grifter rambles about the Firebird and how its le hidden gem etc and they proceed to list names of famous Firebird players but they NEVER mention Phil Manzanera and its FUCKED bro.

BABY JANE'S IN ACAPULCO WE ARE FLYING DOWN TO RIOOOOOOOOOO

Roxy was funnier than either the Velvets or Bowie

Maybe Lou Reed's solo stuff, but even then, not really. Roxy Music (in that era) is mostly just power pop with glam coated on. Sure, they undoubtedly took inspiration from VU, but what young artist didn't at that time?

>>115994472 (OP)

TVU were a lot more garage rock than Roxy Music. They had a grittiness to them while Roxy Music was kind of posh and had a sense of luxury and scholarship that TVU lacked. TVU lacked the electronics and sci fi ish elements of Eno era Roxy Music, and the slickness and dance/funk influences of the later era

That’s a top song, thanks for posting it. Still prefer the effortless and focused vibe of More Than This but this one is in the ballpark for sure

dem sax solos man

>>115994472 (OP)

Roxy are pretty good pop music, that's about it. Lot of weak tracks, no genuine spark of genius, not even sure why they're still in the conversation TB H.

I love Roxy Music and I also love The Velvet Underground

filtered moron
