The second, and best, Roxy album, and the last before Eno left the group. For me, this choice is the most rooted in personal nostalgia. While I do think it stands worthy in a top 10 list, its presence here is admittedly partly because Roxy Music was pivotal for me, and this album more than any other. As an early teen, I was blindsided by this lush, complex, and defiantly sexy sound. Half from Brian Ferry's James Bondish presence, half from the experimental rock backing him, I was changed. I would lay in my room at night with headphones on listening to Roxy Music for hours. In Every Dreamhome A Heartache is simultaneously beautiful, silly, sexy, absurd, epic. It just dares you to not smile, and swoon.

"Had your fill of Quadrilles?" "Bored with the Beguine, the Samba isn't your thing?"....... and so on. Bryan Ferry wrote some of the wittiest and most urbane lyrics in rock and roll. "For Your Pleasure" was the group's second effort and it tops their excellent debut. Starting with the cover, you know that you are in for something out of the ordinary. Pictured is sex change superstar Amanda Lear wearing a skin tight black leather dress and walking a black panther towards Mr. Ferry who is leaning on a deep purple Cadillac dressed as a chauffeur while Las Vegas glitters in the background. Get the picture? Beauty Queens, inflatable dolls, plain wrapper babies, and heartaches in every dream home. It's an upscaled Ray Davies style attack on English complacency and alienation. Brian Eno was still around on this one and contributes some wonderful electronic noise. The remastering brings out all the subtle glory of a band that sounded like no one else ever could. A classic recording.

Roxy Music's second album, and last with Eno, is quite possibly their greatest achievement. The entire album is wrought with tension and angst. Sonically its fantastic, with Eno treating the various instruments electronically, which leads to a very alienated feeling by the listener. This CD has no filler, 8 tracks 8 classics, but 8 very very different songs. Blue Lagoons is the closest thing to upbeat this album has to offer, and even that has its weird moments. However, songs like Do The Strand, Editions of You, In Every Dreamhome a Heartache and Bogus Man each show a VERY different side to Roxy Music, each very dark and deliberate in their delivery. The piece de resistance though is the closer/title track, which devolves from a sad song to a cacophony of delay feedback and warped piano tones.
Along with Country Music, this album defines what Roxy Music was about, what they could do, and why they continue to inspire musicians today.

Overrated?
Roxy Music's second album "For Your Pleasure" has by many been appointed to the group's best and most important. And, yes, there are several fine songs to be found on the album. Read more
