Roxy Music

Roxy Music formed in 1970 with Bryan Ferry on lead vocals, Phil Manzanera on guitar, Graham Simpson on bass, Andy Mackay on oboe and saxophone, Paul Thompson on drums, and Brian Eno on synthesizers.

Bryan Ferry would try-out for the band King Crimson, replacing Greg Lake who would join Emerson, Lake & Palmer after losing his job at a girl's school. But Robert Fripp didn't think Ferry's voice would work for his band. So Ferry and Graham Simpson would form a band called Roxy Music. Interested in avant-garde and glam rock, Roxy Music would have Brian Eno use synthesizer effects for their debut album and For Your Pleasure.

After Eno's departure from Roxy Music, Eddie Jobson would fill-in for Eno until Siren. After a four-year hiatus, Roxy Music would release three more albums. After their 1982 album Avalon, Bryan Ferry would pursue a solo career, even though Roxy Music reunited from 2001 to 2011, they haven't made a studio album after Avalon.
