Ladytron (more modern) are pretty good in this genre. Named after a Roxy Music album. Goldfrapp also (when they do Synth Pop). I've never heard any of Ladytron's stuff but they're named after a song from Roxy's first album which is superb. Both the song and the album.

Both the song and the album. I don't really know Roxy's stuff beyond the big hits that you always see on TV. Here's some Ladytron - a Liverpool synthpop band who have several albums: I always felt the first song would be great at Tynie!

Here's some Ladytron - a Liverpool synthpop band who have several albums: Thanks for posting fb. They sound brilliant. Very 80s synth which I love. Roxy's later stuff was smoother and the trendsetter for the 80s. The early stuff is much better and totally different. Try any of their first 5 albums especially For Your Pleasure, the second album. Glorious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did catch Robert Plant last night at the Queens Hall with his band Saving Grace. It was an excellent gig, and the band were all very strong musicians.

Should've been the Usher Hall. Can't beat great musicianship. Enjoy the music fb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glorious! Roxy Music went downhill and poppy after Eno left. I saw them at the Odeon in 1974 and the girly adulation for Ferry had started even then. 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A brilliant, inventive, groundbreaking song but it was a wee bit more commercial than earlier stuff I suppose 😉. Bryan Ferry is a cool dude though!

Also caught Bob at the Queens last night, superb stuff, he still has a great voice. The young Edinburgh laddie Jack Butler that was supporting him was unbelievably talented.

Had a ticket to see them there in 2020 but that got cancelled outright. Very decent setlist and good banter with the crowd. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/saving-grace/2022/the-queens-hall-edinburgh-scotland-5bbe1790.html The Low cover version was touching as their singer/drummer has tragically been taken by cancer. 3 hours ago, Cruyff said: The young Edinburgh laddie Jack Butler that was supporting him was unbelievably talented. That wasn't quite my thing but he seemed good at what he was doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SectionDJambo Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Music seems to me to be something that different people have different tastes on. Much like if you don’t like a certain food but someone else does. Why some try to ridicule somebody else’s taste in music is a mystery to me. I hit my teens in the 60s and still get nostalgic for 60s, 70s and 80s music, but I wouldn’t disregard anyone’s appreciation of the music of today. Musical eras go back centuries never mind decades. Some people ridicule classical music and yet some contemporary music has copied or used it. In short, music is a personal experience and just because you like a type of music doesn’t mean others who like something else are wrong.
