I like Roxy Music as much as the next guy, or almost as much, but I love the crusaders' "street life" with my heart and soul

Didn't listen to the Roxy Music one before voting, to be honest.

how's life, Monday, 17 March 2014 00:02 (eleven years ago)

"street life" in a heartbeat.

charlie h, Monday, 17 March 2014 00:18 (eleven years ago)

yeah i had 'street life' at the top of my roxy music ballot so it's among my three or four faves and roxy music is who i say when someone asks me my favorite band (unless i think they don't know who roxy music is in which case i say the rolling stones). and yet i gotta vote crusaders.

balls, Monday, 17 March 2014 00:19 (eleven years ago)

if one of the options was the really bad recent kelly rowland song, the answer would have to be something else. i don't know either of these though.

I hate to do this to Roxy, but Crusaders

Iago Galdston, Tuesday, 18 March 2014 00:01 (eleven years ago)

Crusaders easy, futile as i know my vote will be

I've never heard the other "Street Life" before... I tried to listen to it, but had to stop befofe the end, I just couldn't handle it. The way the singer guy pronounces words is so obnoxious, like he's disgusted by the vowels! Who wants to listen to that?

"Street Life", on the other hand, is a 11 minute epic with an striking intro-to-proper-tune transition and some of the most sublime strings in disco. So the choice is easy.

the singer guy

Tuomas obviously knows that starting in 1985 the singer guy started having problems with consonants not vowels.

Huh? It is a guy, isn't it? Or if it is woman, her voice is really masculine...

Tuomas, Tuesday, 18 March 2014 21:44 (eleven years ago)

clearly obscure Glam Rock also-rans Roxy Music never made it further east than Tyneside

pings can only get wetter (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 18 March 2014 21:48 (eleven years ago)

Well I know the band name, obviously, but I think this was actually the first time I'd heard any song by them, I don't think they've had hits in Finland... For some reason I had thought they were some kind of a synth pop act, but I guess I've mixed them up with someone else?

Tuomas, Tuesday, 18 March 2014 21:51 (eleven years ago)

ffs you might not be familiar with their output but you must at least have heard of their singer Brian Eno

post-nodern music player (wins), Tuesday, 18 March 2014 22:07 (eleven years ago)

Several ppl want to listen to Roxy Music Tuomas

sonic thedgehod (albvivertine), Tuesday, 18 March 2014 22:09 (eleven years ago)

Oh yeah, Brian Eno, that's what I knew them of! Though TBH I've never really listened to his music either, I just that know that he "invented" ambient. That "Street Life" doesn't sound very ambient though, he must've come a long way.

what. the man adores vowels. just listen to how he extols the ooo sound in the word "do".

charlie h, Wednesday, 19 March 2014 00:45 (eleven years ago)

we're seeing a backlash: lex called Ferry a Tory cunt with a horrible voice in the Terje thread.

Bryan Fairy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 19 March 2014 00:50 (eleven years ago)

lol

charlie h, Wednesday, 19 March 2014 01:01 (eleven years ago)

how is this a question

maura, Wednesday, 19 March 2014 02:53 (eleven years ago)

Crusaders, no contest.

that's not my post, Wednesday, 19 March 2014 05:56 (eleven years ago)

cool it with the hyperbole guys, it is a contest just not a close one.

Treeship, Wednesday, 19 March 2014 06:05 (eleven years ago)

i'm interested to see how many votes roxy music ends up getting. not a lot of defenders stepping up itt even though it's a totally decent roxy music song.

Treeship, Wednesday, 19 March 2014 06:06 (eleven years ago)

actually i voted roxy music full disclosure.

Treeship, Wednesday, 19 March 2014 06:11 (eleven years ago)

I love both of these whole-heartedly and unconditionally. Impossible to call; abstain.

mike t-diva, Wednesday, 19 March 2014 11:22 (eleven years ago)

otm, but voted roxy to shore up against the landslide.

woof, Wednesday, 19 March 2014 11:29 (eleven years ago)

that's three guaranteed votes for Roxy then

charlie h, Wednesday, 19 March 2014 11:32 (eleven years ago)

I don't know any Roxy Music outside of Avalon. Anytime anyone tries to get me to listen to it, it slides right back out of my ear line it was never there. I listened to this whole song the other day ( after voting for the Crusaders, natch) but I can't remember a note of it.

how's life, Wednesday, 19 March 2014 11:34 (eleven years ago)

I can hum it for you.

Bryan Fairy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 19 March 2014 11:59 (eleven years ago)

Love both but voting for Roxy. A giant earworm: Manzanera's insistent guitar hook, Ferry's prattling as if he were alone on stage, the odd emphases, "Lovin' you is all I can DOOOOOO."

Bryan Fairy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 19 March 2014 12:00 (eleven years ago)

This poll is a 10-cent masquerade.

Eric H., Wednesday, 19 March 2014 12:16 (eleven years ago)

recall everyone that Street Life came in at no. 3 (or 4?) on the Roxy poll. it's a much-loved song in these parts, no doubt about it.

charlie h, Wednesday, 19 March 2014 12:27 (eleven years ago)

i don't think anybody who i haven't FP'd is questioning the quality of either of these songs

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I love Roxy, but I'm Voting Neil Diamond as write-in. You might get hurt, get hurt, get hurt....I think he really knows what he's talking about!

No, just uninterested in posting to say "WHAT THIS ISN'T EVEN A CONTEST CRUSADERS ETC"

HEY GOOD LOOKIN BOYS GATHER AROUND

Bryan Fairy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 21 March 2014 00:07 (eleven years ago)

I voted for Crusaders, but this is better.....hell yeah, Roxy!!

Iago Galdston, Friday, 21 March 2014 00:20 (eleven years ago)

charlie h, Friday, 21 March 2014 04:07 (eleven years ago)
