Okay, this is the next band I hope to get into. Forgive me if there's already another thread on them. Frankly, I'm at a loss as to where to start with then. I was going to start with the "Live at the Apollo" DVD since it's on Netflix, which I use.
How good is this band? What do they sound like? Where do I start?
I need some suggestions here.

the GOOGLE?
www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclien ... Roxy+Music
not to mention many music sites will offer you a "sample" of the artists prior releases, but usually only the most popular bands will be available for "previewing"....

Esmer,
I know. I've looked at Amazon and everything, but it helps when a fan gives you advice.

Don't care for them. Brian Ferry's got a great voice, but RM's stuff is just too laid back for me.

I agree with Cail's assesment.

Seeing as I am mod here, I guess it's my responsibility to buy a 'best of' cd and tell you what I think. All I remember is "Love Is The Drug".

Okay, after listening to 18 tracks from "Best Of Roxy Music", I now also remember "More Than This", which I actually like. But, most everything else is uninteresting to me. From what I'm hearing here, Avalon was probably their best album.
Roxy Music Rocks!

I would highly recommend starting with "Avalon". Listen to it from front to back. I think you will end up listening to it many times. It is a classic.

Watched 9 and 1/2 Weeks again this weekend with songs like
Slave to Love and Cocker's
You Can Leave Your Hat On. Jack Nitzche put the soundtrack together: it's damm good, I'll have to buy it. I was in the convenience store this morning and "Hat" was playing on the radio-I had to control myself with images of a young Kim Bassinger disrobing dancing in my head...
(Avalon is great)

I forgot about this thread. I was unimpressed with the best of CD ,but a bassist friend kept arguing with me about how great Roxy was, and eventually I bought a DVD that spanned their career and I started to get into it. Then I started getting the CD's, and while I still don't like the 1st one (too much weird-assed Eno experimentation), the rest are good add the last 3 are freaking great!
Avalon is the best, too.
