Easily my least favorite Roxy Music song: the instrumentation sounds incredibly uninspired, Ferry's delivery seems forced and the chorus is just annoying. Nothing of worthy going on here.Cry, Cry, Cry (4/10)

Hula Kula (5/10)

Roxy Music singles are kind off notorious for featuring pointless instrumental B-sides. 'Hula Kula' is a short instrumental featured as the B-side to 'Street Life', and it's the definition of generic.Hula Kula (5/10)

Could It Happen To Me? (5/10)

The bands fifth album can be frustrating, because most of the track are truly great (mostly songs on the A-side), while the rest are truly really generic. The latter is true for 'Could It Happen To Me?', having an okay melody but not much more. It never goes anywhere. And MacKay, who is a creative genius, play probably his most boring sax part, at least thus far in their discograpy. While tracks like 'Sentimental Fool' prove that they still could make wonderful music despite their new stylistic change, moments like these show how watered down their output could get.Could It Happen To Me?

Sultanesque (5/10)

The B-side to the excellent 'Love Is The Drug' offers some interesting sounding instrumentation, but it doesn't do much more than that. It certainly doesn't justify it's five minute runtime.Sultanesque (5/10)

Spin Me Round (6/10)

'Spin Me Round' is a slow track with sparse instrumentation and a careful vocal delivery from Ferry. The track looks ahead at what's to come from Roxy Music. But it doesn't live up to the later pop perfections that the group would produce, resulting in an okay track that doesn't really do anything for me. Love the ending though.Spin Me Round (6/10)

Trash 2 (6/10)

A slower version than the one featured on 'Manifesto'. I think that the song fits the faster tempo a lot better. I think this version looses a lot of the oomph of the original version, making an exciting song rather boring.Trash 2 (6/10)

Eight Miles High (6/10)

The group's cover of this classic The Byrds song sticks out like a sore thumb. They've changed the song stylistically so it fits with the rest of the sounds on the album, but the song itself doesn't fit this treatment at all, making for a rather awkward listen. The only redeeming quality is the instrumentation towards the end, featuring some effective keyboard playing.Eight Miles High (6/10)

True To Life (6/10)

Except from the instrumental 'Tara', this is the last song on the last Roxy Music album. And it's a shame that it's one of the weaker songs of a great 80s album, with nothing of interest happening. Listening fatigue starts to kick in at this point, which is my biggest complaint about 'Avalon'; the first six songs are so incredibly strong, while the remaining four are substantially weaker.True To Life (6/10)

Take A Chance With Me (6/10)

One of the lesser songs off of 'Avalon', featuring fun country influences but a rather boring chorus. I'm not normally a fan of this kind off 80s music, but 'Avalon' is one of my few exceptions. But this track leans too much into what I don't like, and I can't quite explain what it is. All I can say is that it's rather boring song, unfortunatly for this otherwise great album.Take A Chance With Me (6/10)

Always Unknowing (6/10)

A decent B-side to the great title track off of their last album. A good melody and performance from Ferry, but it's not close to being as good as the greatest tracks off of that album. The only really good part is Manzanera's guitar during the last few minutes of the track.Always Unknowing (6/10)

Triptych (6/10)

A lot of the songs on 'Country Life' seem like a departure from their previous work, signaling their stylistic change that takes full form on 'Siren'. I like some of those tracks ('All I Want Is You, 'Bitter Sweet'), but some don't cut it, and 'Triptych' is one of those songs. Even though it features some interesting baroque keyboard playing and an great chorus/bridge (I don't know what to call it), it feels like something is missing here and i can't quite put my finger on it.Triptych (6/10)

A Really Good Time (6/10)

The only other weak song off 'Country Life', with 'Triptych' close behind. I enjoy this one slightly more, because it's actually a complete song from beginning to end. But it doesn't offer much than that, it just kind off meanders in mediocrity.A Really Good Time (6/10)

Your Application's Failed (7/10)

Their first actually good original B-side' instrumental' (with the only vocals being the words 'Your Application's Failed' said once). Featuring a great bass melody from King Crimson's John Whetton, fun stop-and-go drums and a fun jam towards the end. It's not an incredible track, but it's rare that their instrumental B-sides offer anything at all.Your Application's Failed (7/10)

Like A Hurricane (7/10)

A decent cover of a Neil Young classic, done in the style that was established on 'Avalon'. Ferry gives of a good performance, with good backup singing. MacKay and Manzanera deliver competent sax and guitar solos, respectively. There's nothing special about the cover; it just makes for an okay track.Like A Hurricane (7/10)

'Rain, Rain Rain' is a decent track from one of their most inconsistent albums. Ferry gives us a great vocal delivery with a really cool melody, but the track is missing more from the other members, resulting in a good but kind of forgettable song, espeically instrumentation wise.Rain, Rain, Rain (7/10)

A good song with a soulful Ferry during the verses. The songs biggest weakness is it's chorus, which is sung in a more upbeat mood. But the track's ending gives it a lot more weight, making for a fun listening nonetheless.Still Falls The Rain (7/10)

An energetic rocker with good guitar by Manzanera and vocal delivery from Ferry. I particulary like the organ and the guitar solo, with Manzanera's ending notes sounding very much like the Velvet Underground at the end. It's a decent song, but nothing that special about it.Whirlwind (7/10)

Tara (7/10)

The actual last track off of 'Avalon' is the two minute short instrumental 'Tara'. The track contains a good performance from MacKay, with some good piano parts accompanying him. Not as good as India, but still a fitting ending that continious the style that was established for the very beginning of the record.

Did Roxy Music have a number one hit?

History Highlight: Today in 1981, Roxy Music had their only U.K. No. 1 single with their version of John Lennon's "Jealous Guy." That means this single charted higher than the band's "Love Is The Drug", "More Than This", and "Avalon".
Even though they never stormed the charts in the U.S. in the same way they did in their native U.K., oddball art rock purveyors Roxy Music were one of the most influential and groundbreaking bands of the '70s, second only to David Bowie in terms of impacting the next decade's explosion of synthpop and new wave.
