Roxy Music was one of the few bright lights of a musically dead era - the 80's big hair

What goes on in your mind?
I think that I am falling down
What goes on in your mind?
I think that I am upside down
Baby, be good, do what you should
You know it will work alright
Baby, be good, do what you should
You know it will be alright
I'm going up, and I'm going down
I'm going fly from side to side
There are problems in this town
There is a nightmare all night
Baby, be good, do what you should
You know it will be alright
Baby, be good, do what you should
You know it will work alright
Here are we go again, make me fool again
Here are we go again, after the hurricane
One minute up, one minute down
How many up and how many down
What goes on in your mind?
I think that I am upside down
Baby, be good, do what you should
You know it will be alright
Baby, be good, do what you should
You know it will work alright
Here are we go again, what happen to you, my friend
Here are we go again, what happen to all my friend

bands sucked utterly and completely for people who actually like music - not just a soundtrack for a party. I was deeply disappointed in music in the 80's, really thought it was dead. Then the 90's happened, thank GOD! But, yeah, I totes dug Roxy Music.

many amazing bands to come out of the 80s, Roxy Music being just one.

was hard work trying to find something good......

(1,151 posts)11. I did have to seek it out a bit, especially back then when you couldn't just google anything.
But England especially was putting out so much great music in the 80s. And you know, some of it sounds a bit dated because the keyboard technology was pretty new, but the songs themselves are solid and had the kind of groove and lyrical interest that Roxy Music had.
