I'm thinking the Tom Lehrer song, "Who's Next." The B-Side to the 45 RPM of "Pollution."
"I don't care about pollution
I'm an air-conditioned gypsy":

Revisiting this record a few weeks ago, I've realized this is the ROXY MUSIC album I'll listen to the most. I always come back to it. They don't have a bad album, but Country Life is their best. :smiley_shades:

Review:

I never was hip to Roxy Music nor have I ever gained a grasp of the group's appeal, Allhallowsday, but I do read your reviews and sample songs you suggest...
If I've correctly read, it seems as if Roxy Music struggled to find a US audience, so I'm guessing that I'm not alone in my still ignorance of the band.

I believe Allhallowsday will listen to almost anything once.
I am infinitely more critical.
After graduation from High School, I came out of my musical closet and embraced Country Music. (1975)
I learned about 50s Music in the late 1980s.
I love anything that spins at 78 RPM.
Modern music, 2000+, is when I get picky.
So I do congratulate Allhallowsday for having a wide variety of taste in music.
All I can say is, "the older the violin, the sweeter the music."
I also believe music is medicine.

True.

Doubt it. I do like all schools of music, some more than others. I listen to much I don't like, but find amusing. I am a dilettante, yet with real taste.

I bought my first Country LP around 1979... Red Headed Stranger ...
I got heavily into 50s artists in the 80s too... RICKY NELSON ELVIS FATS DOMINO LITTLE RICHARD EVERLY BROS BO DIDDLEY

In this century I have only been impressed by AMY WINEHOUSE ...

A couple of different but excellent versions of songs from my favorite movie Victor/Victoria.
