Van Morrisson (vs. Them). Did Ye Get Healed? End of.

Although he's certainly produced some real crap as a solo artist, I think, on the whole, I actually prefer Julian Cope's stuff to that of The Teardrop Explodes.

Brian Eno over Roxy Music? Hmmm...maybe. Same with John Foxx over Ultravox.

Julian Cope - hell, yes.
Brian Eno - definitely. Roxy Music ran out of steam fairly early on.
John Foxx - just about

Syd Barret v's his era Pink Floyd

Syd Barret v's his era Pink Floyd

ahhhhhh, yeah.....wait, no............I dunno

for me the Floyd stuff of that era just about shades his solo stuff

[QUOTE And whoever mentioned Damien Rice is spot on. His solo stuff may be terrible but it's not as terrible as Juniper, surely?![/QUOTE]


That's what I meant....

Syd Barret v's his era Pink Floyd

i'd say they're both equally good though for different reasons

david glimour's solo material is pretty shite

 

[Mitchum]

Brian Eno - definitely. Roxy Music ran out of steam fairly early on.

You could say they ran out of steam when Brian Eno left even. Not me though, I go through phases with RM on which era I prefer. Someone once asked me what's the best place to start with Roxy Music & I think you can judge the records by their covers-the more scantily clad the models were the weaker the albums became.

the third LP was ok, after that - not that good.

Anyone think Bryan Ferry solo > Roxy Music ?

 

[nlgbbbblth]

No, he did record a solo song (Grey Lady of the Sea) that was featured on a documentary about his sailing capers, that was only ever released in Japan:

Not exactly Rio, is it?

John Taylor had a solo single (on the 9 1/2 Weeks soundtrack) and Andy Taylor had a solo album (dreadful).

The Arcadia album (Simon le Bon, Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor) is great. Completely OTT and pretentious, but fabulous.

There is a little compartment in my brain forever labelled "Duran Duran trivia".
