I’ve sat here for the past hour trying to think of something to write and my brain is not cooperating. Now watch me fall back on the standard fare of presenting you with a favorite song of mine. Here’s one that many will not know I’m sure. Roxy Music was romantic before ABC, Spandau Ballet or Split Endz had decided to be. Byran Ferry, Brian Eno (oh, yes, this is where Eno got his break) and the rest of the band put out album after album of atmospheric romantic pop which was mostly ignored in America.

After Eno left the band in ‘73 due to concerns of Ferry’s dominance in the band, Ferry’s vision was given free reign which allowed the band to develop the romantic new wave of the early 80’s. Roxy Music’s next-to-last album was Flesh + Blood and included three UK hits. Here is my favorite, “Oh Yeah (On The Radio)”. It’s a nostalgic piece of a man looking back at a love affair when he hears their song. One of the best bittersweet songs of the New Romantic, this UK Top 5 is a musical prelude to the sound that was about to be ushered into the mainstream.

“Oh Yeah (On The Radio)”

Trivia: I recently found out Cameron also loves this song and he’s ten years my junior. I don’t know how the hell he discovered it.
