#1: "Editions of You"
No Roxy song has consistently got me excited to hear it. No Roxy song better incorporates and shows off every member of the (Eno period) band. No Roxy song rocks better than this. Hence why it tops my list.

#2: "Mother of Pearl"
High brow holy. Get the picture?.....yeah
#Top20RoxyMusic
#3: "Grey Lagoons"
The only demerit is the lack of true Eno solo. But at least we get a great sax solo and the ending sequence causes shivers thats how great it is
#Top20RoxyMusic
#4: "A Song for Europe"
brilliant. "JamAIIIIIIIIIS!"
#Top20RoxyMusic
#5: "Both Ends Burning"
Duran Duran and other new romantics born here
#Top20RoxyMusic
#6: "Ladytron"
Joe Meek-esque synths and distorted guitar. A heck of a mix

#7: Do the Strand
At the beginning of the song, Ferry comes off like some circus or carnival barker telling the audience of this great show coming. And over the course of the song he would be correct. Not sure he should be tired of the tango though.

#8: "Prairie Rose"
The cheesiness of the lyrics doesn't matter when "You're TANTALIZING ME!" Hits along with the solos that follow. An amazing album closer.

#9: "If There is Something"
Superb build up over it's 6 minutes plus.
#Top20RoxyMusic
#10: "Remake/Remodel"
Everyone gets a turn at a solo while the CPL593H gets Ferry's attention
#Top20RoxyMusic
#12: "Same Old Scene"
Roxy go fully "seedy" (always felt like this song was a night city song) new wave pop with an invigorating sax solo from Mackay.

As recently discovered in my #Top20RoxyMusic list, my favourite non-single of Bryan Ferry & Co.
Each band member getting a solo is epic.

#14: "Pyjamarama"
I love a good sax solo in a rock n roll song, and Mackay's sax solo is incredible. A great single I think I may like it more than "Virginia Plain" out of the early singles.

#15: "True to Life"

#️⃣1️⃣ (Ranked)
🎵 Psalm
My fave track from my fave Roxy album.
Hence: number 1 🎈
Apparently the 1st song Ferry ever wrote.
Saved it for the 3rd album.
His vocal performance still blows me away on this one.
And the way it's built up musically...

#16: "The Thrill of It All"
The opening bassline makes my head bop side to side, and solid instrumentation (including Ferry's voice ["oy veeeeeeey!!!"]) throughout rest. A great song my only issue is it isn't better than the other songs that will follow on this list.

And one last salvage from Twitter’s scorched hellscape.
Design work not in Mr Tansley’s class, but here’s my Top 10 at least

#1 - 'Virginia Plain' (released 1972)
Back to the very beginning!

"Now the party's over, I'm so tired..."
Thank you to everyone who's taken part in #Top20RoxyMusic.
The final playlist will be out later tonight and it's very tight at the top and the cut-off so every vote matters.
Hopefully see some of you for #Top10TheVelvetUnderground

As I've been going alphabetically, there's only one choice to close this list. What's her name? Virginia Plain!
