376: Roxy Music form in 1970
Roxy Music helped to define the tone of ’70s art rock by blending Bryan Ferry’s wistful romantic writing with anarchic music and later on with subdued rock. Ferry and bassist Graham Simpson began searching for band mates around November 1970. In January 1971 Andy Mackay joined the fledgling band bringing Brian Eno along with him. Paul Thompson responded to an ad placed in Melody Maker magazine and joined the line-up in June 1971. Soon after that, guitarist Phil Manzanera, replaced former Nice guitarist David O’List and the lineup recorded their debut album. The album, produced by King Crimson lyricist Peter Sinfield, went Top 10 in England in 1972.
