3 worst ever Roxy songs !

Perhaps this might seem disloyal , but , brilliant though they were , mebbe some songs weren't quite up to scratch .

1 The Main Thing..... plodding formulaic waste of listening time .

2 Rain , Rain , Rain... dreary .

3 Triptych.....scraping the bottom of the barrel here Bry .

Oh , don't all hate me at once ;))

But maybe it's just the negative associations I have with German cabaret music that turns me off of this one so much.
Three and Nine: The lyrics strike me as juvenile nonsense, the chord structure is schmaltzy, no to this easy listening lounge music for me.
Triptych: This one earns plenty of demerits for the cheap-sounding stereo separation trick alone--the kind of thing that bands might have thought was brilliant in the early days of stereo records. Middle Ages hymns are not what I spin a Roxy Music record for.
These three have always pulled Country Life to the bottom of the Roxy catalog for me. I've always been baffled by a review I remember that referred to the album as being like a "greatest hits collection of all-new songs" or something like that. I quite like the other 7 songs, although only three of those would make my top 25.; ▶ Reply to This

Actually "The Main Thing" is one of the few things I like from Avalon. What's wrong with it?; ▶ Reply to This

Can't say I like the videoclip though :P; ▶ Reply to This
