Roxy Music burst onto the scene as one of the most stylish and innovative new bands in British rock. Combining art-school flamboyance, retro futurism and glam swagger, the group delivered their debut single “Virginia Plain.” Written by Bryan Ferry, the track was a whirlwind of sharp guitars, swirling synths, and clever, cinematic lyrics that instantly set Roxy Music apart from their contemporaries.

Roxy Music’s groundbreaking self-titled debut album, released on the same day as David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust, introduced the world to their sophisticated, art-rock glam sound and became an instant critical and commercial success.
