Thanks James, didn't realise there were several fans of Roxy Music on here. I saw them around the time their album 'FYP' was released. The first three albums 'Roxy Music', 'For Your Pleasure' & 'Stranded' are still their best works imo!

Honestly Leon, I'm not a Roxy fan.

I appreciate they've made some great music, but not really my cuppa and never got me excited.

Don't think 80s synth pop is a popular genre here. Don't think Sheffield is a popular city here. So I'll go with Sheffield's 80s synth pop giants...
