Oh, just started listening to the eponymous debut, I like it.

But it does sound like they'd been listening to The Man Who Sold The World quite a lot (album, not song)

Plenty of more straightforward rock acts have played it before - Paul Simon, Ray Davies, ELO. But if they can book the Spice Girls or Cher for 2024 they absolutely will.

cher is a great shout for the future, and roxy should be booked just because they're touring and bookable.

big roxy music fan here. will be a dream to see them at the O2 this year - cannot wait, and hopefully at GF next year.

they're not to everyone's taste rightly so, and they even divide fans on Eno vs post Eno, debut album, 80s output etc, you name it there is something to disagree on. Their impact on music has been huge and will be a for a long time.

ps me and my wife went to Ferry's solo show at the royal albert hall before Covid and we loved it

Who'd get a better reception...Roxy Music...or Aha? 

[CaledonianGonzo]

The latter have one much bigger song than Roxy which would result in fucking pandemonium - but Roxy would have a stronger setlist overall.

Aha?

Seriously?

Insanity reigns

Potentially a controversial opinion, but legend slots are often crap I find. Not been to one where I've been blown away or anything.

 

Maybe I'm just miserable.

Roxy Music, by and large, though a-ha do have a trio of certified bangers in Take On Me, The Sun Always Shines on TV and The Living Daylights. (They also have a clutch of excellent second-tier cuts.)

Seen a-ha a few times, actually, with hit-and-miss results. Two full shows a few years apart were pretty ropey, but then caught their "Unplugged" show at the O2 in February 2018 (I think?) and that, bizarrely, remains one of the most terrifically affecting performances I've ever seen.

Would love to see a-ha in the Acoustic Tent. Can guarantee it would not necessarily go over crackerjack though.

Hunting High and Low is up there with the other non Take On Me songs IMHO.

Agreed - Stay On These Roads is also a bit of a tune. Clashes depending I'd definitely give them the benefit of the doubt.

Are people seriously suggesting AHA for Glastonbury, I mean really?

This is only one step away from the Wombles.
