Number 111: Roxy Music - Take A Chance With Me
By 1982 Brian Ferry and Roxy Music were a spent force, right? Not so fast! Their final album, Avalon, contained several great tracks, including my favorite song by the band, "Take A Chance With Me". After this album, Roxy Music basically broke up, except for a few sporadic special appearances and one-off performances. This song is, perhaps, the final echo of the 70s glam-rock era. I have "Take A Chance With Me" in the #111 spot on my Top 200.
Especially like the cover of Avalon, which features one of the Knights Who Say "Ni!", and on their gauntlet a crested swallow... not sure ... is the swallow African or European ? AUUUUGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
