Avalon - Roxy Music
307/500
Peter Sinfield, producer of Roxy Music's angular and wild 1972 debut, said that on Avalon they "ran out of naivete." Their sound was now woozy and lush, horny yet mature. And also unabashedly, unironically romantic. A synth-soul landmark, Avalon was their biggest hit, their swan song and the pinnacle of rock elegance.
