Brian Eno has praised Roxy Music’s 1973 album *For Your Pleasure* as an enduringly satisfying record, calling it “absolutely brilliant” more than 50 years after its release. The article highlights the album’s importance both as a key work of glam-era experimental rock and as the final Roxy Music record to feature Eno before he left to pursue his influential solo career.
