Be Bop Deluxe: Modern Music (1976)


I am still not convinced that anyone has managed to properly categorize the music of Bill Nelson's Be Bop Deluxe. It's variously described as prog, rock, album rock, art rock, heavy metal, pop, glam rock, protopunk, and new wave. Oddly, they look a bit like bankers on the cover of Modern Music, their fourth release, which was quite a change from the earlier glam look.

Anyway, it's a great record. The sound is really awesome.
