  • Here's to all of us who are homesick for a place that no longer exists.
  • All of you, the children of the 80s. You who, like me, experienced an extraordinary era. Remember this explosion of music, this carefreeness.. Never again will we experience this, but it remains alive in us... It's our heritage...

    The world doesn't make music like this anymore 😢

    As a man of 52, every time I listen to the sublime music from the 80's I feel nostalgic, happy and sad all at the same time.....then I wonder where the last 35-45 years have gone! WTAF?! 🥲
  • This video set all of the unreasonably high expectations of how 12 year old me thought I'd spend all of my Saturday nights as an adult. I thought there'd be falcons, dancing in castles and Bryan Ferry in a tux. There's only laundry, cat hair and my husband snoring on the sofa in a tshirt.

    The Avalon music video was directed by Ridley Scott and shown on MTV in 1982 less than a year after MTV was launched in August 1981.

    I remember standing on my mum's toes and dancing to this song when I was little. Hearing this brings a tear I must admit. Miss you mum.❤
  • one of the best things about 50 years old is the fact that i lived my teenage in the 80's that is priceless and Iam grateful !!!

    This is honestly a perfect song. Bryan Ferry sings about being captivated by a woman at a party and compares her to the mystical island of Avalon in that she's literally like a heavenly island in a sea of people at a party. What a beautiful sentiment.

    A voice as smooth as molten chocolate. This song never gets old.

    I saw Bryan Ferry in Toronto over 35 years ago. He opened up with Avalon, 2 notes and I knew what it was! Amazing!
  • This is the the most beautiful song ever recorded, it's from heaven, and it saved me many times as a young adult from wanting to end it. I'm now 55.
  • The production on this can’t be overlooked, it’s perfection
  • When he catches the falcon and they both look at the camera. Perfection.
  • Bryan Ferry was the smoothest cat of the 80's .Very underated , was the 80's AMAZING or what? Never be another Decade with such diversity.

    The whole album is a masterpiece from start to finish. Some of the music from this era is unsurpassed and today's offerings pale in comparison.
  • I'm 26 but the 80's songs are something out of this world!! Amazing 😍
