Paul Thompson

Highly underrated, but superior talented rock drumming god of Roxy Music fame. Known universally to true fans as "The Great Paul Thompson", due to his incredible drumming skills and power. A great example of his work can be found on the extended instrumental section of the Roxy Music track "In Every Dream Home a Heartache" from the 1973 album "For Your Pleasure". Paul Thompson underpinned the Roxy Music sound from 1973 - 1980 when he left the group due to 'musical differences' (i.e. Bryan Ferry wanted to take the "Rock" out of Roxy Music and turn out easy listening lounge lizard fare). Ferry saw the error of his ways some time later and Paul has been on the recent tours with the largely original Roxy line-up.
