Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones named his first band The Strand after the Roxy Music song Do The Strand. Jones has also described Roxy Music's style as a strong influence on the later punk craze he would go on to become a part of and cited their debut album as one of his all-time favourites.
The electronic band Ladytron took their name from the title of a song from Roxy Music's debut album.
