More Than This

"More Than This" is a 1982 single by British  art rock band  Roxy Music. It was released as the first single from their album  Avalon. The song peaked at #6 in the UK. Although it only charted at #103 in the United States, it remains one of their best known singles there. American  alternative rock band  10,000 Maniacs released a successful cover in 1997, a single that hit #25 and outperformed Roxy Music's lone U.S. Top 40 single " Love Is the Drug" (#30, 1976).
