Phil Manzanera - electric guitar Rik Kenton - bass guitar In popular culture Virgin Atlantic operated a Boeing 747-400 aircraft named Virginia Plain from 1997 to 2013 with tail registration G-VTOP. In the Sex Pistols documentary The Filth and the Fury, Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones mentions Roxy Music as a major childhood influence while a part of the Top of the Pops performance of "Virginia Plain" is shown. Jones later appeared in the 2009 BBC film More Than This - The Story of Roxy Music, discussing the same thing. The song's performance on Top of the Pops has been parodied on Shooting Stars and Big Train in which it is sung by Mao Zedong from his deathbed. The song is featured prominently in Todd Haynes's 1998 film Velvet Goldmine. References 1972 debut singles Roxy Music songs Songs written by Bryan Ferry 1972 songs E.G.
