20 Big Ones - Dexys

[winkerwatson]

I have loved Dexy’s for years.

A weird band. At their core, 3 albums(originally) all with distinct sounds, images and line ups. 2 UK number ones and a US hit - yeah that one.

Despite all the flux the core essence - passionate about passion and believing in the power of belief remains.

It’s a small discography so this is nearly half their output

Mark 1:

Mark 2:

Mark 3:

90’s solo:

Reformed:

Actual songs.

Let’s get this one put of the way:

The overshadowed by the above original no1

1st single from the third album intending to follow up Come On Eileen. 12 minutes long, with multiple dialogue sections, about the impossibility of articulating love

Springsteen blocked this from release

Thank you Warren Zevon

me old man has been a real fiend for brass sections for as long as i can recall, used to play searching non stop when i was small

[daphaknee]

yeah this is pretty cool. i dont like come on eileen very much, but thats more the fault of those 80’s greatest hits cds that ALL ALL ALL had 3 seconds of come on eileen in them

oh wait! they were on young ones, i fucking loved that song too

also i love concrete and clay!! i cant believe i didnt make the connection

Was just thinking how much I liked this and then never bought the album.
