It's not that they couldn't come up with another hit, it's that the US music industry and record buying public couldn't be bothered with exploring and hearing all the other great stuff Dexys (no apostrophe) created.

For any kat that grew up in the 80's can't front on anything like this. To be honest that is all we had if you had cable back then. I remeber the show that used to come on USA network, "Night Flight" that is where i first saw "Wildstyle" the movie. which was crazy back then( A inner city kid from Kansas city) as i knew what hip-hop was but only knew of it through the movies "Breakin 1& 2" Beat Street" which were commercial studio movies. but also if you saw "Night Flight" you got a chance to see videos from Kraftwrek, Blondie, The cult, the Ramones and World Famous Supreme Team.<BR/>So all in all good list.

I disagree with the Pharrell comment (obviously, since my post about that album pretty much speaks for itself), but I can't deny the influence these early songs had on him. Maybe I didn't like it as much as you and Mike Dikk simply because I still hear the "originals" on a regular basis...<BR/><BR/>Whatever. Anyway. Great stuff as always. I'm not as consistent as I want to be with the comments on everyone else's blog, but here is some much deserved praise, and thanks for the comments over my way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420176845224246684.post-27173321540880678732007-08-24T08:37:00.000-04:002007-08-24T08:37:00.000-04:00Yeah, there are some classics in there to this whi...Yeah, there are some classics in there to this white boy.<BR/><BR/>Brings back some big time memories....<BR/><BR/>"Come On Eileen" had such a funky groove to it, I always thought it'd make a good sampleTravishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16231982525234733675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420176845224246684.post-60935588963661311382007-08-22T17:44:00.000-04:002007-08-22T17:44:00.000-04:00Great fucking list.

If you look on my myspace (www.myspace.com/mikedikk) there's a pic in the picture section of a closeup of a painting. It was this huge painting that was hanging up in this apartment I lived in when I moved in, so we kept it up, but I cut out the picture of Laid Back from the back of the record and pasted them onto the painting so it looked like they were chillin on this little stretch of grass near the water. <BR/><BR/>Also, I own like 80% of these songs on vinyl, and before this post I felt like a dork, but now I feel vindicated.<BR/><BR/>I felt the same way about Pharrell's "In My Mind". The way I described it when I first heard it was that it sounded like records I find digging in dollar bins looking for lost novelty gems of the 80's. In 20 years, finding "In My Mind" in the dollar bin is going to garner the same reaction that pulling out a Soft Cell or Culture Club record gets now.Mike Dikkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08636545671217175522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420176845224246684.post-75353874103534987932007-08-22T12:47:00.000-04:002007-08-22T12:47:00.000-04:00The list was limited to what would be termed "non ...The list was limited to what would be termed "non urban" (read: White) acts of the 80's.
