I was in my mid twenties when the punk/New Wave explosion happened - coming from a progressive rock background I was very dismissive - especially Ian Dury, who, I thought had as much to do with singing, as Adolf Hitler had to do with cultural tolerance. With regard to Ian Dury however, I WAS WRONG! I realise with the hindsight of age and some degree of wisdom that you don't necessarily have to sing in the conventional sense to produce something good.
The blockheads are of course fabulous!!
