500 Greatest Albums of the 1980s ... Ranked! # 148 Dexys Midnight Runners - Too Rye Aye

 


Too Rye Aye came out in 1982, the year I moved from Secondary School to College. And from there up and out into the wider world. I bought this when it came out. Along with Simple Minds, Associates, Japan,  Bunnymen  and Costello. Dexys and Too Rye Aye didn't seem like the coolest option perhaps. Those dungarees. That look. But the tunes and the attitude. No one swang and radiated more genuine warm blooded soul than Kevin and Dexys. Noboday wrote songs about the things that man wrote songs about and got them in the charts.
