Hello,
It seems to me it would make sense to split the Blockheads and make that a seperate artical and then contain a section of that artictle within the main Dury artical.
Reasons for this:
What do people think ...? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chazzquire ( talk • contribs) 15:34, 22 April 2010 (UTC) -- 144.32.152.155 ( talk) 14:22, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
Under the section "Blockheads" there is a reference to their "vivid, earthy sexual humour". I think the term "sexual" is probably redundant as "earthy" implies "sexual", amongst other things. Does anybody agree or disagree?
Full disclosure: I originally inserted the phrase "vivid, earthy humour" a few years back so I am suggesting a return to my own text -- therefore I might be biased.

According to the article:
The mention of events of October 1977 should come before the events of 1979, and also, this makes it sound like "New Boots and Panties!!" was released after the singles mentioned, whereas was it not actually released before?? I would prefer someone with a better knowledge of the subject than myself to fix whatever needs fixing here. 31.52.148.214 ( talk) 20:45, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

No, this isn't Wikiquote, but Dury doesn't have any entries at Wikiquote. So I don't see a huge problem with having two small quotes here. Surely, they illustrate his view of the world rather succinctly? Martinevans123 ( talk) 20:08, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
Is there a MoS guideline about a venue not being pertinent to a caption, especially if you can't see anything of the venue in the image? That seems to conflict with this guideline. I would have thought the The Roundhouse in London would have been a typical venue for Dury in 1978 and that the reader might benefit for knowing he performed there. Why not trim the caption to "Performing at London's The Roundhouse in 1978" instead of removing the venue altogether? Martinevans123 ( talk)

I just watched a video on YouTube (titled 'Exploring Ian Dury, The Blockheads & HIT ME WITH YOUR RHYTHM STICK | New British Canon' by Trash Theory) in which the narrator says Dury admired and was influenced by Gene_Vincent. I don't have any evidence to back this up but if true, could be added to this article. Billtubbs ( talk) 23:06, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
