Well listen, Buster! You better start to move your feet to the rockinest, rocksteady beat of Madness. ONE STEP BEYOND!Next up are Madness, the most successful of the British 2-tone ska bands of the 70's and 80's.
Wiki Says: Madness are a British pop/ska band from Camden Town, London, which formed in 1976. In 2009, the band have continued to perform with their most recognised lineup of seven members, although their lineup has varied slightly over the years. They were one of the most prominent bands of the late-1970s 2 Tone ska revival.
Madness achieved most of their success in the early to mid 1980s. Both Madness and UB40 spent 214 weeks on the UK singles charts over the course of the decade, holding the record for most weeks spent by a group in the 1980s UK singles charts. However, Madness achieved this in a shorter time period (1980–1986)

Never seen them live
Not too much to say about Madness. If you were from England you'd know them. They're like their Bon Jovi, if Bon Jovi had a long hiatus. The cool thing about Madness is when they had their first reunion show in 1992 the dancing that came with the first song managed to cause an earthquake. The video of the that song is below, along with that same song's real video and the video of a song people may know.
