The Ska movement came crashing to the US shores via Madness. At first thought to be a novelty act, those
of us in the know quickly realised that this band was serious in its insanity. A fun pub band that rocked.
Always a great combination!

Madness (Is All in the Mind)
Essentially a compilation, this record has almost all the hits from Madness' career. 'Our House' still holds up
as a loving paean to life in England while feeling a bit scathing at the same time. Or maybe that's just me.
Plus, 'Night Boat to Cairo' and 'House of Fun' are ska-pop classics if ever there were any.
