Seriously Madness and The Specials etc... seemed to appeal to young kids, i as 11 and i loved them, Probably cuz they were fun!!! Fun!!! people do you remember that int he top 40???? fun????? 80'S music in general was fun.
@TherMoJo Agreed. A lot of their melodies are very complex with several key changes and played very quickly. Like them or not, they were talented musicians who wrote crisp music.
I was 12 in 80. This song was an anthem at the school. Black uniform, hidden white Fred Perry shirt under blazer, white socks and porkpie hat.
I think most people under the age of 55 either is or has been a Madness fan at some point in their lives. I am 42 and still am.
