Madness

A British new wave group that formed in 1976 in London, England, and created their own style (the so-called nutty sound) by combining elements of ska music, pop-rock, and the Motown sound. Madness, leaders of the British ska revival movement, reached the UK Top 10 Singles Chart 17 times; the group's most successful single, "House of Fun," topped the chart in May 1982. Almost all of the band's albums enjoyed commercial success.
