Madness are an English pop/ska band from Camden Town, London that formed in 1976. As of 2007, the band has 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. However, as their career progressed, the band has moved away from ska and closer towards more conventional pop music.
Madness achieved most of their success in the 1980s. Madness released 13 top 10 singles in the UK during the 1980s, and spent exactly 214 weeks on the UK singles charts over the course of the decade. The band therefore hold the record for most weeks spent by a group in the 1980s UK singles charts.
The core of the band formed as The North London Invaders in 1976 (although their name was often shortened to The Invaders), and included Mike Barson (Monsieur Barso) on keyboards and vocals, Chris Foreman (Chrissy Boy) on guitar and Lee Thompson (Kix) on saxophone...
