-- going there for a mix of lovely melancholy etc things (nos 5, 7, 10), for-dancing-funny-to silly things (2, 3), inconsequential but charming things (4, 6), and two-or-more-of-the-above things.

Would be tempted to include It Must Be Love but I'll stick to their own compositions, as they have enough great songs of their own:

-Michael Caine
-Grey Day
-Time For Tea
-Yesterday's Men
-The Wizard
-Embarrassment
-One Better Day
-Waltz Into Mischief
-Maybe In Another Life (B-side to Waiting For The Ghost Train, sounds a bit cheesy but somehow extremely cool and relaxed)
-Madness Is All In The Mind

To use Mr Perry's Depeche Mode trick: Oh yes, "Time for Tea" is my #11.

No one has mentioned One Step Beyond yet?!

Crazy kids.

"One Step Beyond" is a boring 60s ska rehash. None of the great cockney Kitchen Sink sophisticated pop that was so great about Madness.
