Damn the rubbish search function.

We'll just have to have another one.

I may be the odd man out here, but "Grey Day" is fantastic. Even better than "Michael Caine", which might otherwise have been an obvious choice. (Or "My Girl", or "Embarrasment", or "(Tomorrow`s) Just Another Day", or "Our House". Heck, they sure have their share of classic singles!)

I like Grey Day a lot too.

There can never be enough madness polls. Im gonna go for grey day this time. but i love all these tracks. My fave singles band ever.

OK, i voted for "grey day" last time. this time, just to even it out: "it must be love". THAT IS HOW TO DO COVER VERSIONS, PEOPLE.

looking back at the other thread (september! really? wow) i remember i never did get hold of "the madness". must rectify that, blah blah.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

My Girl.
my first 7" single.
there is a strong chance i wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that record as it kicked off the whole "obsessive collector scum" gene in me.

Our House fills me with nostalgia each time I hear it. Love the strings and brass, and that perfect melancholy that fills the best MAdness songs.

I heard Suggs got himself in a lot of trouble back in the 80s for building a house in the middle of the street. It cocked up the traffic no end.

it is a great song.
unfortunately any love for it that i stillhad, is rapidly being killed off by its current state of overexposure thanks to the never ending demand for fish fingers adverts.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

― ILX System, Friday, 16 May 2008 23:01 (seventeen years ago)

(Ignoring the results as most people obv didn't want to vote once more in the same poll)

"Our House" was the first Madness song I heard, and thus it means a great deal to me. It was by far their biggest hit not only in the US but also here in Norway. And probably their greatest video ever as well.
