"Hey YOU, Don't Poll that, Poll THIS....It's the Madness Singles Poll

Inspired after hearing One Step Beyond on Mark Radcliffe yesterday and One Better Day this morning.

List taken from everyhit.com, apologies if I've missed anything out.

Voted for "The Sun And The Rain", I don't know why.

Possibly because most of the rest have been played to death.

Still, one long list of great singles, and only "the Sweetest girl" a total misfire.

"Embarrassment", but the first 18 or so of these are all great.

"Bed and Breakfast Man" wasn't a single?

no, but it did get a video.

I think that's my favourite Madness song

wasn't sun and rain actually included on the picture disc version of Keep Moving.

Agree 100% though, tis one of my fave singles of theirs.

However, the best has to be a tough call between Grey Day and My Girl (first 7" i ever got, and still despite 1000s of listens does special things for me).

worst : Wings of A Dove and Driving in My Car, hated em then, hate em even more now. novelty records both.

First 7" I ever got (given) was Baggy Trousers! Still have it but it's pretty worn out cos we used to play it in this Fisher Price portable 7" player all the time.

you see, baggy trousers makes me cringe now due to it being overplayed, yet my girl still ticks the boxes.

was a big fan, but not of the 'nutty' side. always prefered it when they were hungover and depressed.

Tory turncoats they may now be, but they didn't half make some decent hit parade picks in their day. My pick is "Shut Up," one of the most out there hits of an out there year (1981). Carla Bley chord changes ahoy!

One Better Day. love the nutty stuff too, but this is such a great song.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

This is seriously very very very very hard. So many great ones to choose from!

In the end, I went for "(Tomorrow's) Just Another Day", but it might as well have been "Grey Day", "My Girl", "Embarrassment", "Cardiac Arrest", "Our House" or "Michael Caine". All of them fantastic pop songs!

I voted for "Wings of a Dove" because it deserves a vote and I guess nobody else will.

I know it's prolly not very cool to vote for 'our house' but damn I love that song

came here to vote 'bed & breakfast man', ill go for 'grey day' because of the drum intro

actually, grey day is a masterpiece

"our house" - something about the brass and strings and the sinister turn of the lyrics and the way it gives me goosebumps every time.

Tomorrow's (Just Another Day)

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

Cheating by giving hints in the poll title. :)

(In fact, the only thing I really like about "One Step Beyond" is before the music starts)
