Madness

Songs that bring back so many good memories

Madness were by far my favourite band at the age of 13 up until about 16. I actually modelled myself on Graeme MacPherson, better known as Suggs, the lead singer of Madness. This was after our skinhead phase, both myself and Gary went out and got ourselves flattop haircuts. These haircuts are certainly not new, they go back to the 50s I believe, anyway having a head shaped like you could stand on a box on was pretty cool we thought. Mind you, it certainly took a lot of blow drying and gel to get it just right. We also had the sta prest trousers and brogues, not forgetting the flying jacket which we both had pictures painted on the back, you can check the picture out to the left to see what we look like in those days. Anyway, these are some of the songs that bring back so many fond memories of when myself and Gary were at school in the early and mid-80s.
