The first single is still the best for me.....The Prince.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 20/05/2022 16:35

They had loads of good songs! I'll go for It Must Be Love.

JaneJeffer · 20/05/2022 16:44

It's hard to choose. I love One Step Beyond but can it be called a song?

SamE1995 · 20/05/2022 16:50

One step beyond, the Prince and night boat to Cairo.

Seen them live last December, brilliant gig 👌

Grey day -

In the morning I awake
My arms, my legs, my body aches
The sky outside is wet and grey
And so begins another weary day

Echobelly · 20/05/2022 16:58

Saw them live in 2019 - was amazing!

I love The Prince, but also later stuff like 'Sweetest Girl' and 'Grey Day'

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 20/05/2022 17:02

I almost went for Grey Day. Cardiac Arrest is another with a very strong narrative. Both a bit depressing, though, when you pay attention to the words rather than the usual bouncy music!

CoodleMoodle · 20/05/2022 17:03

They were my first favourite band! I found them age 7 or 8 in 1997 or so, loved them ever since.

Grey Day is the best song, but One Step Beyond is the best album. Every song is perfect.

It must be love!
I love it.

RedRec · 20/05/2022 17:07

Wings of a Dove.

RedRec · 20/05/2022 17:07

Wings of a Dove.

Agreed. Great all rounder.

the80sweregreat · 20/05/2022 17:09

Suggs is fabulous isn't he?
( I bet someone comes on to say he isn't !)
They were great at Glastonbury ( I watched it on tv, never been )
I loved it when they did the silly dancing during a Gavin and Stacey episode!
They are just mad !!

takingmytimeonmyride · 20/05/2022 17:19

I know this is not AIBU but YABVVVU to expect me to pick one song as a favourite. So many great songs!

Georgeskitchen · 20/05/2022 17:20

Michael Caine 😍😍

Veryverycalmnow · 20/05/2022 17:22

It must be love.
It has a habit of coming on in the background at key/ emotional moments in my life.

FrippEnos · 20/05/2022 17:34

waiting for the ghost train

Daftasabroom · 20/05/2022 17:41

Not Madness but Suggs with Jules Holland - Oranges and Lemons.

Greatoutdoors · 20/05/2022 17:44

I love Madness! Best single for me is Embarrassment - there was a really interesting interview with the girl it was written about

clarepetal · 20/05/2022 19:28

The Bed and Breakfast Man

SlackieBeaver · 20/05/2022 19:38

I was just coming to say Bed and Breakfast Man ! ~ to be fair we are spoiled. I'm seeing them again next month and can't wait!

Babyroobs · 20/05/2022 23:29

Best single for me is It Must be love and return of Las palmas 7.
