      We all have Parents who love their Generation of music and pass it on to their Kids.
      I Myself grew up on all the classics thanks to my dad (Queen, Madness, Elton, Mike and the Mechanics, E.L.O, ect.) But I still listen to some modern music as it's not all as bad as you probably think.
      There's some good stuff in there, you gotta be open minded.

      Really? A book with Madness sheets for Piano?! Where did you get this?
      Mike Barson is one of the reasons why I started to learn to play the piano one year ago - with the age of 38. And besides my lessons I'm watching intensively the channel of MrNuttyLee7. Thanks to him and his tutorials I'm able to play "My girl" and "It must be love" on piano. That's so amazing.

      Schmidthorst69 well the book was made in 92 and it has all the songs from the album divine (which is all of their greatest hits). And by the way, I agree Mike Barson is a legend. If you are looking to buy the book off someone then it is called divine madness and it was published by EMI music publishing LTD in 1992

They were huge in England but never truly tried to break America or Europe for that matter.. RUclips only came on the seen not so long ago yet Madness can still generate all these millions of views which means that they're still one of the most popular bands worldwide. It's only now with platforms such as RUclips that the world can be opened up to bands like Madness.

    My father told me about Madness when I was 8 years old.
    The first CD I listened to every day was Divine-Madness.
    I love it.

    Saw them live last night, they were absolutely phenomenal. This song was amazing live, screamed the words so loud ive practically lost my voice. I really thank my teacher for introducing me to Madness, hes an absolutely amazing teacher. Im 12, I only started listening last year, but I'm so damn happy I did. My amazing teacher was doing reading comprehension with us and our task was the lyrics to Baggy Trousers, and that got me and my best friend into them quite quickly. we went home that day, we called each other and just listened to a bunch of their music together and we were both so happy! I ended up going to the concert with her :). Some of the people at my school call me a grandma for listening to them, or make fun of me because its "different" but I dont give a crap because Madness absolutely rule!! I'm really thankful I do have freinds who love madness and that I have people to talk about their amazing music with and that i can share songs with and stuff. This year, my mum got me the The Nutty Boys comic and the vinyl for The Return Of Los Palmas 7 and some other madness stuff for Christmas and I think ive read that comic about 30 times now! Oh, and the other day Chrissy Boy liked one of my twitter posts (it was this ridiculous story i wrote using like 38 madness song references) and honestly to say i was freaking out was an understatement. Im really happy i discovered Madness and two-tone when i did because that genre of music is awesome, and i was feeling really down because my dad was in hospital and me and my mum were doing bad financially, but they brought some well needed joy into my life, from their music videos to their amazing story telling through their songs! its also helped me follow my own little musical journey, and i was very inspired by Woody's drumming and i saved up for a electric drum kit and started playing drums myself! Its one of my favourite things to do now, and since i started playing drums (4 weeks ago) ive learned about 14 madness songs!! i hope to be as good a drummer as woody one day, and ill keep practicing and maybe be in a band myself!!
    For anyone else feeling out of place just for the music they listen to, remember, dont listen to what anyone has to say, because you are probably cooler than them.

      Because it was the early days of a still growing industry. People back then did it for passion, now they do it for fame and money, as a result the industry has become a shadow of its former self.
