Favorite bands? Madness is near the top for me. Always were for their fantastic 80s output (leaking into the 90s), but recertified when they re-emerged about a decade ago with The Liberty of Norton Folgate, which I think is their best album, and subsequent releases and tours.

Why be an oldies act when you've still got so much life left in you?

One thing I love and loved about the Nutty Boys is their understanding of the visual appeal of seven (sometimes six) lads with personality posing (or walking!) together as one mashed-together entity.

Plus Chas Smash skanking like mad:

And the eternal dry cool of Suggs:

Plus? "Drip Fed Fred" (with aging Ian Dury) is my favorite video in the history of videos:
