Madness were cool as well the first few albums were brilliant but were more of a singles band the best of is just tune after tune (apart from the last few tracks after Wings of a dove..which are rubbish)… The Specials i was more of a fan of because of the lyrical messages they had and i think they had better songs (Certainly not as fun songs as Madness) also they knew when to quit.. it was a shame some members carried on as the special Aka as they were pretty shit house!
But in some ways they are hard to compare, they only real link is ska…after that the similarities sort of cease. Both are just great bands:)

You and me both mrs h.

Madness were the popular one’s who’s career had the longevity. But the intesity is what The Specials had - they toured Britain none stop for 18 months, now that’s some going.
