The only Madness song I know is "our house" so I don't have an objective viewpoint on that part of the thread.

As for my favorite UK band of the 80's, it was definitely New Order. To this day, whenever I hear a New Order song, I want to drive to the nearest dance club.

Thank ya Roem! Nice of you to go to the trouble. :)

The Police are undoubtably a great group, but not up to the caliber of Duran Duran!

New Order's new single kicks some serious arse - has anyone else heard 'Here To Stay'?

As for the poll, couldn't vote as It's impossible to seperate Duran from Depeche.

Madness was 'Baggy Trousers'.

Best UK band is of course Duran Duran, (also my pick for best band of the 80s, period).

Madness's best song is without doubt "Our House". Actually it's the only one of theirs i've ever heard, LOL!

I really loved Skin Deep by The Stranglers, but that one song isn't enough to outvote Ultravox. They just had so many wonderful songs:

best Madness song would have to be Wings of A Dove

I really liked Madness. Who couldn't dance to Baggy Trousers and what was the name of the other one on that LP, Shadow of Fear?
I LOVED Ultravox, their last LP as a band wasn't too hot, but my Rage in Eden LP literally wore out from playing. Wish I could find it on a CD. I loved the Reap The Wild Wind video with the old airplane footage, and Midge Ure's pointed sideburns.

I voted Madness for best band (with Duran Duran coming in close second)

As for the best Madness song.....I really can't make my mind up on that one, but the best Madness vid has to be Cardiac Arrest!!!
