Formed in 1976, the English band Madness was one of the most popular bands in the UK in the 1980s, spending a record 214 weeks on the singles charts, matched only by UB40.  Our House marked the beginning of a change in style for Madness, and it was quite a successful shift. 

Madness did break up for awhile in 1988, but they were back together again by ‘92 and remain together as of 2008.
