How about madness

Madness were a fucking amazing pop band, one of the best ever. Not a band I listen to often, but compared to any number of awful boy bands etc today, they were total geniuses.

Not crap but the original version was much better as a few others have said.

First Specials LP has been a regular on my TT since it came out, all killer no filler. Some of the lounge music on More Specials is a bit dodgy, but I forgive them 'cos it's the Specials.
Madness did a fantastic tune on the Dance Kraze LP called "Razor Blade Alley" which more than makes up for some of Suggsy's misdemeanors. And "Night Boat To Cairo" has always been a favourite too.

It's not really typical lounge music though is it? It's really quite different to anything I think I've ever heard...
