Junto com o Specials, o Madness foi uma das primeiras bandas ska a trabalhar com o estilo no final dos anos 70 e começo dos 80. Com o sucesso, o grupo passou a incorporar outros elementos ao som, coisas mais ligadas à soul music e pop. Chegou ao sucesso nos Estados Unidos apenas em 1983, mas já era um dos grupos mais conhecidos na Inglaterra, influenciando uma geração de músicos e sendo considerado um dos grupos mais amados do Reino Unido durante a década de 80.
