DAVE AND ANSELL COLLINS - DOUBLE BARREL - 1971
Inspiral Carpets - This Is How It Feels (#TOTP 1990)
This track bore the distinction of becoming the band's first single to enter the UK Top 40, climbing to #14. From their debut album, Life, it was certified Silver in sales & peaked at #22 on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart.
Madness - Shut Up (1981)
The "nutty boys" always made classic videos (as well as recordings of course). 'Shut Up' was lifted as a single from their UK Top 5 third album, 7. The song reached #7 in the UK, spending ten weeks in the top 100. Check out Suggs as the car dealer! 😂🕺

When "Bankrobber" hit the charts in 1980, The Clash refused to appear on Top of the Pops to lip-sync.
The show’s solution? Having resident dance group Legs & Co. perform a full choreographed dance routine to the dub-reggae punk anthem instead. 🎸💃

Son: Dad, is that soul, pop, or rock?
Dad: Son, that's the beauty of it. Back then, nobody cared what you called it. When a voice sounded like THAT, you just turned it up.
