Madness Quiz Hub
Madness spent the early 80s cramming ska rhythms, brass-heavy chaos, and sharp working-class storytelling into 17 UK top-10 singles — and now it's your turn to prove you were paying attention. Across five quizzes covering everything from deep Rise & Fall album cuts to band member nicknames and the Prince Buster roots behind it all, there's plenty to separate the casual fan from the true Nutty Boy. The community is scoring 93% on average overall, but hidden weak spots are everywhere — only half of players know who walked out on keyboard duties in 1983, and the dark side of House of Fun is tripping up nearly 4 in 5.
