On this day, September 26, 1980, Madness released their second album Absolutely! The album reached #146 on the US Billboard charts but was a massive success in the UK, peaking at #2. Absolutely includes some of the band’s best-known hits, such as “Baggy Trousers” and “Embarrassment,” which solidified Madness as one of the leading acts of the British ska and new wave scenes.

Who remembers listening to this album and dancing to its upbeat ska rhythms?
