[ranicat100]

@emmykaninchen - im pleased to hear of such a young person liking oldies music............my kids as were , love reggae as brought up on it :-)

[emmykaninchen]

@ranicat100 It's Sad kids in Nowadays don't listen to real music anymore..

Just this autotuned shit...

I still listen to Ska, Oi, Reggae , Punk and that sot of music. :)

[sk8freak3000]

@emmykaninchen your comment makes no sense at all reggae is more loved than ever by most young people...at least where i live and shit music has always been around 70's abba 80's gay techno 90's boybands

[emmykaninchen]

@sk8freak3000 I know NOBODY who listens to Prince Buster or something like that.

All People around me just listens to Rihanna or to Bruno Mars..

When I ask People for Reggae bands, they don't have any ideas..

Maybe it's different where you live, but I'm from Germany and there are Kids so.. stupid.

[parvezjakson]

@emmykaninchen ..i agree ..ppl only listen to mainstream (shitty) music ..im from singapore ..i listen to Reggae ,ska ,rocksteady ,80s dancehall ,old school Rnb :)

[emmykaninchen]

[keithdra]

It don't get any better than the prince.

[emmykaninchen]

Wait., he made a song named 'Madness' ...and the Band Madness made a song named 'The Prince' ..

Man, it's Madness!

[hathechewed]

its been 42yrs since I first heard this, its still in my top ten, 1969ish the only question Skinheads asked was are you a Blue Beat Skin or a Trojan Skin.

[leeham987]

@hathechewed i like both :/ got records from both labels, such a hard choice if i had to choose just 1.

[lexpee]

The godfather of ska, First there was prince buster Then came the SKA and rock-steady.

it will never be better.

[TopT432]

Long life perfect musician

[Jokaire]

This song makes me forget about all the little troubles that keep drizzling down on me! It just makes me want to fling foot whereever I stand :)

[bigaln1960]

imagine Madness takin their name from a song called Madness, that's pure madness

[bagupbob]

never madness just brill

[SoundOut260]

one of the fueds between ja artist (Buster,Perry.Morgan)

Lee Perry - Mad Head (Rolando & Powie 7" 1963)

Referring to Prince Buster's big hit "Madness", Scratch dismisses Buster as a kook in this tune: "It's sad to know that you are mad / You say that madness is gladness / Well, I call it sadness... Sing your song / 'Cause you are wrong... Watch out, mad head, before you lose your bread".

[MsCurwin]

Awesome music. Technically it's not ska or reggae but closest to rocksteady, a feel that predates both genres. Probably came somewhere after calypso which is really the roots of this music. Check out Don Baretto from the virgin islands, I think that sound was an influence too.

[zlabreche10]

erup gnizama ni ym stnap :)

[pienda2011]

Can you help me with the lyrics of these two songs of the 60 Prince Buster, the first is:

They got to go. because although I understand but not write English.

The second is: THEY GOT MY WAY TO COMME.

Thank you for your answer to: julvivas@yahoo.com

[soulsista091]

this applies so much to today world...the world is upside down, financial crisis, etc....evrybody calling eachother mad, ....but to us its gladness,...and their gladness seems mad to us, ....propaganda ministers im gonna walkk all over u!!...evrythings gettin rougher and tougher....but were not gonna let em make us suffer-will u????

[soundofmuzik1]

back in the days... 60's if you love music like dis they call it madness...Prince Buster, Bob Andy, Bob Marley, Toots , Eccles, and so on. Today 2011 I lift my hat to you because this same music is as relevant as it is then.

[soundofmuzik1]

long live Prince Buster...

[kgmakogon]

His Majesty long life!

[garmatweb]

What is going on now in the world is total madness. Man killing one another, raping and murdering women and children. Let us live in peace and unity and stop the madness.

[chekeska]

rock steady is also called blue beat right? mmm and ska is...

[albusal]

@chekeska the nuts

[kingska64]

@chekeska ska was blue beat,but not rocksteady,rocksteady killed ska,then camed reggae

[Noodles37UK]

I'd no idea Madness' song was a cover. YT's an education : ) I like that drummer. Hi hats or cymbals?

[TheAremo]

I was a little bit too young to be a "real" skin the first time around and just a little too old to be apart of that resurgence of ska music. I could never understand how the Ska music has such an early revivial???

Both were great.

The old Ska reminds me of fights in Margate between the Skins and the Rockers in the fair ground. 

[TheZokiZ]

Love love .... Yea real skins not fck boneheads remember ! 

[xcheesyxbaconx]

I prefer Prince Buster's Madness but Madness's One Step Beyond.

[sirgaryhoi]

I prefer Madness cover of Madness but Prince Busters version of One Step Beyond.

[TheCoverHeaven]

Madness (the band) took their name from this song.

[malosote1]

@TheCoverHeaven really? jajajajaj dumbass

[EricSeanPayn]

@TheCoverHeaven and then they made a song called The Prince as a tribute to the man behind this song.

[northstand11]

[lillyshak]

An amazing song, and although Madness are my favourite band, this version, the original is a lot better.

[cantonadenmark]

What an absolutely wonderfull song..I just love ska...can't help it...Madness, Specials, Selector, Buster, Dekker, Coxsone Dodd, Duke Reid...Bring it on...I love it all

[bobbankdai]

Wankers commenting on here - there used to be a time when it was all about coming on you tube and enjoying the music. Sad fuckers - if you've got nothing else to do but spout your bollox - get lost - go and have a wank or something - waste of space - in the meantime - TUNE !!

[floppybollox3]

@bobbankdai Er...look who's talking!

[topbluffa1]

The band madness named themselves after this song.

[DRokKster]

@WesternSandgroper

Most of us wish twats you didn't, he is worth more than a 1000 sad pricks like you.

[WesternSandgroper]

@DRokKster Don't be bitter that your country is in decline. I'm a realist.

[DRokKster]

@WesternSandgroper Your the one making bitter remarks and i think you will find you've miss spelled racist.

[WesternSandgroper]

@DRokKster Mate, i've been to the likes of Brixton which has one of the highest crime rates in the U.K. No bitterness here mate! Run along you PC thug, let em all in.

[DRokKster]

@WesternSandgroper Oh you went to Brixton once, so that gives you a right to call Prince Buster a c**t?

Im not your mate you bitter little racehater, go grab yer daily mail and ram it up your arse.

[WesternSandgroper]

@DRokKster I'll call you a cunt if i want. Racehater? Ha, you stupid cunt. Go invent some more curry.

[stepenwolf7]

@WesternSandgroper Now go and wash your mouth out with soap and water

[knightfromoutzide]

[CitizenFishy]

Why would people dislike this? I mean come on, It's great!

[TheMegamaiden10]

[1etesan]

Just waiting for Justin "FcukHead" Beiber to sample this one". Then I finally have a reason to sooht his kneecaps. Damn fine Tune. Ska forever!

[0iTrojanSkinz0i]

@1etesan youve got a good point but why did you have to even remind me of that little fucking brats existance on a prince buster song? that pricks name shouldnt even be on this page. he should have his kneecaps shot before he got the chance to sample this. not after. ya dig? wutever haha BUSTER!!!

[eddiedraw]

[erick2345789]

[samtheman1956]

can somebody explain to me why skinheads loved reggae music

[DNDis4Suckas]

@samtheman1956 Because it was the perfect opposite to the older hippies and the emerging blues jam bands and prog rock scene. Early reggae was raw, to-the-point, simple, and very danceable. It was also a lower/working class music, so skinheads (not the racist type that have tainted the real skinheads), related more to the Jamaican ex-pats and their music more than the "hip" college/university and middle-to-upper class crowds that were into all the latest rock bands. That's part of it, anyway...

[kwacou]

@samtheman1956 It's easy. Jamaicans are just the f...ing coolest people in the world period.

[acarreraenluita]

@samtheman1956 skinhead loved skinhead!

the true skinhead against racism

[GawainRaoul]

@acarreraenluita This is England!
