[edit] The Madness
The Madness was a short-lived spin-off group of Madness formed by Suggs, Chas Smash, Lee Thompson and Chris Foreman in 1988. While The Guinness Book of British Hit Singles and many on-line discographies consider this band to be the same as "Madness", the band themselves consider "The Madness" to be a separate and distinct project.

[edit] The Nutty Boys
The Nutty Boys were Lee Thompson and Chris Foreman of Madness. While the members of the band Madness were nicknamed "The Nutty Boys" as a whole, this section lists only the work released by Thompson and Foreman under "The Nutty Boys" name in the early 1990s.
