Madness, "One Step Beyond…" from One Step Beyond… (T.L.A.M.)
Skammentary: The annoying introduction to "One Step Beyond…" hypes the "rocksteady beat of Madness." Rocksteady developed out of the original ska of the 1950s & early '60s, serving as something of an intermediate stage 'twixt ska & reggae. Rocksteady is typically more slowly paced than ska, so the manic music of Madness can hardly be categorized as rocksteady; consider the "rocksteady" boast an affectionate affectation.
Fun fact: Madness are the namesake of Prince Buster's song "Madness," which served as the finale to SKApril '14.
