Homosexuality is a bigger fad.

Ska is amazing

Goldfinger and Catch 22 are my fav ska bands

although the song "We dont play ska anymore" by NOFX is hilarious haha

My moms friend used to be in a ska band, and my friend plays trumpet and bass in a band that plays some ska

How can you not like ska, its a form of punk, and no one can not like punk

Ska is not a form of punk. Ska came into existance in the 1950s in Jamaica, 20 years before punk was ever realized. During the second popular wave of ska music in the 1970s (called Two-Tone, linked to the type of music played and the style incorporated with the music, black and white for racial equality), punk bands from the UK took on ska type upstrokes on the downbeat of their music. This can be seen with Madness, The Beat, The Specials and so forth.


Anyway...
Ska is amazing, and it gave birth to so much.
Without ska, there is no:
Rocksteady
Reggae
Dub
and Hip Hop would not be what it is today.

Think twice before you talk shit on any type of music.

What are you talking about. Third wave ska is more punkish, but there's still a lot of artists that sound more traditional. Two tone ska sounds even less like punk most of the time and first wave was around before punk existed.

[Scratch]

Haha no Mekas, i didnt

i like ska but my friend is into it more than i am

I might go to a Reel Big Fish concert, decidin if i should or not.

Dude most of that is true except Rocksteady was out years before Ska.and my family are from the west indies so don't try it lol.

My fav. Ska bands are:

Madness
The Specials
The Selecter
The Dead 60's (new brit band Ska is really coming back over here)
and loads more i can't remember.

I also like The Police but they are more reggae than anything else.

peace.

oh yeah and what alot of u fools will be refering to is american "Ska-Punk" which is nothing like real Ska

if u realy know anything about ska you will know that third wave ska is fused with punk.

[Dr. Coffee]

AQUABATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BullshitTantrum]

jesus, catch 22 and the suicide machines are not the greastest ska bands ever. ever. or remotly close.

the only ska i like is 1st and part of the 2nd generation. mostly dance hall and 2 tone for me but i gotta be in a mood for that shit.

like the skatalites, toots and the maytals, selector, hot knives, the specials, the riffs, johnny cliff, the coventry automatics and such.


and slaze if you new anything about music you'd know that 3rd generation ska is just really weak pop punk. its like a 3rd cousin, your not really related and you pretty much have nothing to do with them.

[seap!]

have any of you seen 'back to the beach'?

Not true. Westbound Train and Hepcat are both third wave, but have NO punk in them whatsoever.

[vegimite on toast]

^Yes, there is still a lot of third wave that still sounds traditional.

[VoodooChild420]

ska is fucking dope... ha i write Skank, theres so much good shit out there you dont gotta give shit about what kind of ska you listen to, I like some new stuff like suicide machines and the toasters and planet smashers, but theres some good older stuff like op ivy and the specials... salll good as long as its fun

ska's just funny. can never be taken that seriously. streetlight manifesto, big d and the kids table, ASOB, some good ones. ska shows were always fun too, but i dont know, it just always felt like a joke to me, which is ok if you're into it i guess.

[xytio]

aquabats are mormons lol

[99%Shit]

Ugh, this thread is an abomination! Most of the bands mentioned are only influenced by ska, and some don't go any further than upstrokes and some brass. Most bands from the 3rd wave aren't really ska, unless of course they play first wave or 2 tone styles, ie. The Toasters, Hepcat, The Slackers. Not trashing any of the 3rd wave 'ska' bands, but they are so far removed from original ska that they cannot be appropriately claimed as such. 3rd wave is so easy to get sick of, especially the bubblegum shit.


Good skeeeeeaaaaaah artists/backing bands:
Toots & the Maytals
Desmond Dekker & The Aces
Max Romeo and the Upsetters
The Ethiopians
The Skatalites
Laurel Aitken
Lee 'Scratch' Perry

[PRIMEape]

im surprised no one has mentioned the specials idk maybe some one has, but their soooo good. so is street light manifesto
