Fadfdfd Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I've recently gotten into Ska. I talked to MPC, who is now banned, about ska last night. He recommended a ton of awesome bands and songs to me. What are your favorite ska bands? I like Reel Big Fish, Streetlight Manifesto, Big D and the Kids Table, and the Suburban Legends. You guys?

Futurama Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Wheeyy! :D Guessing you're talking about Ska Punk? Less Than Jake, Capdown, [spunge], Catch 22 (part of streetlight manifesto), Rancid (kind of), Sublime, Long Shot Hero.. Ska Punk is awesome, always wanna dance n' skank when I hear it :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragen Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I quite like Reel Big Fish. It's just so happy and upbeat :D Thanks Venomai for this super sig and Kwimbob for the awesome avatar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futurama Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Ragen, if you listen to their lyrics, most of it's actually quite depressing lyrically, hahah. Beer \o/ They were good live too, shame they kept plugging their new album... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfilc23 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I listen to quite a bit of ska, though not as much as I used to. There's really 3-4 different styles or era/waves of ska. Early Jamaican Ska (50's & 60's): Desmond Dekker early Wailers Jimmy Cliff Prince Buster, etc. 2 Tone (70's & early 80's): The Specials Madness Selector English Beat 3rd Wave - Skacore and Ska Punk (90's+) Operation Ivy Mighty Mighty Bosstones The Toasters Let's Go Bowling Skankin Pickle The Skeletones Pietasters MU330 Dancehall Crashers early No Doubt Less than Jake Voodoo Glow Skulls Suicide Machines Leftover Crack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Punk is awesome, always wanna dance n' skank when I hear it :D I like Ska Punk. I like Suburban Legends (Bright Spring Morning) and Streetlight Manifesto (Failing, Flailing and Everything Goes Numb). I'm still learning about Ska so I haven't heard all the types, but I also enjoy RBF. It's so upbeat and the use of trumpets and horns make it more unique than other Ska bands.

Parabola Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I used to like bands like RBF and LTJ, but I grew out of them. The only ska I'd say I like now is Capdown and Madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assassin_696 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 depends on who u ask. How about an actual student of music? Like me. Trust me, reggae has lots of roots in ska but The Police and I Shot The Sheriff are both reggae.
