I love how someone lists goldfinger as a ska band after someone else says multiple times that they are not (truthfully, they really are not).

I definately aggree with:

The Specials
The Skatalites
& The Toasters

he pretty much covered the really good higher profile ska bands.

Plus, he might even like the music I listed, he might not like yours. You dont have to be a ignorant fuck every time you post, how would you like it if I or other people tore up every post you made.

LineSkiEastCoast, the only problem with the bands you listed (I like most of them) is that they are not ska. Ska is reggae with horns and only that, NO guitars! Most of the bands you listed are punk/ska. In other words Punk bands with horns and usually some reggae influnce. But like Goldfinger uses guitars more then any other insterment, in alot of their songs they don't even have horns, so they would not be ska.

line 1260, the bands you are listing are definately SWEET, and i guess your into street punk and REAL ska (i can see from your other posts) but you dont need to put down other bands like lagwagon (seen in different post)and less than jake and goldfinger (even though they are not true ska) this is no offense to you or anything though, just saying

the thing is though, if i wanna bitch about how much a band sucks, who is gonna stop me?not trying to argue for the sake of arguement, but thats what these boards are for.

Yeah, i like a lot of streetpunk/romper stomp stuff too.

i asked what bands to check out, and you gave me some good ones, but while doing that you dont need to put down other bands that i think also kick ass and say that no one on this forum knows anything about music so dont listen to them
