It warms my heart to see aspiring rudies on ns.com...check out Five Iron Frenzy and Buck-O-Nine if you like RBF. My friend saw them with Goldfinger and i really wish i could've gone...

They covered a cover...(they covered The Specials slightly changed version of Toots And The Maytals 'Money Man'. Thats a bit weird I think. But, it'd reccomend you check out those two bands for some more traditional ska.

I used to be a big fan way back in the day when they had good music. then several years ago they turned all mainstream and poppy. nothin is worse than pop music. they sold out

Reel Big Fish's new stuff is WAY better than Less Than Jake's new stuff. Less Than Jake practically asked for people to call them sell-outs. They got rid of most of their horns, signed with a major lablel, and completely strayed from their old style. I mean, it's good to experiment, but they are pushing it a little.

^room without a window, such a great song

i used to love RBF, back in the day of Everything Sucks and Turn the Radio Off. WDTRSH really turned me off though. by that time i was into street punk and real reggae, and i dont listen to them much anymore.

As for LTJ: they used to kick ass. there were few bands that could match LTJ, but now their stuff is so lame. it's truely pathetic. just like AFI

k, Less Than Jake might have sold out but it's not because of their major label, well the fact they made 'She's gonna break soon' their single kind of is, but seriously some of the stuff on Anthem rivals their old stuff, different yes but still quality, 'Plastic CUp Politics' beautiful song...and no one had better call me a poser Less Than Jake fan cause i've listened to them for a long time

of about 10 cds i've actually paid for 3 of them were Reel Big Fish.

okay, i just gotta say...please stop making the FARP video things. Its cool if you wanna make them and all, but dont make a website about it etc. Or at least get better first. You are hurting the industry. When snowboarders see skiers like Fred and Randall doing stupid flailing 360 attempts 8 inches off the ground, they laugh there heads off, and skiing takes another blow. So please, if you wanna make your movies, thats cool. But just stop trying to get noticed. Thats all. Peace. P.S. Your spinning the wrong way.-sunvalleyskibum

Haha, take on me was great. and back to Less Than Jake's new stuff, i didn't say i disliked the album, i just didn't like the direction it was going in. Best Wishes to your Black Lung is possibly one of my favorite songs from them ever, and plastic cup politics and science of selling yourself short and look what happened and the a-bomb house are all good songs, they're just not what LTJ used to be.

really the only good think RBF has ever done, in my opinion, is the cover of Hungry Like The Wolf by Duran Duran

turn the radio off was their best album, by far, every song was good. Beer, Everything Sucks, Trendy, She has girlfriend now, Sell out, 241. there was no bad song. I didnt think the album Cheer Up was that good. but they were by far my faviorate show to go to. although Planet Smashers are up there too

FUCK REEL BIG FISH
Lazy bastards are suing Less Than Jake because they made a song called, Johnny Quest thinks We're Sellouts...supposedly copied off the song sellout which isn't true, based off a real person named Johnny, so i'm boycotting Reel Big Fish for life, and they suck nowdays so it's convinient to have an excuse
