ska is about as cool as gay people and pink polo shirts

Check out Leftover Crack, if you can handle them.

MMB is classic; so, so much more than ska

Ska rocks, all the haters haven't heard true ska. They've prolly only heard horrible pop-ska bands like sublime. for true ska try Mustard Plug, Aquabats and Operaion Ivy. True jammin music.

Screw saving money, I want instant gratification now!

actually, to the guy who said what we are talking about isnt ska, he is correct. this is 3rd wave ska revival.

The Specials are not officially ska either though. They are 2nd wave British ska.

True ska came straight out of Jamaica

Gotta go and say the best ska band is the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Really good music and not just the mellow ska stuff people are used to. Listen to them.

The English Beat...some of the members later formed the specials...listen to 'mirror in the bathroom' for the definition of 2nd wave ska. as for newer stuff, operation ivy has some good songs.

I'll have to totally disagree with you, there. Specials came before the (English) Beat, so Beat members couldn't have formed the specials. And better representation of 2nd Wave Ska would be like Guns of Navarone or Baggy Trousers or something. And thank you Jazz for finally fixing all of this 'true ska is aquabats and mustard plug and Bosstones' shit. Know your roots, people!

Emo kids don't cry because they're sad all the time, they cry because they have to listen to that horrible music all the time. I'd cry if i had to listen to that whiny music over and over and over....wouldn't you?

(I'm in a band, go to purevolume.com and check out East Coast Skank. Our recording sucks, but bear with it...)

RX Bandits are definately original. The Progress CD is amazing. Catch 22 is prolly my favorite ska band ever, and Streetlight Manifesto rocks too. Manifesto is playing at the Skate and Surf fest that I'm going to in a couple weeks. Old old RBF was cool too...they played Sellout on the radio the other day and I shit my pants. Same with old Less Than Jake. Anyone every heard of The Flaming Tsunamis or The Superspecs? Sorta more local east coast bands......

I too will say Mad Caddies, if for no other reason than for making an ABBA song good.

Mento+jazz=ska ->rocksteady, reggae
ska-> Brit ska -> two tone -> third wave
ska-core happened about the same time as the third wave, which is mostly punk or rock with horns and ska influence.

The definitive characteristics of ska are playing on the afterbeat and walking bass lines (similar to jazz), its not horns as most people seem to believe.

so Voodoo Glow Skulls, Less Than Jake and Against all Athority (example) would be ska core and Bosstones and Buck-0-nine and Crypto Star would be 3rd wave?

let me just add thst I don't like Less than jakes new albume much.

Yeah, not a fan of the new less than jake....they are becoming a punk band. And they are definately a boring punk band.

I forgot Five Iron Frenzy...great call.

Anyone heard of the Spitvalves?
