Ska is the best genre of music for sure.

Skunk is the shit. My brother used to be really into the punk scene and it was the first ska music I ever heard.

I have a friend whos always going around jumping and swinging to his Ska music. Hes epileptic so at first I though he was having a seizure and got worried, but then he soon explained it was just Ska. That's my opinion of that music.




True story too.

Oh yeah, I love me some first wave and two-tone ska.


"Punk ska" isn't really ska all the time (although I do love a lof of those bands). To be considered ska, it has to be heavily syncopated (emphasis coming on the off beats). A lot of bands that call themselves ska are just rock with horns.

You already have my favorite ska band, the specials, up there, but a few other good bands first wave and two-tone to look into are: The slackers, The toasters, Special beat, Skoidats, Planet Smashers
