Ska is super cool, reminds me of 90's pool parties for some reason. [video=youtube;KeGvmybaLq8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeGvmybaLq8[/video]

SKAVOOVIE! Ska is easily first and foremost my favorite music.

Reel Big has great horn's too. They've gone through so many diff. member's... only the two singers Scott and Aarron are still there if i remember correctly... so if you wonder where their sound has gone.... lol

Op Ivy, that was a long time ago.

 

[redivider]

a lot of poppunk bands in here masquerading as 'ska'....

that genre got perverted by No Doubt wannabe's..... Reel Big Fish and the Skatalites were kinda good i guess....

 

[skolar182]

I used to listen to tons of Ska. My username "Skolar" is actually from an old ska band I used to listen to a lot. The Skolars turned into Telegraph and they put on a reunion show 2 years ago. Check out the songs "Head First Feet First" and "Unity Song" below. They were really popular in the late 90's around here in Detroit and were compared to Op Ivy, Mustard Plug, and maybe a more street version of Less Than Jake.

And The Skolars did the best Unity song to date better than Op Ivy's version.

Well you kiddies got one real Ska outfit in the bunch,the Skatalites. Where are the Ethiopians,The Wailing Wailers,Jimmy Cliff,The Upsetters, Prince Buster,David and Ansil Collins,Lee Perry,Roland Aphonso,King Tubby,Dandy Livingstone,and more importantly,Don Drummond,and The Original Rude Boy,Desmond Dekker and his band The Aces?

All those other bands you listed are Madness/Bad Manners imitators,which was Pub-Rock with a skanking beat. The Specials,The Beat,and the Selector are the only worthy ska bands of that era.

Don Drummond and Desmond Dekker have mercy on your souls.
