Ska!

Yeah I think we're comparing 2 different generations of Ska.

i love ska! these have all probably been named already, but here are a couple good bands i know of:
NOFX
less than jake
sublime(kinda/notreally/idk)
goldfinger
reel big fish

Sublime is more reggae/rock like 311.

On a side note, 311 is the most amazing band ever. Of the 13 albums I've heard, there is not a single song that doesn't make me move. They're talented, very talented. And amazing live

What abotu Judge Dredd?

Still ain't ska.

Judge Dredd is lookin' rough,he was one of the first white guys to try his hand at ska way back when.

Pale imitators in every sense of the word.

Sheesh Alabaster, who are you to say what is and isn't Ska?

Are all categories of rock classified the same? I don't think so. Chill out.

What can I say,I'm a stickler for facts.

Ska is a specific form of Jamaican music,circa 1956 to 1968. Anything else is an imitation. The Specials,The Selector,and the Beat had players from the Ska era in them,that's why I included them.

I'm even worse about Punk. Punk is American phenomena starting circa 1973,going worldwide in '76,and ending in roughly 1979/80. The last two Punk bands were Stiff Little Fingers and The Minutemen.

For the record,Henry Rollins is a punk only in the prison definition of the word.

I'll leave your thread now.

And Coke will always be better than Pepsi right?

Ska is ska. Whether YOUR OPINION'S like it or not.


Upbeat timing/chords, off beats, typically horns, random quirkiness/satircal-ish comedy, shitload of percussion (IMhumbleO) lol, and mainfested positivity! That is basically ska.

Not limited to a specific era of time. BECAUSE, good sir, then EVERY damn genre of music would ACTUALLY be dead. lol


Unlike punk or ska. Which are still very much alive..


And besides didn't the age of ska that you mentioned result from the American clash of rock w/ Jamaican reggae?

Like the Mento and Calypso styles coming from Africa and South America to help form reggae and the genres of Jamaica..

Now, i shall rip some Propagandhi. One of the last true fucking punk bands.. lol and in their own words are "Anti-fascist, Gay-positive, animal friendly, & pro-feminist."

Ok, here's a few for my fellow geezers. Enjoy.
