Third wave is generally a crappy genre with a few decent bands, Big D and the Kids Table being the first one that come to mind.

I like you already!!!
Ska is the best and most danceable sound around! If ska is to be likened to anything it's more like reggae, (everyone seems to know reggae but not ska or rocksteady!??). The Beat were/are my faves, add to the list: Toots & The Maytals, you all must've heard of them??
3rd wave is mostly a pile of ****e, original ska and 2-Tone had alot of political and social awareness behind it - the great majority of this new this lot have got no soul.
