Thanks for replyin. The only first wave Bands i knew were the Skatalites. But i knew a lot of the second wave bands! I even went to see Madness a while back! They amazin so much fun! Mighty Mighty Bosstones was the first ska i ever heard!!! They're real good. But i'd say my fave band at the mo is the slackers.
Well thanks again!

Hi Megzer
You're welcome. I think fun is the key word when it comes to ska. It's the most exhilerating and uplifting music I've ever heard! Some of the late 1970s/early 1980s gigs were rough though. At that time, ska's main fan base were skinheads, and some of them were just out to cause trouble. Most fans weren't like that. It was just a minority spoiling it for everyone else. We don't see much of that now, thank God! I guess they were rougher times (a lot of unemployment etc),
