The Ska Education Thread (punk, rock, member, myspace, bands)

Muzak · 02-19-2006, 08:21 PM

I was consulting with my brother (he is a complete Ska freak) and he says the the Ska sub genre is split between the third wave and second wave as two seperate sub genres, what do you think?
Edit: If this is wrong, don't sit there in disbelief, just tell it is wrong.

exactly. I don't listen to ska. This has enlightened me and I know now just a little bit more.

I vote that you do remake this however. I would consult with some members who have alot of knowledge, and your brother sounds like he knows whats up as well.

plus, defend your position dude. I had to in the Metal thread, you should in here as well.

keep it up.

Thank you riseagainstrocks. I am not as sure as I could be about it though. I just want to see what others want to bring to the table. and I know the sub-gernres isn't perfect but someone needs to specify (as in your own decription).

This is the worst thread ever!! DIE! And by worst, I mean, good job mate. It looks like you changed quite a few things. The way I would have handled the subforum stuff, is to just mention ska-punk/ska-core in the third wave part, instead of explicitly putting it like you have. Also, christian ska? That probably can do without mention.

Thank you hookers with machineguns, I will be taking you feedback.

I need to look up some of the stuff to find the best way to incorperate some of the info so it might take me a while.

Good to see people interested in the history.

What is wrong with having christian ska on the history of ska, they are a part of it. Not to mention Insyderz, Five Iron Frenzy, and O.C. Supertones are acutally good bands, I think atleast an honorable mention.

Wow, I had no idea Ska was like that.. well I did because this one guy I talk to told me about it because I'm interested in this type of music so yea..

But I really like Sublime and a lot of songs by Bad Religion....

bardonodude · 04-09-2007, 06:17 PM

Yea, I remember way back when I wanted to listen to more ska other than sublime, and the mighty mighty bosstones so I just typed in "ska" in kazaa and the skatalites were the first band I listened to. I was thinking, this is not ska, no singing, I guess these guys suck and are underground since the recordings sound like crap haha. Then of course like 3 years later, I found that they were considered to be the first ska band and what have you lol. Thats a good history you wrote dude, very informing.

AeternusAmatorius · 04-10-2007, 01:05 PM

My first ska band, that's considered ska, that I listened to was Sublime. My one friend said it was "Date Rape" but I don't think it was because the song I heard had cat meows in it and the version I have on my playlist on my myspace doesn't have cats in it. lol.

I don't really listen to much ska but I do like it.
