There's some cool ska bands, I haven't listened to most of them in a while, but they still hold a special place in my heart. Especially over the summer.

I think it depends specifically how you use it, a lot of people use the term reggae to encompass ska, rocksteady, and the more specific subgenre of reggae. Bah, semantics.

Ska was first, then Reggae, rocksteady ect.

ska's good!

Just say two words to any ska haters..."two-tone"

I got two-tone socks yesterday...................BAD ASS!!!!

I wanna see photo's....

MJ's feet...:love:

you got a foot fetish??

Nawwww.......
Just an MJ thing....

/is completely straight.

I'll post 'em up tommorrow, my camera is downstairs and I am lazy

Haha.

Schweet.

Ska is gay.

I dislike you, now.

:(

You mean you didn't before??

I "valued his opinion"
Or something...

Sorry my dear, it's an inside funny. Ethan would probably understand it. I like alot of the original ska music.

My bad.

Ha, I did.

In some sense, most ska is pretty appalling music. I'm thinking the guitars and the vocal styling particularly. It's great for dancing to when you're drunk though, so I guess it sits somewhere around bad disco and 80's electro on my sliding scale.

Most people at [I]my[I] school have never heard of ska.

Ska is the ****. If you dont like it, well then you can just go to hell!

Ska=best genre of music ever ever ever ever ever.

ska is good in small doses

I'm in an indie based school, so a lot of hatred for ska.

tokyo ska paradise orchestra are awesome

^^ Hell yes.

I have found that with most forms of music-I get bored. I left school a long time ago-so not really bothered what people think-although my female work colleague loves ska so I get to blast some out at work sometimes! A local band SKANKT (U.K) are a fave at the moment.

Most people I know think Reel Big Fish is Ska.

I got the new Slackers a few weeks ago and it is a really solid album

... Reel Big Fish are a ska band. Third wave, sure, but ska nonetheless.

yeah

How can anyone not like ska? Music can be so serious sometimes. It's nice to just kick back and get into tha groove.

Most people who have ska-hatred don't know even know what it is. If you ask them, I bet they'll come up with Sublime and Reel Big Fish as examples - not that they aren't ska, but people don't tend to stretch their horizons further than those bands.

l3ftovR cR@k iz so $kA!!!

I live in Dubai, and here there are probably like 5 people who actually know what Ska is. In about 2008/09 we lost our best local Ska band, they all went away to University in the UK & USA. But a lot of people I'm friends with really hate it when I play ska, I don't know why but all they do is complain to turn the crap off, but that's mainly first wave stuff like The Specials and what not, but they are alright with stuff like Reel Big Fish and all the poppy fun stuff like that but stuff like Streetlight and Less Than Jake they REALLLY can't stand, it's kinda depressing cause I love listening to ALL of it, it puts me in a great mood but meh, I save it for alone time, which isn't really what ska is intended for but oh well you know...I have a few people who like it so I can skank around with them :P

Bands like The Specials are second wave Ska, not first. Let's give the Jamaican inventors of the music a little credit FFS.

This is the damn problem. Not enough education.

Oh c'mon, what's 30 years of history? If the end results are bands like Reel Big Fish, can't we just forget about Jamaica. (Wow, I think even my warped sense of humor may have it's limits).

Crap, sorry. Meant to put second actually, trying to do a million things at once and listen to people talking at the same time doesnt really make for Coherent posts I guess =p my bad.

Seeing Bomb The Music Industry! next weekend. ****ING excited.
