The Hate for Ska (reggae, rock, genre, quote, bands)

Hey hey, whats wrong with Saves The Day? Seriously, they're way better then Rufio.

Both Saves the Day and Rufio are worth a listen. Some of the best Ska bands never got what the rightfully deserved. Maphescalies (sp?), Catch 22, 10 Minutes Down (we worked with them on Warped). And yes, it is the happiest music out there. Its the best of both worlds to some: rock and jazz... but then there is always the reggae twist. It comes in waves, and the tide is changing I think.

Ska is alright, There are only a few ska bands I listen to though. Alot of my friends listen to it though.

Ska live is enjoyable. Ska otherwise causes allergic reactions in my ears. I'll agree its happy and energetic, but, unless it's at a live gig and I'm there more for the atmosphere and the likes, I don't listen to it.

(And both Saves The Day and Rufio are kickass.)

They were Ska, then evolved later to Reggae.

The Slackers are greatness in digital coding that I'm not taking the time to learn.

Isn't ska just a subgenre of reggae?

First ska then rocksteady then reggae. Atleast that's what I've always thought.
