I haven't found any ska fans lately? So, I was wondering if anyone here's gotta thing for it? Like the Aquabats, Skatalites, Voodoo Glow skulls, Suicide Machines, Mad Caddies, or any other ska-ish bands?

skas been dead lady

It's not DEAD! It still exsists just because it isn't mainstream, but even the underground krap is dying out, and it saddens me but I guess I am one of the few that like it anyways!

What is Ska exactly. Are there any well-known, or semi-well-known bands that fit in to this genre?

Ska is a variation of modern punk with a brass influence also.

Older Goldfinger is a really well known version of Ska.

Would Sublime be considered Ska?

The Specials...Madness,, theyre ska arent they?

recently tho, Reel Big Fish are ska-punk.....and Spunge
but im no expert at all haha!

was ska ever really alive?

I though it was during the mid 90s amongst Grunge.

There really is no such thing as Ska-Punk. All Ska is Ska-Punk. Reel Big Fish are all about Ska.

I used to be a huge Punk and Ska fan. When people asked me what music I like, I said Skunk. It was easier.

Ska (acoerding to my friend is charva music)

I like Sublime a lot... That's about it though.

i like a spanish ska band, they're pretty well known in spain
and sumblime rocks!!

Five Iron Frenzy is the absolute best ska band in history.

Skatalites - Foundation Ska - Good stuff.
Like the toasters?
I'm not much for newer stuff. Like Ska-Punk. But Goldfinger are good live.

Gonna agree with those who questioned if Ska was ever really alive.

The sheer monotony of the genre, like "punk", would have killed it's appeal so long ago. I, too, went through a ska phase. Bosstones, RBF, Aquabats, FIF, early No Doubt , Sublime, Dance Hall Crashers, BO9, LTJ, etc.

It's forgettable.

Is ska dying?

I hope so.

i sure hope it's not dying...Ska music was great. Bands like Buck-O-Nine, The Impossibles, Less Than Jake, Goldfinger, and of course RX-Bandits made the genre great...sadly a lot of these bands have since broken up or are jsut not at the top of their game anymore...really great genre, i'm sad that it's not as prevalent as it once was

Hopefully.
