In your opinion, who is the greatest Ska band?

Ska

Ska is an amazing genre of music, and it is my personal favorite. Anybody wanna comment on that? I know I'm not the only one who loves ska.

I used to really like ska. The Specials were my fave..by a long way. It brought a bit of fun to the scene...

Good for you, for enjoyinh it.

not really into it but i have nothing against it

i havent much Ska ... but i did hear Goldfinger and i kinda like them

I'm also partial to Goldfinger, they've got some pretty strong lyrics blended in with infectious sounds.

For those of you on here that haven't heard a lot of ska, and want to, I would strongly suggest checking out the bands I have posted above in the poll. They are amazingly talented.

Come on down, you ska fans. VOTE!

i like reel big fish

specials...

ahhh, the specials....old school.

I love ska music. Ska is the hybrid of Reggae and Rock.......and I like both. I really like the slower/mellow ska......more of a reggae flavor to it. It turns me off when a lot of ska bands make rock music and throw a couple horns in the background and try to pawn it off........

I'm not voting because you didn't even list three of the greatest ska bands........Ruder than You, Skankin' Pickle or The Toasters.

i like the rx-bandits the most, the catch-22, then buck-o-nine

I don't like The Toasters. Skankin' Pickle isn't bad, and I haven't heard Ruder Than You. I can only fit 10 bands on here, ya know...I put the ones that most people will have heard of.

yeah because you sure did miss alot of great bands
-hepcat
-insteps
-bosstones
-slackers
-pietasters

but then again those are jsut some of my favorites.

hey and if anyone lives in the philly area check out ruder than you on friday!

I don't like Hepcat. I know I forgot the Bosstones, forgot Slackers, and I haven't heard the Pietasters...but I know they have a new album due out soon.

whos that the pietasters?.... i think they are having a new live cd coming out. but an actually cd in not sure, i know they are putting out a dvd😱. if you like the bosstones im pretty sure you ll like pietasters!

how can you hate hepcat? they are the only band of the third wave that are truest to the roots of Jamacian Ska. maybe you jsut picked up the wrong album not saying that some of their albums suck but they jsut need time to grow on ya. their best album is Scientific...

that could be. I just don't really like the Jamaican voice. But I'm sure it will grow on me.

I like ska 'cause the let horn players take REAL solo's

you sure you got the right band?

if your talking bout steves voice(lead singer of pietasters) then you a little crazy in the head 😛 . steve is prob one of the closest (but not) guys to being a frat boy!

if you listened to certain songs like "cant stand it" or "drunken masters" you will here more of a regae voice which is not steve. the guys name escapes me now but hes some screwny white guy.

if you want some good pietasters songs check out:
Maggie Mae
Freak Show
Out All Night
Biblical Sense
or my favorite Stone Feelings!

ok, thanks.
