Favourite Ska Bands

Mine would be:

No Doubt
Sublime
Madness

very good bands! yay

Woah there! Sublime! OMG they are the coolest band. Everybody at my school thinks they are soooo cool OMG. Even some of the guys dress like them! ROFL punk clothes are so in it's not funny. I got meself some damn good red black and white shoes the other day! wooo!

Oh and that Gwen from No Doubt! Wooooah Mumma! She is so fine! I wish more girls had fashion sense like her and stopped wearing all that damn fairy crap.

SUBLIMES COOL, BUT THAT SANTERIA IS WAY PLAYED OUT...AND PUNK CLOTHES IS JUST ANOTHER TREND THAT A BUNCH OF KIDS ARE GONNA FOLLOW BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO HAVE SOME KIND OF IMAGE AND CANT BE THEMSELVES

ANYBODY LIKE OLD OLD SKOOL SKA....LIKE ORIGINAL SKA...LIKE BOB MARLEY WHEN HE FIRST STARTED OR THE SKATALITES?

note.... madness are on my list, they are an awesome ska band
i would also classify no doubt as an old skool ska band as they did start in 1986, but not many of you guys would know that, listen to their old stuff before tragic kingdom, its awesome. sublimes songs are always gonna be played out cos they are no longer around to make new music
and i wouldnt classify bob marelys old stuff as ska....still reggae if u ask me

bob marly is awesome.. but not ska. i love catch 22, ive never really been sure if that is ska though.. sublime is one of my all time favorite bands. i never really though of that as ska though, i always thought it was kind of reggea too. i always thought most of his songs didnt have a fast enough beat to be ska. thats just me though, wouldnt doubt it if im wrong.

well ska is a mix of reggae and rock, so a lot of sublimes music has that reggae feel to them, but they do definately hae songs that classify as ska

ive been listening to reel big fish a lot lately too, they are pretty damn good. if you like sublime you will definately like RBF

ill have to download some of them.

cool, yeah majority of their stuff is pretty good, i really like it

<-- completely in love with reel big fish. thanks man.

no problem, glad i could help, they are pretty cool
you should check out madness too, they were one of the first ska bands to surface back in the 80's

my friend likes ska. Apparently "The Specials" are good

cool i'll check them out

You all need an education. Toots and the Maytals are the original ska band. No Doubt did was on a Toots and the Maytals tribute album. You know that Sublime song "54-46", that is a cover of a Toots and the Maytals song. If you wanna check out some tight ska, listen to Toots and the Maytals live, it was just re-released and re-maastered. It's a great live album with all their best songs on it. You have to go check out the roots of these bands you like today. I wasn't even born yet when this cocnert took place but I still dig the Maytals. Check it out at

NO ADVERTISING!
