TheShinje Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 [size=1][color=darkblue] me likey ska :D Ska music is great to listen too, especially if you are in a happy mood, I have heard some pretty good bands, like Sublime, Mustard Plug, A Newfound Glory, and Finch, these are pretty good punk/ska bands you can check out. My favorite ska band is whizz kidz, a Hamilton, New Zealand band, they've got a really col ska track called "boyracer" although until a mp3 appears on the net, i don't think you'll be hearing that one overseas anytime soon.

Guest The Mage Prince Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 A cool ska band is Less Than Jake they new stuff is punk but the early stuff is ska i think you might like one of there songs called "All my firends are metal heads" witch was on the digimon movie. the song starts up just as matt and t.k are on the scooter going to find a computer.

If you tell people to know their kusic and then speak with completely uder ignorance it pisses me of. Yes of course you listed many actual ska bands in that statment such as Less than Jake, Five Iron Frenzy and The Orange County Supertones. You also listed bands that are completely different. So I ask you PLEASE find out the difference between ska and chaotic metal. I don't see how anyone in their right minds can list Norma Jean (one of my favourite bands) as ska! Ok for all of you who don't know ska originates from island music, but today it's more of a punk style with brass instruments (trumpets,ect..) in it. And I've been to a norma jean concert and own both their cd's, and guess what?, no brass instruments. There were many other metal/core bands you listed that are deffinately NOT at all ska: eighteen visions, converge, and Every time i Die. Plus you also other mentioned other bands that are different styles and are deffinately NOT SKA! So if you tell people to get their facts straight get yours straight also!

Cora Jane 2 Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 [font=arial][size=1]Solitaire, it's "Point Blanc", not "point blank". Anywho. Another few bands that were already listed that I know are good are, "The Supertones" and "Five Iron Frenzy". Another good band is "The Insyderz". But yah, if I really wanted to I could put more down, but that requires some brain power. ~*~Frogger~*~[/font][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike speigel Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 I love Ska. I think you guys forgot a few, like: Slow Gehrkin, Face First, New Direxion, and The Impossibles. Those are the only ones I can think of right now that haven't been mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deedlit Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 [color=009966]Aquabats! Dude, you gotta listen to the Aquabats. Their songs are hilarious, and the music's cool. ^_______^[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Break Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 [size=1][color=crimson]Reel Big Fish are very good, I like them a lot. There's an British band called [Spunge], they're more ska/punk, but hey they're still pretty cool. Mighty Mighty Bosstones are okay, I just don't like the old school sound ^^;;[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 [color=black][size=1][font=rockwell] For the not so musically inclined or for lack thereof kind, what's exactly your definition of Ska? You know, I have a clue as to what Ska is, but I want to hear what [i]your[/i] definition of it is. No Doubt is pretty much the only band I can say, lol. I'm not really into Ska, but it's fine when I'm in the mood.[/color][/size][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semjaza Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 No Doubt was originally pretty ska if you want to get down to it. Gwen Stefani isn't even their original vocalist. There has always been a ska influence, until the last CD anyway (and I've been told they didn't even write half the music on it). It's been more poppy styled stuff for a long time though. Anyway, I mostly listen to Voodoo Glow Skulls... A band either people don't seem to know, pretend they know and don't like (as in, playing like 2 songs and deciding) or love like I do.

Guest QuickSilver Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 Ska Punk rules. Less than Jake, Mighty mighty boss tones, Reel big fish, Spunge they all cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Matt Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 [color=red][b]Less Than Jake takes the top spot for my favorite ska band now. I saw them live last night, friggin kick butt. My friend lost his keys (he was my ride home) in the LTJ pit, but then he found them again. Friggin lucky.[/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caffeinefreak5 Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 i love ska but hte best would probably be pennywise i guess transplants would sort of be considered ska (in my world @ least so go get some transplants music cause either ways its still good :devil: PUNK ROCK RULZ :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Musahi Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 I do listen to a bit of ska. Sublime is simply the best ska band out there (IMO) and there is no disputing that. I listen to a lot of Aquabats, Mustard Plug, and Mighty Mighty Bosstones. I have heard very little of Voodoo Glow Skulls, but what I have heard I enjoyed. "Fat Randy" is my favorite song by them. It really is great, I'll probably buy one of their CDs tommorow. And that'll take care of my money for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
