Do you listen to Ska?
Yeah. Ska! Ska Ska Ska! It originated in Jamaica as dance music, which influenced Reggae in the long run. The style is basically swing/punk with horns. Very cool stuff. Bands include:
Blue Meanies Mustard Plug Insyderz Five Iron Frenzy Supertones The first two I have never listened to, but the others rock. I've seen both FiF and the Supertones in concert also. YaY!

The only ska band I know of is Reel Big Fish. They're pretty good, but I like rock more. Especially soft rock, cuz I'm a softie...

I've heard of Reel Big Fish, but never heard any of their music. But come on, people! I'm sure some of you out there like this stuff as much as I do!

Ska is not really new.
Does anyone remember the band "Madness" and their hit "One step beyond"?  |

I like ska. Reel Big Fish is really cool. Aren't the Supertones a Christian band? And maybe FIF too? (Actually that's just a guess since I saw Eliot wearing one of their shirts! Kinda biased...) I saw the Supertones at Festival Con Dios a couple years ago. It was fun! I don't really remember any of their songs though...

I think it was made of aluminum or something.  Just a dumb story.  I probably have some other 70's ska in the album collection.

*feels very old since someone asked "does anyone remember Madness?"*
The Specials were excellent. Also The Beat were big here in the early 80s. Is there finally a long-overdue ska revival going on out there in young-person-land? |

Ska is still breathing with the youngins. Just look to NOFX among other "young" punk/ska bands. Love their version of Hotel California. Course a lot of the under 18 crowd dont actually realize its called ska so... its just what they play.

Yeah,I think ska is coming back for
young folk.  Five Iron Frenzy and Supertones ARE christian bands,and they are really great. I saw both of them in concert,up close,and they were great!
