Ska Music

How many people here have listened to (or even heard of) ska music? Its basically rock with brass instruments. Most bands have a lot of funk/jazz influences so it tends to be a very upbeat/positive genre.

Some ska bands are...

Big D and the Kids Table
Buck-O-Nine
Catch 22
Goldfinger
Less than Jake
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Mustard Plug
Reel Big Fish
Streetlight Manifeso

discuss?

I'm not a huge fan, but i do enjoy what i've heard. Save Ferris is another good Ska band.

Well, you're thinking of Ska Punk, but yeah, it's pretty good.CRS98

People argue too much about the sub genres so i prefer to stay away from'em

Great music when playing Tony Hawk ProSkater.

I've seen Streetlight and a few other bands live. I'm not a big fan of ska though. Went to hang with friends. :P

Nah never heard of ska.......CoolSkAGuy

Not a fan. Tends to annoy me a bit.

Ska is great music yet its unfortunate alot of people arent aware of it. Also the bands listed come under the category of 3rd wave ska if u want to get into it sub genre.htotheo

ya most of what i listen to is 3rd wave. i just prefer a more produced sound.

I actually find those arguments some of the funniest to over hear or be a part of, usually people arguing these sub genres whether it be ska, metal, punk, etc. tend to be more elitist which means making up things about music aka miley cyrus is hardcore deathmetal usually gets a serious reaction.
