What's your favorite ska band?

That's a tough question for me because I basically love all of them but I'm really liking Streetlight Manifesto right now, so I'll say they're my favorite.

Madness. It's the only 'ska' band I listen to.

Ska-P>Panteon Rococo>all

the specials.

Streetlight Manifesto and Catch 22 Once you've heard them, most other ska bands absolutely pale in comparision. Streetlight especially has "ruined" ska for me, they are so good. Keasby Nights by either band is a damn solid album.majoras_wrath

I dunno I like Reel Big Fish and Less Than Jake but their songs aren't as consistently good as Streelight's.

If slightly stoopid & sublime are considered "ska" then thats what i like.

less than jake they are crazy awsome live easily my favorite concerts

The one that doesn't play :|

If I had to pick probably midnight Pumpkin and Ore Ska Band. Westbound train is decent and Suburban Legends used to be good but now they make me cry.

Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra

O.C. Supertones

Slapstick

The Aggrolites (if they can be considered ska... that might be a stretch)

The Planet Smashers

Suburban Legends. At least their old stuff. Their two most recent albums have been pretty meh.Jaks_Secret

The only Ska band that I would pay to see live.:P

Kevin goes 2 college By far one of the best ska bands here in Texas

Reel big fish, less than jake, mighty mighty bosstones

Hmm... A top 10 (a genre like Ska requires such)! 10. Skankin' Pickle (third wave Ska does deserve some recognition after all). 9. The Heptones 8. The Selecter. 7. Laurel Aitken 6. Duke Reid (An MC, DJ, band leader, and producer). 5. The Specials 4. King Hammond 3. The Skatalites 2. Alton Ellis 1. Desmond Dekker I'll teach you about Ska, Dancehall, Reggae, Dub, Ragga, Calypso, Rocksteady, and other genres rooted in the Caribbean, Juggernaut. ;) Mclovin, third wave Ska has incorporated aspects of Swing, but Ska is generally influenced by American Soul, (Rhythm and) Blues, and Jazz, as well as traditional African music, primarily East African music. It really is an intriguing story, if you're interested. :)YourChaosIsntMe
