Ska doesn't seem too popular around here, I don't know why, but I have recently become interested in it. What are some good ska songs I should check out? Specific songs please, don't just say, "check out reel big fish" or something. Please... I'll be your friend...

There was a 'Why do people hate ska thread" a couple of days ago... there were 20+ people saying how much they loved Ska with only 2 or 3 people who said that they didn't like it.
So yeah, apparently Ska is stamped with the Talkbass Seal of Approval.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2001 Location: The Dark Side Of the Moon | | Area 7 - I cannot recomend this band enough. They havnt made it big world wide (yet), but Im sure you can find lots of their songs on the net. They are without a doubt the best ska band I have ever heard. Plus they started before Ska become popular, so they are original, not bandwagon jumpers. Check out the following songs:
Let Me Down
Bitter And Twisted
Second Class Citizen
Road Rage
Schizo (Im A Scizophrenic And So am I)
Everyone I know who has seen this band love them, even those who would usually hate ska or punk. Plus they are great guys in real life, the day after a festival I ended up sitting next to them in a cinema! They were happy to have a chat and sign my CD (Which I had just bought after seeing them play the previous day!)
Check em out at: http://www.area7.com.au |

is a classic. Also, start off with the 2-tone stuff (Specials, Beat, Selecter, Body Snatchers, Madness...) and work your way fwd. Don't even listen to NoDoubt, Save Ferris, ReelBigFish, et al, until you have the roots down.
