Day 19
RX Bandits
Blue Meanies
Catch 22
Less Than Jake
Mad Caddies
Slapstick
Voodoo Glow Skulls
Five Iron Frenzy
One Cool Guy



All of those are superb bands. Amongst them, my top three would be Less Than Jake, Catch 22, and the RX Bandits (not in any particular order).

Skank on!

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

Don't forget the classics: The Specials, the English Beat, and The Selector.

can i recommend that you dont listen to ska =( listen to some good punk rock or emo music


to quote propagandhi
"ska sucks,
ska revival isnt cool you stupid fu_ks
the bands are only in it for the bucks
and if you dont belive me your a schmuck
but the tred will die out with any luck"

listen to some no knife or some ben kweller

 

[PenguinPower]

Definately Less Than Jake or Reel Big Fish. Another great one that hasn't been mentioned is Mustard Plug, or maybe even Skankin Pickle

why do you care as to why i care?




<< can't belive nobody has mentioned The Queers >>




The queers are not ska, do you even listen to the music you recommend?

 

[gopunk]

why do you care as to why i care?

why do you answer my question with another? i just find it odd that you come in a thread to tell people not to listen to a genre of music.

its bad music, this when when he realize ska sucks and moves onto good music he will remember to look up ben kweller and no knife

 

[spamsk8r]

ska sucks, punk rocks. that said, op ivy is good along with a few songs from less than jake (johnny quest thinks we're sellouts is great)
If you want to listen to some real music though fire up some good old Bad Religion (I mean old bad religion, like no control and suffer)
