best live!
I normally don't listen to ska at home but I love going to really fast ska concerts. I've seen Panteon Rococo twice, tehy are amazing!!! also love ska-p, la kinky beat and Gogol Bordello (on tour right now), although the last ones are a little different, not specifically ska ...
Ska...
I second that
I love ska!
And you're both right, it all started in Jamaica as a precursor to reggae, and then it became the "soundtrack" of the first punk movement in England, because no punk was recorded yet!
Believe it or not, Sweden has a great ska scene at the moment, one of the best bands is Eskalator and I'm happy to promote them, not just because my friends are in the band...

SKA!
im not a huge ska fan, but there was an amazing melbourne based ska band that i loved, called "sounds like chicken" and they were crazy!! any one heard of them??
they were great live, but unfortunately they split last year..
Ska is pretty great
Ska is pretty great i have to say. im more of a punk/indie person and i also love reggae so of coarse i would like ska.
my high school days were full of skanking
to the beat of ska music, particularly reel big fish--i rocked my vans! my favorite remakes of songs are the ska versions....save ferris with come on eileen; somebody else did 'it's not unusual'
aww...thanks for the trip down memory lane
Ska is my FAVORITE! I
Ska is my FAVORITE! I adore ska. I skank it up hardcore!
I love Five Iron Frenzy. They primarily played the christian scene (i was kind of a bible thumper growin up, lol) but they also played in clubs and such. They broke up Fall of '03, and one of my biggest regrets in life is that I never got to see them play live!
i almost mentioned five iron as well
i saw them play 3 times, the last time during their farwell tour...they were such a fun band! i wasn't the biggest fan of them until their last tour though...a few of my friends actually drove to colorado (from WI) to see their last show ever, which I guess was pretty amazing! who knows, maybe they'll have a reunion show and you'll get to see them then :)
have you ever heard of the oc supertones?
i'm so freaking jealous
i'm so freaking jealous heidi!
FIF is the soundtrack to my life it seems. . .
yeah, i love the OC Supertones!
I haven't seen them in concert either. *laments*I think all rock needs horns. Brass makes music better.
reese is a lyrical genius
so it's not surprising that "FIF is the soundtrack" to your life :)
i too grew up kind of a bible thumper, as did my friends...but we also grew up totally addicted to going to shows, it seems like that was the sole purpose of our jobs: cds and concerts
there is this christian music fest in illinois every summer called cornerstone, so that's where i saw the supertones and five iron the 1st time...and where i was introduced to skanking :) i think i was 15...so that was um...11 yrs ago....wow do i feel old and dated....
i agree with the horns in rock...it's just more fun.
oh man, i've wanted to go
oh man, i've wanted to go to Cornerstone for years and years, ever since like yeah, 1999. . . it's never happened though. man.
Reese is amazing with lyrics. some songs make me cry, some make me want the change the world!
I was BIG into Ska when I
I was BIG into Ska when I was in middle school. Like above I was a HUGE fan of FIF. I saw them once live but they were kinda jerks. I liked the Supertones and I saw them too. They had a really great show (they wore the orange and blue jump suits) but then they got all serious at the end so I went to the merch table. AHAHA. The Insyderz were good too and I saw them too and I like them better live then on cd. Good bunch of guys.
I've always wanted to go to Cornerstone but either didn't have a ride or didn't have the time. *sad face*.
I liked Swing too like The W's and Flight 180. (Was there only swing album The Lineup or whatever it was called?)
ahh!! totally into Flight
ahh!! totally into Flight 180 and The W's. Flight 180 owned!!! them and element 101, chick fronted swing/punk/ska mishmash.
The insyders cracked me up. I have their skaleluia cd, and it's still some of the only worship music of that era I can listen to. . .

Oh gosh. Element 101. I never bought a cd of theirs, but I have one song of them from a christian comp cd. But this girl (who was much older) who I had THE BIGGEST gianormus crush on was really good friends with the lead singer. So I was "totally" into them to back then. Even though I had hardly listened to them. HA, I totally forgot all about that.
I wish I was into more ska besides christian ska. But those crazy christians were making ska music like crazy. I did like The Suicide Machines I believe.
Does any other of the people that grew up on christian music remember Noggintoboggin (sp?) If I remember they were ska as well.
Ska and crushes on camp counselors!

ahhh Noggintoboggin! I barely remember them. . . I think i got one of their songs off of a sampler. . .
Lol, I had sooooo many crushes on girls that were on church camp counselors lol. I go through my pictures from back in the day, and there are sooo many pictures of me with counselors. . . i'm like "heh" it makes me laugh!

high school flashback
I was really into ska during highschool. A lot of my classmates were, actually - probably had something to do with the fact that some Reel Big Fish members went there.
I was really into the Specials, Op Ivy, Less than Jake, Goldfinger, Reel Big Fish, Save Ferris, old No Doubt... I'm going to stop now.
And for an added touch of nerdiness - I wrote a paper about the Specials/2 tone ska in general for a history of rock and roll class during undergrad (the topic was "what band/genre we didn't cover in this class should have been included?"). It's weird the stuff you remember...
Dude, those jesus camp, camp
totally man! oh yeah, sooo
totally man! oh yeah, sooo many jesus camp counselors!
i've been the hot jesus camp counselor myself. (and somehow, I still ended up with a crush on one of the counselors there is just something sexy about a camp counselor)
Sublime...
their very first cd secind hand smoke was great, Get Out and Dont Push both song i can listen to over and over
LIVE.SKATE.DIE
Oh Middle/High School.
Oh Middle/High School. Those were the days. No Doubt, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Sublime, and Fishbone were all I listened to. Recently I've been listening to a lot of Rocksteady, mostly Jimmy Cliff.
No Doubt fucking owned. New album
