Save Ferris? No Doubt? Reel Big Fish? God, you people know nothing about Ska... Pauline Black from The Selecter. End. You wanna see a movie about Ska? Watch Dance Craze. You wanna know what GOOD Ska sounds like? Listen to The Specials, Bad Manners, The English Beat, Madness.....
As a devout Ska listener, one that's been listening to Ska for YEARS, one that was probably listening to Ska when you kids were still in diapers, one that has a quarter sleeve tattoo dedicated to Ska, this annoys me..... And, hey, guess what? I'm also a GIRL!
Um. I was just trying to say that MOST people if they are going to make an assumption about a band they don't know much, MOST people know Save Ferris, so they would automatically compare them to Save Ferris. Thats all I was saying.
shareNo Doubt's self titled debut album inarguably has ska and two tone roots.
I think the poster who mentioned No Doubt and Save Ferris was mentioning more mainstream ska bands with female singers. Other than The Selecter, there aren't a whole lot of other female-fronted bands that many people have heard of.
I thought you said if you saw a deer you shouldn't *beep* swerve!

FAIL.
shareSo much FAIL. Streelight's cover album is cringe worthy.
Best ska band around are the Slackers.
To the lady bitching about people knowing nothing about ska, I think they're just giving some more recent examples from the ska explosion in the late 90's. I always preferred the Dance Hall Crashers. Save Ferris is a horrible example. Man, they were terrible.
It really bugged me when Sa5m first heard ska and she said something to the effect of "It's like reggae but they made it their own." Ummmm, ska came first, babe.
Oh, Indeed!
"Ska came first, babe."
THANK YOU. EVER SO MUCH. I met a *MUSIC MAJOR*, a grad student, no less, who didn't believe me. He actually had the gall to scoff in my face when I said ska came before reggae.
"Ska came first, babe."
See that's the problem with most people they think reggae came before ska, just because reggae is the umbrella term for all Jamaican music doesn't mean it's the grand daddy of all Jamaican music that title belongs to ska. It' almost as bad as calling all Electronica/Dance music "Techno".
^^ YES :)
