Help! Good ska bands? (dance, punk, reggae, cds, classics)

Sweetet_goodbyexx3 · 12-10-2004, 04:15 PM

Ok so my friend recently started going through a "ska phase" so i thought i would get her some ska cds for x-mas. but i dont really listen to ska that often so i dont know what cds to get her. I know she really likes Streetlight manifesto. SO anything like that would be great. thanks

Big D and the kids at the table.My favorite ska band ever.

Maybe you should ask her what she wants. Just a thought. But if your looking for that type of ska I would suggest Victory lablemates Catch 22 or other ska punk stuff like that. Big D, Mustard Plug, Five Iron Frenzy, Planet Smashers, Dance Hall Crashers...

mad caddies, the specials, real big fish, are some good 3rd wavers, but maybe she would like some classics like alton ellis,clancy eccles, or delroywilson

its kind of old fasion so maybe u should stick with 3rd wave ska
