What was your first album? (bootleg, reggae, cd, vinyl)

The first reggae album I picked up was Bob Marley's Rastaman Vibration. It's a great album, but maybe not his best. It got me hooked immediately and then I went on a Bob Marley album craze where I picked up almost all of his stuff. I think got introduced to some different reggae artists (Buju Banton, Anthony B, Sizzla, etc.) and started buying them too.

What was your first album?

I don't know if Reel Big Fish count as real ska, but that was the first album I ever got that was close to ska.

I would hope so. If that is not Ska, I don't what is.

And, I am not a big fan of Ska. It's monotonous. And, I think the 30's was the era of the Big Bands. Glenn Miller Orchestra

One album I do like is from Bob and the Sagets. And, two of them and two from Kos Mos formed the Menzingers.

Who are not at all Ska. And, I love em.

peace

it's always that skanking beat with emphasis on the 2nd and 4th beat and the same old horns

same can be said of reggae - i find it pretty monotonous

i don't really find it monotous because of that, that's just the style of the genre to me. but to each his/her own, i guess. i might just be a fan of monotonous, repetitive music in general.

i can't stand most third-wave ska bands, though.

That's the important thing. You like, and it works for you. Who cares what I think? If you like it, that's all that's important. Enjoy it.

My first 3rd wave ska CD would be Five Iron Frenzy - Upbeats and Beatdowns.

Only the talented have the ability to share it with the rest of the world. Here's a thought; let's stop labeling music and fighting over what genre a certain band is, and start listening to whatever pleases our ears no matter what anyone thinks of it! ;)
