Good 1st Wave Bands?
I've been thinking of starting up a ska project, and sort of getting back to the basics. I'd like to know of some good original Jamaican ska bands I could listen to. I know of the Skatalites, but nobody else.

Wow, Im acctualy really happy to see a thread in the ska section for once! Ayway heres a bunch of bands that I really enjoy that I pulled out of my collection for you.
Desmond Dekker Laurel Aitken Toots And The Maytalls Heptones Alton Ellis Justin Hinds and The Dominos(R.I.P. Hinds) Ethipoians Derek Morgan Tommy Mccook and The Supersonics Upsetters Hope those help. There all EXTREMELY good bandxz so you shouldnt be disapointed. And if you like the skatalites all you need to do is take baisically any member(Laurel Aitken, Don Drummond, Tommy McCook, Lloyd Brevrett, Lester Sterling, Doreen Schaffer) and they pretty much all put out solo albums which aree excelent.

I've baicsically put Prince Buster on the fence. He played during the first wave but at the same time most of his stuff sounds alot more 2 tone. And the Slackers arnt an original Jamican band but they are some AWSOME first wave style ska.

So do you not like Prince Buster? It is more two tone, but it's good stuff.
