let's talk about ska
anybody big on ska 'round here? when i was younger i was into The Mighty Mighty Bosstones (Let's Face It) and Reel Big Fish (Turn The Radio Off) but never really got into it.
much, much later i dated this girl and one of her favorite bands was Streetlight Manifesto. those guys are a whole new animal. i fucking loved it. around that time i checked out some other albums by some ska bands i'd heard of but found very little that i felt like i could listen to alot. just recently a friend of mine told me about a band he was into when he lived in Chicago in the 90's called Skankin' Pickle. these guys are fucking awesome. i really dig it. any other ska bands you guys could suggest?

lol
edit: let me expand on that. if you think that the maturity of Reel Big Fish is equal to a two disc instrumental album, the concept and work put into Year Zero and it's accompanying websites, and the live show that NIN puts on than i think you should start your own thread about something you don't know much about.

I would recommend the English Beat. I've gotten kind of hooked on them. Their second album "Wha'ppen?" is brilliant. Start with that one. The first one "I Just Can't Stop It" is pretty good too.

This is a fair request and I promise: I will not judge any person only as a teenager, but you will constantly remind yourselves that some of my generation judges people by their race, their belief or the color of their skin, and that this is no more right than saying all teenagers are drunken dope addicts or glue sniffers.

It's derivative and unoriginal but can be fine background music.

Streetlight Manifesto is the only ska band I can listen to.
And if you like SM you should DEFINITELY check out Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution. |
