Recommended Ska bands?

[EvilBenson]

Okay, just to get this out there,
I don't know if this is the right place to post.
I just thought ska fell under punk?

Anyway, anybody have any recommended ska bands for me?
I already really like:
-Streetlight Manifesto
-Catch 22
-Big D and the Kids Table
-Operation Ivy
-Goldfinger
-Gimp
-Less Than Jake
-Reel Big Fish
-Mighty Mighty Bosstones
-The Specials
As you can see, I don't know that many ska bands.
Can you guys recommend any other ska bands I might like based upon the bands I listed?

Thanks alot in advance!

Suburban Kings is a pretty awesome ska band, definitely worth checking out!

[mph4ever]

anyone heard much about the mad caddies or the upgrades?

[EvilBenson]

I have heard of the Mad Caddies! Good stuff!

And thank you all again for posting :D

[suspect device]

yeah, i listened to some of their stuff. they are a little polished

[dei]

You shouldn't be listening to third wave ska. Only first and second waves.

[lukeskywalkertakingadump3]

You shouldn't be listening to third wave ska. Only first and second waves.

Yeah, listen to this guy, he's Christian :rolleyes: . Listen to Choking Victim.

[dei]

What the **** does that have to do with anything?

[suspect device]

impersonation of fairy tale characters is no longer appreicated. k.

[boundbytransience]

This is ska thread.
Not religious debate thread.

Third wave ska isn't bad.

[dei]

I find most third wave ska bands annoyingly immature.

[team_racket]

Lightyear

Lightyear

Lightyear

[suspect device]

i'm going to see the specials in a couple of weeks. dammers aint there but hall is. should be good

give me some years/bands that you associate with different waves. 1st wave was when? 2nd? 3rd is now

[illmitch]

1st wave = 60s
the skatalites, the maytals, desmond dekker, the paragons

2nd wave (two-tone) = early 80s
the specials, bad manners, bodysnatchers, madness

3rd wave i dont' care about and dont know anything about

[suspect device]

yeah, thats what i was thinking. so really third wave is a mess by comparison for the purist. got to see desmond dekker a couple of years ago. it was excellent.

[dei]

You can't forget Prince Buster, man.

[doki]

tokyo ska paradise orchestra

[MrConeman]

For the love of God please listen to the Slackers, they're amazing, and I don't even normally like ska beyond them and The Specials.

Third wave band just as commendable as any first wave band imo.

[suspect device]

[Black Ink]

Can't believe Hepkat hasn't been mentioned.

[dei]

He was a **** poster.

[EvilBenson]

Much appreciated everybody! Thanks again!

[Goodld]

Any one heard the new big d?

[unusedprogram46]

No one has mentioned Voodoo Glow Skulls? What?? Firme is their best album. And don't forget Skankin' Pickle.

[Aaron]

I find most third wave ska bands annoyingly immature.
123. Madness is probably the only ska band I'd admit to listening to.

[nevertoolate]

VOODOO GLOW SKULLS
