2-Tone Ska, Ska Punk, 3rd Wave, Ska Jazz, you name it. Talk about it. Your favorite ska band, your favorite sub genre, your favorite album, maybe even your favorite song. Post whatever you've got to say about the genre in this thread. I've got several favorite ska bands, so I just put together a list of my favorites. The Toasters Gangster Fun Laurel Aitken Big D and the Kids Table The Aquabats The Skatastrophes Chris Murray Deal's Gone Bad Operation Ivy Bomb the Music Industry! and a lot more.

Johnstones. Aww yeah.
Bumping because I'd rather not make a new thread. I saw Big D and the Kids Table at Warped Tour yesterday. It was the best thing ever! There was a moshy part but it was all so happy. And the "skanking" thing everyone does in a circle. So much fun.
Isn't there already a thread about this?
There were a few, but they're all very old so I picked the one with the best OP to bump. :ninja:
Needs more Choking Victim.
More Big D. :love:

I'm a big fan of ska, one of our local community radio stations has a ska show at like 2am on sunday mornings. I usually don't catch the show until the next day (archives on the station's site). Here's a link to the show and it's last two airings (whatever you want to call them): [url]http://www.kdhx.org/index.php?option=com_kdhxradio&task=playlist&dothis=latest&show=Ska%27s+the+Limit&Itemid=268[/url] It's a great show, just a bad time slot. Their old one was fridays from 8pm to 10pm, but the hosts retired and a new host and time slot were implemented. Still a fantastic show. Some of my favorite bands: The Specials Reel Big Fish (going to their concert August 13th, so psyched!) Goldfinger The Toasters (2-tone army is one of my favorite songs as well) Deal's gone bad The Mighty Mighty Bosstones No Doubt (older stuff, mostly) The Suicide Machines Boyblunder: SAME HERE! That song started my passion for ska, from that game too! Also, the theme for the Nickelodeon show KABLAM! (Theme song was 2-tone army by the toasters). R.I.P. 90's Nickelodeon
