[Archive] Ska

Ingrown:

Most of the stuff bout music on this forum always ends up with metal, what about ska? just me? Whats your favorite band/s?

Kera foehunter:

I like maddness and fishbone but i tend to favior Reggae. where Bob marley is king!!

Ingrown:

Yeh i can get the Bob marley, but what about the Specials, English beat, Bad manners…

GRNDL:

I grew up on Ska, but its never been “a big thing” for me. That slot was filled with metal and punk. Notable mentions though: Madness, Bad Manners, English Beat, some Mr. Bungle. Recently: Mighty Bosstones, Skaface.

I’m waiting for the Ska-black metal crossover revolution. :slight_smile:

For some reason I want to mention “Skindred” but I guess they’re not classified as Ska… /shrug

I was told that skindrid is like death metal reggae type music. Sounds fairly wrong.

What is ska anyway?

Perv:

I like all sorts from The Kinks to Richie Hawtin Techno, I like the Specials, Message to U Rudy is me fave. Madness are great. Dont think I’ve met anyone who doesnt like Ska stuff, it may not be that popular but everyone can stand it I think

Not a metal fan but like Metallicas old stuff

Kera foehunter:

Reel big fish , mighty mighty bosstones, alaska, go jimmy go, Ska-p, 3 minute warning, change up, cumshot, deal´s gone bad, Le braghe court, no authority, sadies doll, Ska-wars, the toasters, tim armstrong. All awesome bands and if ya like Ska all of them are worth checking out. Probably forgot a few but cant keep of em in my head.

GRNDL:

Ska-core?

Metal-Ska fusion? Or something other-ska fusion? Punk?

/shrug

Ingrown:

Ska-metal fusion with double bass pedal, generally a fair bit faster too, still fairly smooth though. Does it for me

Vintagephreak:

Did anyone else here attend Madness’ reunion concert (Madstock) at Finsbury Park in '92? Martin

Canix:
