So my boyfriend has been sending me some ska music, which I just love - but both of our collections are somewhat lacking.
Can any of you reccomend some good ska bands?

but the music sucks because the keyboards don't have the cold/mechanical sound they had but a wannabe techno sound that it's pathetic for Rammstein standars.

I just started listening to their stuff today. Wow! They are quite awesome!


Edit: And guess who I'm now going to see on June 12th.

Wait so you're letting something that happened 10 years ago ruin your quality of life? What are you, America? :psyduck:

The Specials are my one stop shop for good ska.

Some of Sublime if you aren't looking for straight ska.

Jesus, don't say Reel Big Fish are ska- you'll turn away people from it for life! A trumpet doesn't turn your punk into ska, kids.

True Ska:

Prince Buster
The Specials
Desmond Decker
Madness
Toots And The Maytals
Bad Manners
The Upsetters
The Beat
The Selecter

And hellsyeah the Aquabats

I think my fave ones have all been mentioned but here are some I didn't see.

The Mad Caddies
The Toasters
The Flatliners
Rx Bandits
The planet Smashers
Catch 22

and If you can possibly find The Makeshift Heroes and The Johnstones they are fukin A.   The makeshift  are chillin, laid back, and almost old skool but sound awesome different.  The Johnstones are just whack.  I think they both have music on Myspace.
