Fun Stuff > BAND
Ska is inherently faulty?
roint:
They Might Be Giants is totally not ska. They're indie pop with trumpets and various other jazzy instruments like saxophone.
I like some ska... like fishbone. Although a lot of their most well-known songs like Sunless Saturday are non-ska.

i like some ska, but mostly because it is fun to listen/dance to. I've been to one of Reel Big Fish's shows and plan on going to see them again in August. I also like the Aquabats and some older Catch 22 eh.
Also, I'd never even heard of the whole "zomg only christians like ska" theory until this thread........interesting. All of my friends that like ska aren't christians, sooo.

--- Quote from: ImRonBurgundy? ---the point i'm trying to make here is that ska IS NOT shitty poppy punk bands with horn sections and retarded lyrics. it's just that those bands have somehow come to typify the genre, and it's frustrating for anyone who's really into the genre to hear it dismissed because of these shitty, stupid bands that are essentially ruining the entire genre. it would be akin to basing your opinion of all metal on Bon Jovi and Slipknot.

This is a pretty good point, so I am quoting it in its entirety.
Also, I didn't think that Fishbone would be called Ska, I'd always thought of it as a kind of heavy funk. The more you know, and all that.

Leftover Crack would seem to like ska and, well, they're DEFINITELY not Christians.

Good ska (The Specials for example) is really awesome. Good to listen to.
Bad ska is for bad kids who cant play jazz or blues.
