Ska!
geoff:
My suggestion is don't.
But anyway. I dig the Ninjas. It's a shame Stu left to join The Know How. He was a rad dude.
Sturge:
Big D are the nicest people in the world, seen em a couple of times, the last time we ended bringing them to a local club and getting ridiculously drunk and talked rubbish for ages!
exliontamer:
Yeah, anyone who saw Big D and didn't enjoy themselves clearly has much greater issues than just that...
And captainawesome, read my post above. Reggae never really influenced ska, in fact they ceased to even be the same genre of music after the 1980s. If you want to listen to traditional ska I'd check out anything on Trojan records. They have these awesome boxed sets you can buy for like 25 bucks at most Tower records and Virgin locations. They are 3 CDs per box. They collect all different movements of ska, like dub, dancehall, reggae, two tone, etc. Very good stuff and very educational.

Yes, you do! :D
The Specials kicked ass! They were the perfect band to break out from that era if you follow the skinhead family tree. I'm not so sure I like any post-Specials ska... I guess the MMBT's had some good stuff going for a while... then all of the white-boy American ska groups got big for a couple of minutes and then suddenly, the late-90s ska boom ended. My taste is probably a bit different because when it comes to Jamaican music, I'd much prefer to listen to earlier ska/roots/dub etc.
Didn't the Specials do a song with Rancid a few years ago?

Neville provided guest vocals on the song "Hooligans" from Life Won't Wait.
