This song introduced me to The Toasters and is still my favorite, but Voodoo Glow Skulls (look them up. They're not very well known but are great) introduced me to ska in general.
The early toasters stuff sound is great. Like the recrimnations EP pool shark album and thrill me up LP. After that they turned into a yeti's cartoon band. Horrible!
I must admit bands like the Toasters got me into ska, but now looking back I really couldn't stand them. But I must give them credit for introducing me to this genre in my teens. Now I can't get enough of the classic sound and history and the more traditional bands playing today.
If you like the classics, why can't you stand these guys anymore? It's pretty much just British 2-Tone but with a bit more R&B and a bit less reggae. Besides, they're classics themselves! Been around way longer than all those Reel Big Fish/Planet Smashers hacks who made ska little more than a novelty to most people.
I love you for saying that! I can not stand Streetlight Manifesto. They make one song about a man contemplating suicide and all the little girls buy that shit up. Ska is not supposed to be sad. It's joyful!
>:( Streetlight is amazing. You cant classify a genre by what its "supposed" to be. Music is meant to be innovated. So Streetlight has added a much needed serious aspect after the dominating frat boy attitudes of RBF and Sublime. Not to mention Streetlight has one of the best horn sections and really quality music. The best artists are always the innovators, are you gonna tell Beck to play normal alternative like he should?
Hey man don't go bashing Streetlight for their style. First of all, they're not a ska band, they were a 3rd wave ska band back when most of them were in Catch 22. But streetlight is something totally different. Secondly, they're amazing, and i've seen them live 3 times, That being said, I agree that the classics are great and mostly better than the new stuff, but I wouldn't call ska a novelty nowadays. I think it just seems that way because, well, nobody really cares about ska anymore :(
Haha, only ONE dislike. C'mon people, have you ever seen anything like that?
