[cobee33]

Um 2 x votes for The Specials, most of the rest are a kind of Pop type "Ska", I can't think of any other way to describe it. The Mustard Plugs I like and Reel Big Fish but sorry, in my opinion of course, not really too many "Great " Ska bands here !

[keyban1]

[Literacola15]

I could be mistaken but isnt Streetlight Manifesto originally Catch 22?

[keyban1]

@Literacola15 Naw man but streetlight did cover Catch 22

[Literacola15]

@keyban1 My friend told me that a lot of the members left and they created Streetlight but either way they are both amazing!

[MrSmylee]

@keyban1 Tom Kalnosky, of catch 22, formed streetlight and redid keasby nights. Streetlight went on to make the best ska i've ever heard while catch 22, well, i don't really care for them, Tom's the man. He also created Bandits of the acoustic revolution, acoustic ska, most amzing:):):)

[sierraomgcazewell]

[jzh094]

streetlight manifesto is the same band as catch 22 right

[Bobalukey]

@jzh094, wrong. 

[reaperish]

@Bobalukey Not COMPLETELY wrong... They are both headed by the same guy, Tom Kalnoky. And I am pretty sure they have some of the same members.

He also was the frontman for BOTAR and Gimp.

My vote goes to The Aquabats.

[speedyhamburger]

@Bobalukey streetlight is made up of some members of catch22, but there completely different band

[RedefineObvious]

@jzh094 catch 22 broke up and if i remember correctly streetlight is kind of what is left of catch 22? correct me if im wrong

[Lunatic3807]

@RedefineObvious catch 22 almost completely broke up but was revived by 3 of the original members, and the Tom Kalnoky went on to form Streetlight

[jzh094]

@RedefineObvious Well thanks for the info.

[newgrooveformation]

well yeah but what about the bands that piss all over it, but know one knows about E.g NEWGROOVE FORMATION!!! ITS ABOUT IME WE REALISE SKA IS SURPRESSED AND THE BEST 21ST CENTURY SKA BANDS ARE UNDERGROUND!!!!! AND IN THE UK. LOL CHECK THIS SHIT OUT!!!!

[monzione]

@jzh094 naaa catch was before streetlight not all the same members thats all but tom caried all his songs from catch to slm

[cuznpedro]

@jzh094 catch is ska/reggae and punk

streetlight has one more member and their more ska and rock

different styles really, almost the same band

[OhHeyThereGuise]

@jzh094 Horribly wrong.

[cheesybeansaremean]

@jzh094 same singer

[dashizsid]

The Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution,Catch 22 and Streetlight Manifesto are pretty much the same band.

1 for Streetlight

and 1 for The Aquabats

[MrTANNERRAY]

Less than Jake, Reel Big Fish, Aquabats, streetlight manifesto, Bid D.........

[glorioso6skinhead]

311= ska? are you stupid? none of this bands are ska, there are really grate bands, but this is not ska bro....

[itssamj]

@glorioso6skinhead 311 isn't but most of these bands (Goldfinger, Aquabats. Less than Jake, Sublime, Operation Ivy, Oraskaband) are extreamly skaish ska bands

[glorioso6skinhead]

@itssamj naaa, ska is black music, and i mean that the bit, the groov of the song si black...ska is the origin of reggae, this music is what you can call punkreggae, but no ska.

[karlskiii]

@glorioso6skinhead mate srsly, what are you talking about? Ska is double time reggae, and 90% of the songs are ska. Also there isn't such thing called Punkreggae, it's Skapunkt. Ska isn't a genre, it's a subgenre, which means you can fuse it with other genres, i.e Skacore, Skapunk etc.. ska is not the origin of reggae, reggae is the origin of ska. REGGAE = HALF TIME SKA, that's a pretty good definition. Most of these songs are fast, so they're skapunk, not punkreggae.

[wkeil1981]

311 aint a ska band dude

[burnitdownMF]

goldfinger

[finhead123]

sublime is my favorite band in the world but their not a ska band so im not gonna vote for them as my favorite ska band so im gonna vote for cap down and aquabats

[MilliHAX]

they are a ska band, lmao. not JUST ska but they are considered part of the ska scene.

[finhead123]

no their reggae\skate punk\hip hop there is a difference between ska and reggae

[MilliHAX]

lmao, if you don't believe me google it, i've done many reports on it and have drummed to a majority of their songs, they're considered "ska-punk" notice the SKA portion of that.

research before next post pl0x.

[finhead123]

i have researched it and im fucking right... i can play a good majority of their song on guitar but that dosent prove shit just like it dosnt prove anything u fucking fuck tard

[MilliHAX]

wow name calling really proves your point champion.

Listen to the song date rape.

SKA

listen to the song Same in the end Ska-punk

For fuck sakes child, guitar is different considering its just little "mep" sounds.

do BETTER and more plentiful research next time, and try not to insult someone who is clearly right.

overconfidence is a vice little boy.

[finhead123]

its point less to argue with some one who is fucking stupid enough to thin same in the end is a ska song

[Aeronb1]

Im having to say Reel Big Fish And Streetlight are still my favorites besides the local scene here

[ItsSkaTV]

Its Hard to pick. They're all so good. I'll go for Aquabats and 311. They don't have as many votes as they should. Excellent video by the way.

[Zombstress]

oh! balls! no toasters?!?!!? no english beat!?!?! wtf?! no save ferris?! aww shyt, man.
