[crassisdead]

@andybear0402 You act as if I care.

[Kreazel909]

so much anger on one little video o_o

[Humanpunk77]

Crassisdead? Funny that I saw Steve Ignorant live last year he wasn't dead. Do you know who he is ;)

[crassisdead]

@Humanpunk77 Yes and I don't give a fuck that you saw him. As if that makes you cool for seeing him...

[Kreedyboy]

The Best of Czech ska punk: Žádnej Stres - festival

[crosseyedmonkee]

Goddamn I got a Jason gay faggot Derulo commercial before this

[crassisdead]

@crosseyedmonkee :(

[MrRik338]

@crosseyedmonkee homophobic? i dont like him to tho xD 

[vancouvercanucks23]

catch 22 made some pretty amazing stuff same as streetlight even though the lead singer was in both bands

[wiggin2000]

they have to be my favorite!

[SomeDudesFishing]

Now i know that these guys are good but wtf no Aquabats?

[blackserenade24]

i hate less than jake, the mighty mighty bosstones, and reel big fish, but im not gonna be a dick about it. and for all of you guys who ARE being dicks about it, read the fucking title. it says "MY top ten favorite ska punk bands", not "YOUR top ten favorite ska punk bands". this guy didn't make the video for you, he made it for his own fun. so if ur gonna be dicks, don't do it on here cuz i doubt he cares what you have to say

[xerke]

Does anyone know the song on this video

watch?v=3kkQdjPauts

not trolling, and does anyone know song similar to that one?

[Matthew1776]

leningrad is the best ska band ever!!!!

[MrSka67]

@shanesuperboy3 you dick super boy ? speak english if your going to comment

[MrSka67]

your a yank,poor bugger enough said

[dseeff]

Anyone interested in hearing new music from ex-Fishbone member Chris Dowd's new project The Ultra Infidels, type "The Ultra Infidels" and "Stop!" into youtube...

[ananamies1and2]

dont forget the Bailifs c:

[MusicXisXii]

Not about the music, but I've noticed that a lot of these bands have a 'token black kid' xD

[crassisdead]

@MusicXisXii Ska bands are known to be the most accepting and nice kinds of bands there are, so that makes sense.

[MusicXisXii]

@crassisdead Yeah, I don't mean because he's black, I mean because there's only ONE! Ha xD

[TheJerksTC]

@MusicXisXii Not surprising. Especially since ska is from Jamiaca, but it is still kind of funny.

[Maglioso]

@MusicXisXii Nothing personal, but you are projecting your own pseudo-negrosity.

[MusicXisXii]

@Maglioso Haha, how so?

[TillyBallent]

you have a good music style

[biscuits439]

the only reason why we like youtube is cause there no commecial why did they put them up its annyoeing what ever love the music ")

[skanktiludie]

skankin pickle is one of my favorite ska bands too, but gas in my car isnt their best song i think make a change and silly willy are better, and i also think in my opinion that catch 22 is slightly better than streetlight manifesto, but still this is a very cool list

[VEGANSEATMEAT69]

rancid = operation ivy

[MrSka67]

why cant you accept not everyone likes your taste,i was into ska while you was swiming in your dads ball bag 2nd wave ska (to me was the best),English ska,like most things you yanks caught on years later and bastardised it

[crassisdead]

@MrSka67 cool story bro.

[ShanieSuperBoy]

@MrSka67 there is absolutely no such thing as american ska,the only true ska i have ever heard is from the uk,and jamaica of course.this sounds more like drunken monkey frat boy crap.

SHARP for life.

[crassisdead]

@ShanieSuperBoy Nobody fucking cares. You're blocked.

[sithconsole]

@ShanieSuperBoy gay british people.....

[MrSka67]

i have been into ska since the 80's and this u.s.ska just doesn't do it.

[crassisdead]

@MrSka67 Alright, cool. Go on another video then.

[travometric]

Listen to operation ivy if you haven't already.

[crassisdead]

@travometric Lol, they're in my video.

[TheSkewt]

Madness and catch 22 should have at least got a wee mention :P

[10eric20]

Streetlight sucks. Op Ivy should have been number one.

[crassisdead]

@10eric20 Yeah, well they aren't.

[mrkburrke11]

SUBLIME, SLIGHTLY STOOPID, 311 ???!!!?!?!?!

[crassisdead]

@mrkburrke11 lololol you're funny.

[TomerGuttmanS]

Real Big Fish !!!!

[phatnatyouknow]

You gotta have Madness on here !!!

[crassisdead]

Just to be clear, it was not my choice to put these stupid unskippable ads in this video. Believe me, if I could take them down, I definitely would.

[hazyphotos]

No Rancid???

[crassisdead]

@hazyphotos Just because they wrote a couple ska songs doesn't mean they're a ska band.

[DeathandBlack666]

I want a body massage.

[CoreyL11]

I know this is gonna makeme sound all "mainstream" but Sublime's gotta be somewhere on here

[Youtubican]

I knew this would have Less Than Jake, Reel Big Fish, and Streetlight Manifesto on here :P

[StraightPunkEdge93]

fuck yeah, Chicago ska. Slapstick are sick

[TheMeltdown23]

im liking that doomsday track :-))

[iambored456]

Where can I download that slapstick song? I can't find it anywhere!

[crassisdead]

@iambored456 I'll just message you a link for their discography.

[TheJoniscool]

311?

[phisrocks]

I'm am not an elitist or anything, but wheres Five Iron Frenzy? In my opinion they are also a great Ska band...maybe check them out?

[mwnicholas1]

@crassisdead

I hvae that same promo photo of them from like 20 years ago, classic.

[crassisdead]

@mwnicholas1 Sweet dude!

[crassisdead]

Goddamnit. Since when did this video have unskippable ads? That's some bullshit.

[mwnicholas1]

You must be from the Bay Area if you remember Skankin' Pickle. Great memories!

[DoughnutStudios]

I think every one just needs to shut the fuck up and listen to the music.

[Chuck0426]

NO SUBLIME?!?!?!

[TheSystem1990]

No Sublime?? :l

[JMort95]

#4 = best band ever

[sarahmonsteriszero]

Fuck yes, Less Than Jake. c:

'Cept Goldfinger should be in here for your list to fully satisfy me.

[mostaryankidyouknow]

Man, no Aquabats. Whatevs great lineup. I'd give a finger to see them all in one show.

[Humanpunk77]

Do you even know what and where ska came from? Thankfully America didn't invent it even if they brought out some of this crap theres no chance you'd be able to go into somewhere in England or Europe and claim this is ska. You'd be laughed out of the place

[IAmSoTight1]

No Doubt!

[TrollandDie]

I especially like number 9.

The reason being I'm a metal fan who looked this up to get a bit more diverse. :)

[crassisdead]

@TrollandDie Yeah Slapstick is great. Definitely one of the most legendary ska bands. Anyways, if you're a metal fan, then you might like skacore bands like Voodoo Glow Skulls and Voodoo Glow Skulls.

[Humanpunk77]

@crassisdead That line there "Definitely one of the most legendary ska bands" will you go and swing for it. Legendary ska singers/bands here you go Toot and the Maytals,Upsetters,Prince Buster,Laurel Aitken,Lord Tanamo,The Skatalites,Desmond Dekker plus the Specials,early Msdness,Bad Manners,The Beat,The Selecter. you are joking me with this man grow up

[crassisdead]

@Humanpunk77 Yes, I will, just to piss elitist fuckheads like you off. You obviously don't listen to ska/punk, so you have no right to say anything about those bands. Get off your high horse and learn to accept that your taste in music isn't better than everybody else's.

[Humanpunk77]

@crassisdead I'm well into my punk and ska but only 2 bands(Bosstones and OP Ivy) out of that lot. I like NOFX,Rancid and Bad Religion out of the Epitaph bands. Most modern stuff like you have listed is repetitive and a pain in the hole. I'm not elitist and I'm glad you changed it to ska punk. Crass now theres a punk band a proper punk band. The best American punk was 1980-86 Bad Brains,Poison Idea,Minor Threat

[crassisdead]

@Humanpunk77 I changed it to ska punk so people like you won't whine over a fucking video. I still consider this ska, don't get the wrong idea. You can take your idea of punk and ska and shove it up your ass. I like the bands you listed, but your opinion is no better than mine, so quit acting like it is. You can listen to music you like, and I can listen to mine. Plus, I made this and my top punk bands video 2 and a half years ago, so I'd change a lot of the bands in the videos if I could.

[jairon94maiden]

hey man, the bands you said are very good

[jairon94maiden]

hey man, the bands you said are very good (Y)

[jairon94maiden]

@Humanpunk77 hey man, the bands you said are very good

[RougeDeSang888]

People let me tell you 'bout my best friend!!

[xskarchax]

sorrry !!! this is not S K A is skapunk 2 diferent scenes

this is original ska

skatalites

laurel aitken

madness

selecter

special

bad manners

and many more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[crassisdead]

@xskarchax Maybe not first wave ska, but ska nonetheless.

[xskarchax]

@crassisdead ok i don t is not really explain much but

the two-tone ska is a direct consequence of jamaican ska and skinhead reggae use the clothes and call them selves rude boys special madness bad manners selecters etc... and no diferent scenes becouse in the 2 tone played jamaican musicians and mix the culture. like rico rodriguez play with specials. was an expansion of the first and in a 2 tone or revival or jamaican ska always the same people skins rudes mods

[ReggaePunkyParty]

@xskarchax

Skatalites ok, Laurel ok but Madness, Selecters...??I don't think so. As you precise, its a different scene called revival ska or two tone.

There is no ska in that video.

[crassisdead]

@ReggaePunkyParty This is ska, deal with it, butthurt idiot.

[Humanpunk77]

@crassisdead This is not ska stop being a idiot. This is American crap. 2-tone bands were ska this is skacore. I like Op Ivy and Bosstones but wouldn't dare pretend they are ska cos they aren'y

[crassisdead]

@Humanpunk77 God, you are such an ignorant fuck. Go listen to your ska, and I'll listen to my ska.

[Humanpunk77]

@crassisdead I'll listen to ska you'll pretend this is ska there's a huge difference. If you'd thrown in the toasters or Bim Ska la Bim or other AMERICAN SKA bands I wouldn't mind but not one of these bands are ska and they'd readily admit it. Start with the 60's Trojan stuff and educate yourself son.

[crassisdead]

@Humanpunk77 Just because you're full of yourself and you think you're wonderful doesn't mean that this isn't ska. I actually like The Toaster and Bim Skala Bim, but you aren't gonna convince me that this isn't ska. It may not be traditional ska, but it's ska nonetheless. Ska... ska punk...third wave ska.... doesn't fucking matter.

[Humanpunk77]

@crassisdead It does matter cos this isn't ska. most of these bands are under the punk banner. You really don't have a bog whats going on. Start with a brief history of ska on the right hand side there LOL. I'm into proper ska you are into fake 3rd wave bollox

[Humanpunk77]

@crassisdead But its not 3rd wave that was the Toasters,Bim Ska la Bim the Trojans,Potato 5, Even No Doubt but not these bands. Bosstones are punk,Op Ivy are punk all off these bands are punk END of story

[iammrmanager]

@Humanpunk77 troll

[Humanpunk77]

@iammrmanager I'm just educating people who don't understand the finer points of ska. If thats a troll well mr manager who cares

[crassisdead]

@Humanpunk77 How about you let people listen to what they want and you listen to what you want.

[Humanpunk77]

@crassisdead How about you stop calling this shite 3rd wave ska which I already told you was Toasters,Donkey Show,Riffs,Bim Ska La Bim. I'm answering the other guys troll comment you should have stayed out of it you dope.

[crassisdead]

@Humanpunk77 I'll call it whatever the fuck I want, asshole.

[Humanpunk77]

@crassisdead Well you are wrong ya thick

[crassisdead]

@Humanpunk77 I don't give a fuck, you elitist prick.

[Humanpunk77]

@crassisdead No i'm pointing out to your stupid Yank brain that you haven't a clue. Even the username for fucks sake

[crassisdead]

@Humanpunk77 "LOOK AT ME, I LIKE TO ARGUE TO PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET ABOUT GENRES OF MUSIC. LOL I'M SO COOL." Seriously, shut the fuck up and go bitch on somebody else's video.

[ElDuderino909]

Tell me.

Why isn't The Specials in here?

[skunkworks951]

i love the backmask on Hate Yer State, its hilarious haha

[assortedfish]

[skinheadregga69]

[gio1386vanni]

[hateretah]

i like choking victim the most oh thats right BECAUSE ITS NOT SKA ITS PUNK!!!

PUNKS NOT DEAD BUT PEOPLE WHO WANT IT DEAD SHOULD DIE!!!!!

[jrack13]

im not a huge fan of street light

[Dem640]

stza looks so fuckin weird in the picture you have

[crassisdead]

@Dem640 He looks weird in any picture!

[Dem640]

@crassisdead well, weirder

[deathrebel1]

Thanks for the list. Went to many a Slapstick concert and even saw their last official show at the Pit in Rockford. Saw both them and MU330 as often as I could. Midwest Ska pride (or something like that) Superfantastic.

[crassisdead]

@deathrebel1 Wow, I'd give anything to see Slapstick.

[jrack13]

@crassisdead i would rather see MU330 (probly cause i live in st louis)

[MrNickGir]

awesome list!

[zeromaniac96]

Ska isnt dead.

its just sleeping cuz it partys harder than anyone else and has a super-hangover.

[Bentompvp]

Early gold finger isnt in there??

[JoeAverage000]

I hate Frostwire. They don't have any ska music really.

[monzione]

hail skavoovie!

[JGsk8s]

Mustard Plug!!!

[ZDude24084]

Aaron just shat himself

[crassisdead]

@ZDude24084 Haha he sure did!

[rtfggj]

where can i download "There's a metalhead in the parking lot" by Slapstick?

[TheWolfryder]

its alright saying that there are different forms of ska but once you start watering it down it is so different from whats its suppose to be it just isnt the same

[crassisdead]

@TheWolfryder This isn't watered down. People mistake "watered down" for "I just don't like this"

[tacomunch3r]

great taste in ska punk man, glad to see choking v made your list.

i suggest No Service Project, they're one of my favs :D

[crassisdead]

@tacomunch3r Thanks dude! No Service Project is awesome.

[signormai]

where fucking are the "voodoo glow skulls"?

[Cheloclues]

SEKTA CORE

[TheStevenSurette]

Awesome bands. They get me pumped full of energy. I LOVE SKA MUSIC!

[Broekspijpje]

OK let's put it this way: Real ska (2-tone) are bands like The Toasters, Madness, Mark Foggo etc.

But ska has different influences like skapunk, skacore etc (Third Wave). It's still ska, just another kind of ska. So stop the bullshitting, this is ska as well, wether you like it or not.

And to be an complete asshole :P Real ska are bands we've probably never heard of. (Jamaicans in since the war ended). If I should believe wikipedia :)

KInd regards

[KaptainKwasnik]

@Broekspijpje Damn straight, I love ska especially third wave like Reel Big Fish, Mustard Plug, Streetlight, Catch 22, Big and the Kids Table but you gotta remember these bands were inspired by the 2 tone skanks and then before that the 1st wave and it was created from Jamaican folk and Reggae, so like Mustard Plug says in Skank by numbers "Finally we'd like to stop and thank our roots,

respect the Specials, Maytals, and Toots!"

[TwiG6yHxCPunK]

mmm.. esto es Ska Punk.. el Ska Roots es como el de The Specials, The Skatalites, Laurel Aitken.. y es triste que ninguno de estos interpretes este en listas como estas.. pero si esta es una lista de un top 10 de canciones Ska Punk Californianas... te lo paso ! xD

[crassisdead]

@TwiG6yHxCPunK I still consider it ska.

[TwiG6yHxCPunK]

@crassisdead Yeah!! Ska en todas sus facetas nunca dejara de ser Ska !! y eso es respetable !!... Stay Rude !! =)

[DestrullasOzkar]

@TwiG6yHxCPunK que es eso del ska roots, se llama ska tradicional o de primera eraque son los skatalites, laurel aitken prince buster etc y ska revival tambien conocido como 2 tone por la disuquera que son los specials, madness etc

[TwiG6yHxCPunK]

@DestrullasOzkar bueno, aqui lo conocemos como Ska Roots... no trate de rebajar a nada ni a nadie jaja.. solo kise hacer un comentario ! esta bien acepto tu comentario y normal pej !! no hay porq discutirlo jeje, salud hermano !!

[teragreg]

[crassisdead]

@teragreg Yes they are.

[teragreg]

@crassisdead k? ska is shit like the specials

[crassisdead]

@teragreg And so is this.

[MADNESSRULE2K8]

@crassisdead You Are Both Right...This is American SkaPunk While Madness And D Specials Etc Are SkaBrit Pop..Personaly Would Like ToSee A Mixture In This Vidbut Still Its A Cool VidXxxxxxxx

[Broekspijpje]

@teragreg

What's ska acording yo you? This is ska and ska punk.

[crassisdead]

@Broekspijpje Haha thanks. It's good to see another person on here who's not a closed minded asshole.

[YourParentsRDivorced]

LMAO who wants a body massage? i actually get the reference.

[crassisdead]

@YourParentsRDivorced Haha I was hoping at least some people would.

[GuestOfGregoryHouse]

this aint proper ska

[crassisdead]

@GuestOfGregoryHouse Yes it is.

[GuestOfGregoryHouse]

@crassisdead british ska is the best tho

[crassisdead]

@GuestOfGregoryHouse If that's what you think, then great.

MAD CADDIES - NO HOPE

[lukie117]

Hey what's this button for.

[crassisdead]

@lukie117 Dadaladadadadadada - - DOOMSDAY!

[franticgiraffe]

@crassisdead hey mate some good music here but you gotta check out the roots cant believe Prince Buster isnt in your top 10 at all. Hope you check out bands from the first two eras and hope they make you smile have a good one and keep skanking :)

[crassisdead]

@erect89 Removed your comment AND blocked AND reported you for spamming. Howzit feel bitch?

[phatnatyouknow]

My favorite ones are Madness,Sublime,No Doubt you know all the stuff hardly no one listens to anymore>

[greatestxgift]

@phatnatyouknow Obvious troll is obvious

[rosiegirl001]

MU330<3<3<3

RBF sucks dick though.

[crassisdead]

@rosiegirl001 Eh, you can't deny they have some catchy songs. Some of the suck though. Plus, they kicked ass when I saw them live.

[rosiegirl001]

@crassisdead Miley Cyrus has some catchy songs too, but that doesnt make her good :/ But oh well. To each their own i guess.

[M15CY]

you have streetlight manfiesto, but not the specials???????

streetlight does not consider themselves a ska band.

nor do they consider themselves fans of ska.

tomas used to listen to the bosstones but hasent listened to ska in years.

the specials define two tone ska.....

[crassisdead]

@M15CY Yes but they obviously are a ska band.
