^ No, I'm the ska geek. [img]tongue.gif[/img] You're preaching to the pastor. I think we've talked to each other about ska in one of those "What are you listening to?" topics.

Listening to ska 3+ years now. Wow! Someone else that has heard of Streetlight Manifesto! Next to Keasbey Nights, Everything Goes Numb has to be my favorite cd of all time, it is simply amazing, Tomas Kalonky is a friggin genius.

I would consider RBF closer to ska than punk or rock.

And did you just list the Offspring under ska...?

Some great bands you did not mention: The Hippos, the Brownies, No Doubt (self titled and the Beacon Street Collection only), Witches (Korean ska) and Mustard Plug.

Have you ever seen ska live? I had a chance to see Catch 22 in Cincinnati but I felt that I would've been setting myself up for dissapointment since it was just after they released the craptacular "Dinosaur Sounds" and Tomas and 2 of the other guys had all left and were working on their SM cd. Seeing SM live would be the most amazing thing ever, too bad they only seem to tour New Jersey.

About what was reccomended me:

I liked: Funeral Oration. This is really, really good stuff, I think I'm going to actually try and hunt down a copy of "Discography" and buy it.

Didn't like: Unseen, Leftover Crack, Undertones.

The first two seemed from what I heard mostly unaudible screaming all the way through the songs, reminding me of Slipknot... *shudders*.

And the Undertones... eh... not my bag o' tea.
