You got to have a listen to the early rocksteady jamaican stuff

Desmond Dekker, Toots and the Maytals, and Prince Buster

Prince Buster is great - tracks like 'Al Capone','Ten Commandments', 'Hard Man Fe Dead'

good stuff

I just put 'Ska' in the audio search in Kazaa - comes up with a fair bit. There's a lot of tracks from the Ska/Punk covers album - Ive heard some of these (couldnt tell you the name of the bands though) - they are real high energy Ska, a lot of fun.

please can someone explain what ska music is. I am aware it is a punky sorta thing and I actually met Spunge who apparantly are Ska, but still I wonder what exactly it is defined as. Sorry for my sillyness I just don't know.

Reel Big Fish, Mustard Plug, Catch 22 are a few good ones.

Less Than Jake, The Skatalites, Madness, The Planet Smashers, The Hippos, Mad Caddies, Me First & The Gimme Gimmes, Reel Big Fish (earlier stuff is better), Suburban Rhythm

Rocket From The Crypt, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Voodoo Glow Skulls are kind of "ska-core" i spose

Btw.. do you have some Bad Manners tracks? I have 2 cd's but none of them contain the tracks i want!

1. In the court of King Ska fa (i don't know the real name of the track!)
2. Ne ne na na na nu nu..

do you have these track Bender? (cd rips?) i have Ne ne na na nu nu as a vinyl rip (but very bad!)
I even played in a ska band myself in 1980.... that was very cool! We even had our own groupies! Hehehehehe! :D
