How awesome is SKA?

[loup garou]

I liked it for about 5 minutes in the early nineties. Old Mighty Mighty Bosstones is still cool from time to time though.

How does that old Propaghandi song go?

I liked it many years ago before it got "popular" and I realized it all sounded the same.
The last nail in the coffin was when ska's mainstream popularity waned, so after Squirrel Nut Zippers and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy kinda took off with some swing songs, a lot of ska bands started calling themselves swing bands but kept playing the same tired two-tone crap....and worse.

After that I hung up my black and white and never looked back.

You guys know any good ska net radio stations? I haven't listened to a lot of ska and I'd like to see how well I enjoy it. No radio stations here in southern california as far as i know, and i dont have the money to go out and buy music i don't know if i like.

2 months later, ska has not gotten any better.

Try Live365 you might find a station there.

I considered starting my own. But this one was awesome already. And threads I start have the peculiarity of never getting any replies.
