Your favorite Ska songs?

[RSI]

Well, what are they? I've heard so much ska that was so bad it made me feel sick. I want some better ska. There is some good stuff by Reel Big Fish (Take On Me, Beer, etc), but what else? What are your suggestions?

Less Than Jake!

MAD PROPS for Reel Big FISH! I love em... don't listen to other ska though, actually.

Favorite song - "F--- Off." (You don't know what its like to be like me..)

Hehehe.. I also want your girlfriend, but i'm not bitter.

Thanks alot sammy. Now I got that friggin song in my head.
Anyway, I'm not into ska, but I like ska-core (real ska is basically reggae with horns). I used to be into the Bosstones pretty hard and have been to about 6 of their shows.
Favorite ska core would be either "Sound System" by Operation Ivy or "365 days" by the Bosstones

Not really too familiar with ska but that old popular Mighty Mighty Bosstones song. If it's ska I think the title was Impression That I Get or something.

Kinda ska sounding, NOFX - Flossing a dead horse.

My all time favorite ska group is the Supertones (or OC Supertones).....most likely they'll be mislabelled in the record store as a Christian Contemporary or even Gospel - damn music stores lump all Christian music into one tiny section. Definitely check them out. Another great group is The W's. My second favorite.

Less than Jake rules... any song by them is good. But they are more Punk than Ska...

Toasters and the Pie Tasters are a great Ska bands (I love the song 'out all night' by pie tasters... the line 'If you want to keep your place you better get down on your knees' is blurted out everytime it comes on).

Bosstones used to be good, back in the days prior to Impression.


edit: BTW, NOFX and Rancid are punk... not ska.

Not sure about Rancid, but NOFX definitely has some ska songs even if their main focus is punk.

The Specials "Enjoy Yourself"


"Hello, my name is Terry, and I'm going to enjoy myself"

 

[SnowPunk98]

Ska sucks, I belive Propagandi has a song called Ska sucks and I think Against All Authority did it too

 

Yea, 365 days by the Bosstones is great too.
Most old bosstones is great.

 

[slpaulson]

Sexy Lexi by the Distorted Penguins is my current favorite. Accually I like most of Distorted Penguins' songs.

 

[Scarpozzi]

Reel Big Fish are the best....anything they do.

 

[hevnsnt]

"My Friends" by a pimp a$$ local group Ruskabank.

 

[Flat]

"Ska Sucks" is a surprisingly good ska song.

Anyway "Doomsday" by Mephiskapheles has always been one of my favorite ska songs.

Yeah Mephiskapheles is good. I like their Bumblebee Tuna song and that first track off of that album. I forgot the name of it but it has "G-O-D D-O-G" in it.
