Ska

Ska combined elements of Caribbean mento and calypso with American jazz and rhythm and blues. It is characterized by a walking bass line, accented guitar or piano rhythms on the offbeat. In the early 1960s, ska was the dominant musical genre of Jamaica, and it was also popular with British mods. Read more…|Edit this Artist photo: La Vela Puerca

Sublime, Reel Big Fish or Catch 22... I agree, they are good. Maybe even great. But I don't like them, just like the rest of american ska punk bands (with the exception of Streetlight Manifesto)... I don't know why... maybe It's because I live in Europe? Maybe their style/lyrics are... alien to me?

People actually dislike ska? That's madness. (and not a pun.)

Even though most of the ska that I've listened to is 3rd wave ska punk stuff, I would have to agree with you. Night Boat to Cairo = definitely best ska song ever.
