      The perfect ska song to cover is Johnny Too Bad by The Slickers. I know other people performed it including the legend Jimmy Cliff but for a first time experience my vote goes to the Slickers.

      I love it all, but especially when the "crossbreeding" between Jamaican and British came. Stomp! :) The band Bad Manners is right there with "Lip up fatty". But there are more, and some where to come later. Reel big fish is nice (they play a lot of covers in Ska-mode) and of course Madness and of course The Toasters (especially "Don´t let the bastards get you down"). Happy music, makes me feel fine and that I can give most of the world the finger! :D

    Look at the tested and think "There but for the grace go I"

    That was the 90's... the alternative genre was the greatest genre because it included a bit of everything. The same radio station would follow it with Tool... then play Pearl Jam.... the 90's truly were the last great hoorah in music. Other than a few bands... it's been downhill since.

I mean our Grandfather fought WWII. Civil rights happened before us. We lived in the age of skateboards, Nintendo, and live was easy mode if you did volunteer for desert storm. But there was that feeling if the world challenged us we could step up...knock on wood. Great song.

    Oh shit! We’re getting into Ska?! We’re getting into Ska?!? Another great song by them is “Someday I suppose.” That really put them on the map. Some other great ska bands, The Pietasters “Girl Take it Easy” The Specials (if you want to back a bit) “A message to you” Mustard Plug “You” The Slackers “Wasted Days” Tons more.

    I agree completely that horns add a depth to music.

    Yeeeeeessssss!! So more Ska!!! There was a brief moment in the late 90s where Ska made a huge comeback and all was right with the world! Need to do some Reel Big Fish, Goldfinger, and Save Ferris!

    This song is not only fun but has a great message without smacking you in the head about it

    Ska, in many ways, encapsulates the best of rock music. It has the rebelliousness of Punk, with the scope of big band music. It could be played in full blown suits, or cut of shorts coupled with neon green dreds. It was super inclusive and progressive. I think because of the horn elements, it also attracted a different type of musician that raise the quality of the genre overall. Music was better, when ska was a thing.

    I miss when you used to talk about lyrics and give your interpretation. That was always my favorite part because you're a smart guy and often opened a new angle to look at songs from.

      I’m not a smart guy. I just play one on TV.
