[smartguy240]

NO YOU ARE LOOKING AT IT FOR THE WORNG POINT OF VIEW!!!

Ska = Punk + trumpets + trombones + saxes

[Joey]

[Joey]

Have you tried de Heideroosjes? I've suggested them a couple of times in this topic, but seeing that you haven't yet reacted on them, makes me think you haven't tried them out yet. If you want good punk, this's what you should look for (again, I'm repeating myself ::) )

• Toy Dolls
• Ramones (they're good live, but tame in the studio)
• Clash (same thing)
• Sex Pistols
• De Heideroosjes
• Madness (crossing of punk and ska)

Concearning good ska: try these (from the second on, they're copied from the best ska-cd I know of ;D )

• The Dill Brothers (best Dutch ska, singing in English)
• Blaster Master (FIN) "Pocket" <----
• The Busters (D) "Let's talk about" <---- ;D
• Skuba (BR) "O tempo vai passar"
• Spitfire (RUS) "From bad to worse"
• The Skalatones (S) "Y 2 (S)K(A)" <----
• The Allniters (AUS) "Nowhere fast"
• Bluekilla (D) Sunshine Reggae (Skinhead Reggae)"
• Rude Rich & The Highnotes (NL) "One live" <---- Bob Marleyish
• Top Cats (GB) "Dr. Cash" <---- Sounds more like Rocksteady (cfr. Desmond Dekker (Decker?))
• Blascore (D) "Guatemala"
• Ejectes (F) "Fight back" <----
• Too Hot (GB)"Sunshine holiday"
• Rollings (J) "Skanon" <----
• The Porkers (AUS) "Prost!" <----
• Skaos (D) "South Africa" <----
• The Ventilators (CH) "Comin' back to you"
• Athena (TR) "Devam... bo <s with the attached thingy of ?>ver"
• The Babyshakers (Feat. Mark Foggo) (NL) "Sugarlover"
• Aktus (UA) "Harvest Psalm"
• Dr. Cyos (PL) "Bella Donna" <----
• Bad Manners (GB) "Millennium knees up" <----

  Edit: Songs (second names, after nationality), 'cause those opinions're on one song :-\

[Joey]

sorry about that. i havent tried them yet. i will sometime. thanks.

The Casualties are kinda good, but there singing is so bad. they just scream and yell and stuff.

[smartguy240]

Seems like you forgot to list Five Iron Frenzy and Gold Finger

[Joey]

i havent hearn Five Iron Frenzy. are they good?

[Joey]

btw: i have heard gold finger. i dont really like them.

[smartguy240]

YES FIVE IRON FRENZY ROCKS

They are REALLY good...If you like anything about ska at all...you will love this band...maybe it is just me though?

Oh well...Goldfinger is a popular band in ska right now...i myself dont really listen to them...I just know that they are good

[Kon-Tiki]

Five Iron Frenzy becomes boring really fast. All the things I've summed up earlier aren't ;D . FIF also sounds more like most MTV-bands than a ska-band should.

Iron Maiden is awesome! i have found a lot of good songs from them. they are really good. you should listen to them.
