I'm learning to like ska! I look at ska bands like The Interrupters, Streetlight Manifesto, Fishbone, Hepcat, Reel Big Fish, Save Ferris, Suicide Machines, Folly, Mad Caddies and more. Who are the best ska bands? Am I really learning to like ska?

It's too bad you weren't as open-minded when it came to Japanese rock and metal as you were here. Where's the bashing of the fans and telling people they don't actually like the music, they just have "yellow fever" and claiming it's all a perverse fetish? Where's the claim this is the worst band ever and they can't play music and they have no merit? Why are we suddenly giving this thing you don't know about a chance? Why are you suddenly respectful to others?

As a streetlight guy, I'll just say what's hooked me, and put it out there that I hope I've never been too obnoxious. Their catalog is wildly diverse in all the other elements they mix with Ska at the base of it, lots of it took me multiple listens before I could say I was in love with it. Lyrically, Tomas writes very good songs, with the upside of touching a nerve at times, as depending on the day, the right song can make me go from listless to rowdy, and there's a couple songs I gotta straight up avoid unless I wanna cry. Individually, each member of that band is a beast at what they do, which leads me to say that yes, the live shows are just something you gotta be in the room for. Hard to explain, but the amount of energy exchanged between that band and the crowds at those sets is something extraordinary, which is weird, as most times I've seen them, there's little to no fluff or prompting of that crowd engagement by the band, aside from just playing their songs.

I loved Choking Victim as a young adolescent in the 2000’s, thought I was so badass, and if I listen to it now it brings me back to that feeling of summer in the Midwest, skateboarding around town, hanging out under bridges, spray painting, stealing from large corporate stores, smoking weed and procuring 40’s from my friend’s junkie mom, truly a degenerate time but as a severely depressed kid it made me feel alive. I am revolted by the thought of doing those things now and cringe at the memories of me, but that feeling listening to Choking V still provokes that youthful feeling in me. That’s why I would enjoy listening to it now even if I really disagree with some things said in the songs.

@zeroethsort1071 Год назад

Been listening to Streetlight for a little over a decade now, and it's just, IDK, fun music to listen to. I don't listen to them all that much nowadays but recently thought, maybe I don't quite like the vocalist's singing as much as I used to. I don't know that their music holds up for me in that respect. Saw them a few months or so back with my older sister who grew up listening to them though, and their live shows are amazing. Very sing-able music at a show lol. Also, my brother was into Folly back in his high school years and I couldn't /quite/ get into their vocals, but listened to a bit of them before they came down here to Florida for The Fest in Gainesville and man, a.) the vocals in person weren't as bad as I feel they are on the recordings, and 2.) it was a damn fun show. The crowd's energy was high, but not quite as violent as you'd see at a Hardcore show. Scowl opened, and the pit was honestly just more annoying to me, than was the crowd during Folly's set. I turn 30 soon and just can't deal w/ the violent energy from the crowd's anymore, though I've always been more into metal, than punk hardcore and ska.

Only a quarter of the way through and you started with two of my favourite bands. Fishbone is the greatest live act I've ever seen. Better than Rage. Better than Metallica. Better than Pantera. Better than Queens. Better than NIN. Better than Dillinger. Better than Bane. Better than Bieber. Better than Selena Gomez. Better than Converge. Fishbone mops the floor with all of them. They're a spiritual experience in the best of ways. Hepcat is flawless. They're the only show I've been to where I received an extremely enthusiastic oral pleasuring stage right while the band killed it (it was late 90's in the LBC...different time kids). Hepcat's albums are bangers all the way through. I was always a metal/hardcore/punk kid but ska shows in the 90's were some of the best. They were always fun little communities. Mike Park's 50th birthday party in SF was fun as hell too. Bunch of old people bringing their kids and enjoying a fun and wholesome time.

@laurisaarinen1126 Год назад

As Nick Hexum said, Fishbone is one of the most underrated American bands out there! But they're not all ska, they have lots of funk and even metal in the mix. Love them.

This video lived rent free in my head all day until I was able to watch it. Fishbone is probably the most influential band of the early 90s SoCal alternative scene. Janes Addition, RHCP, Mr Bungle, Sublime, No Doubt, NOFX, and many others all refer to them as one of their biggest influences. I’d love to see you deep dive into them. Ska, metal, punk, jazz, funk, soul all mashed up. There’s always a few songs for whatever mood I’m in. I don’t get 5he Streetlight Manifesto passion either. I’ve seen them Several times and they’re fine. I would’ve loved to seen you touch on Two Tone a little bit. Thanks for bass love. My shitty local band opened for a lot of these acts in the mid-90s.

I just decided at age 63 to become more acquainted with ska and ska punk. So far not disappointed. I was a Rancid fan for years but have added Save Ferris, Less Than Jake, and Reel Big Fish to my ska playlist. Listened to the Ramones and the Clash in the 80's.

@marginalhero4783 Год назад

I clicked because I saw Interrupters, Streetlight Manifesto and of course, hearing Finn rant about Ska is always fun despite me liking ska. It's a bit like enjoying getting roasted. I had never heard Fishbone before. I dig it. The Hepcat is going into traditional Ska, back out of Jamaica, like before the punk influence joined up. I don't hate it. Just wouldn't choose to listen to it. I didn't know Streetlight Manifesto has hardcore fans. I know about 10 songs and think they are fantastic. You've inspired me to look back into them and become one of those insufferable fans. Best band on this list! Folly was... alright. Don't hate it but won't be remembering it tomorrow. Choking Victim was pretty good. I'll check them out some more. Interrupters are a great band. We finally agree. Whoever said they aren't original is kind of an idiot when you start to think about what expectations are for original. They do a sound really well. What more can you ask? They have pop melodies that are polished but also without losing all the grit in the vocals. They are fun and accessible without compromising their integrity. Great band.

I started playing guitar because of Rage Against the Machine, when I was 12. I got good at guitar because of Citizen Fish, Choking Victim (I know I know...) Morning Glory, and Streetlight Manifesto. I've always liked the dirty flavors of ska - offbeat upstroked guitar just DOES IT for me.

@nicholasrainone1647 Год назад

So after this attempt to like the genre and your Pop Punk Tier List video from a couple years back, of all bands, I randomly think you should do a focused Less Than Jake video. Cause... I'm with you. They're a hugely influential band for me personally, but also maybe one of the weirdest, hardest to understand, but hugely respected and influential bands to their genre full stop from ANY genre. They're low-key hugely influential in the punk scene, they're a top tier pop-punk band, a legit skate punk band, AND one of the most successful ska-punk bands of all time, and pull off all 3 remarkably well. Plus NO-ONE seems to hate them. They're like the anti-Reel Big Fish. You mentioned that it would take way too long for you to discuss their importance in the Tier List 3 video so it would be kinda cool to see you actually break them down.

@sdp026 Год назад

Re: why people like Choking Victim - that record is catchy stripped-down skacore along the lines of Operation Ivy (though obviously nowhere near as good), with a really hilariously over-the-top and ultra-negative "smoke crack, kill cops, and worship Satan" message. The whole premise of the band is obviously super immature and gimmicky, but I think it's a pretty memorable album that stands out among ska bands at the time, though I doubt I'd give it a chance now if I hadn't already listened to it a lot back when it first came out decades ago.

@danielfutcher1764 Год назад

Like it or don't, my friend - I personally love most ska punk. I was already a fan of punk & the reggae influences of the Clash, so when I first heard Rancid's Timebomb in 1994, I was an easy convert. I love it - not always in the mood & some are better than others, but our differences spice the world properly! Even if I disagree sometimes, still love the channel mate

This video brought me back to my ska-punk days in RI where my old band would play with other great ska-punk bands in these dingy clubs to the same group of awesome ska kids. To me, ska punk represents fun and as a release from negativity. I made a lot of great friends from my ska-punk scene and have been able to see a lot of amazing bands as a result (KEEP FLYING is a great example). I understand the nerdiness may detract others, but nerds need a punk scene too ya know!

Rancid, No Doubt, Goldfinger, ska influence and style undeniably but solid bands all around with other sides equally as prominent, could make ska seem less corny/more bearable and had the decency to carry through the strength of the songwriting on its own by never really having horns or permanent horn members for the most part. Them and The Interrupters, really the only ska I like.
