My two favorite ska memories:

[a] Back to the Beach

(1) The final track on Mephiskapheles album "God Loves Satan."

"Why-o why-o why-o did I leave Ohio?"

Would you like me to make you a list? :)

The mighty Fishbone ... still one of my favorite bands

[rmjwell.livejournal.com]

Still one of my favorite surreal scenes.

Uh Huh Uh Huh Uh Huh

I really think that the only wrong thing that movie did was to not make Erich Von Zipper the father of the bad guy surfer

You don't have the option of suicide...

[ericcoleman]

That's because I didn't make this quiz for my 85 year old dad

Tou'che!

[ericcoleman]

And of course I think of a better answer later ...

Just because you're someone's Dad now is no reason to act like one ...

I could see you getting into Ska-Core actually

2nd favorite album = Legend. Mr. Marley was taken too soon.

I'm not at all sure that I can answer.

I'd have to go with "both" on this one. With some CJ (see-jay?) thrown in. Yeah, definitely both.

If by "ska" you mean the real Jamaican 1960-66-ish ska, not the hyperfast 90s ska...begat by bluebeat and begatting reggae...horns on the offbeats, etc...

the Birth of a Legend disc comprising all the old Studio One stuff is a must listen.

I love the first generation stuff, I need to own more than I do.

It was the Two-Tone era that got me into it though (I would imagine it was the same with you)

I'd highly recommend the Moon Records Skarmageddon series for really good ska, with a lot of it very true to the early sounds, with some modern ska-core thrown in (which I also love)

I think of reggae as being more "authentic" but I just LIKE ska better.

[ericcoleman]

You do know that Reggae was an off-shoot of Ska ???

[jcw-da-dmg.livejournal.com]

I do NOW . . . back in the day I never paid that much attention to it . . .

That's a hard one... I like what I've heard of ska, I think if I knew it better I'd like it as much as or more than reggae.
