Sublime is the only Ska I listen to. Brad Nowell.... sad though, losing him to heroin. Ick. I can't stand people who shoot. They'll rape a blind man for a dollar.
Their cover of Scarlet Begonias is interesting... As I was walkin' down rubadub square not a chill to the wind but a nip to the air from another direction she was caught in my eye It could be an illusion but I might as well try might as well try she had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes and I knew without asking- she was into the blues she wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls I knew right away she was not like other girls like other girls Well I ain't never been right as I ain't never been wrong as heaven works out the way it does in this song (hey) 'cuz once in awhile you get shown in the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right It was the summer of love and I thank the stars above because the woman took a lovin' over me and just to gain her trust I bought a microbus because I sold off all my personal property A tight tye-dye dress she was a psychadelic mess we toured to the north, south, east, and west we sold some mushroom tea we sold some ecstasy, we sold nitrous, opium, acid, heroin, and pcp and now I hear the police comin' after me yes now I hear the police comin' after me the one scarlet with the flowers in her hair she's got the police comin' after me but there ain't nothin' wrong with the way she moves all scarlet begonias and a touch of the blues and there ain't nothin' wrong with the love that's in her eye I had to learn the hard way just to let her pass by let it pass by oh just let her pass by Whoo.. mushroom tea.
my ears have been beatin into submission by sublime...all through high school, every party, thats about 92% of all they would listen to. I cant really listen to them much anymore, just way to much... i like the specials though. Sublime covered part of "a message to you rudie" at the end of one of their songs.
Reel Big Fish kick total ass, yeah I like Ska, the local ska bands are always really fucking good here
wooo i like em too!...and the locals around here as well. i also like the aquabats, catch 22, and big d.
I like catch 22, and big D, heard an aquabats song in a movie on IFC was gonna download some but forgot... thanks for reminding me...
the aquabats aren't a ska band. have you heard charge? theyre an aqua band. dont forget the slackers, and mu330...
although there really ARE many different types of music, some are just so close to eachother...its cause people feel the need to sound more original then the band before them, even though they sound very much alike.
