I dunno if I'm a "fan" but I like some Ska songs. My tastes are very picky, so like any other catagory of music I don't like all of them, but I do like some of the songs I've heard.

I dont mind ska. very choosy about the type of ska though.

Theres a local band here who I enjoy the music of, but I dont like any of the heavier rocky sorts of ska...

Yeah, I fall into that "some ska" category, too. Mostly older stuff, but then again, I am mostly older.

I liked that song "date rape story." (no idea who plays it).

Its a catchy, dark, sordid tale with a good ending.

Date Rape was By Sublime.

And also the only real SKA Band I can handle.

No Doubt makes me wanna gouge out my eyeballs.

Hummm....

I think of Madness when I think of Ska, but I was in high school at the time

Interesting that it's becoming popular again

I never really thought of Sublime when I think ska..

More like The Specials, Hepcat, The Toasters, Skatalites, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Dance Hall Crashers just to pull a few from the ol' iPod.

Ska, ska ska!
Got a pretty good collection spanning the 1970s-present. More into the standard older stuff (Selector, Special A.K.A.) but like some of the newer stuff and ska variants too (Operation Ivy, Hepcat, The Gadjits)

Big time fan - having grown up in Australia through the 80's.. brings back fond memories of cruising on my lil Lambretta motorscooter with 20 rear vision mirrors hanging off it.
Harrington Jacket , and of course the fine 2 tone shoes.
Sensible haircut and a footload of bovva for the skins that ran around Sydney at the time..

As for me, I was mainly into The Jam, Madness, and the Specials.

Siggy.

Yep.

I'm especially fond of Fishbone. I still consider them ska, even though their music ranges all the way into non-religious gospel. Also a fan of Madness, The Specials, Less Than Jake, The Jam.. Something about that ska beat makes me bounce, and bouncing is nice.

Went to see Ednaswap down in LA a few years ago, and the two opening acts supposed to be local unknowns. First band was so-so, second band turned out to be Fishbone doing a sneak attack concert. People were bouncing and jumping so much I thought the building was going to come down. It was great. Never been to another concert with so much energy before or since.

Party at Ground Zero!

Yes! Even though it's kind of out of style at the moment, I still love it. I could listen to the first Dance Hall Crashers disc until it melts. I'm still discovering ska bands I haven't heard before, like Mobtown.

I like the [Toasters, Specials, Op Ivy, DHC, Mobtown, Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution, Isaac Green & the Skalars, Bim Skala Bim, Catch 22 (Keasby Nights is good, went downhill after the singer left), Highball Holiday, Let's Go Bowling, Skatalites, and others I can't think of.
