Since there was an accidental double post by yours truly, thought I would ask everyone who they liked?

1964

quote:

In the late 1950s, Ska emerged from the Mento sound. This style of music came about because musicians now began to play around with the sound adding a little calypso here and there as well as some American Jazz, some Rhythm and Blues (R&B) etc. Little did they know that it would have taken the Jamaican sound from Mento to what we know today as SKA!!...

List of songs in video:

Jamaican Ska - Byron Lee & The Dragonaires
Sammy Dead-O - Eric 'Monty' Morris
One Eyed Jack - Jimmy Cliff
Wash Wash - Prince Buster
Treat Me Bad - The Maytals
She Will Never Let You Down - The Maytals
So Marie - The Charmers
Rough 'N' Tough - Stranger Cole
Two Roads Before Me - Roy & Yvonne
I Don't Know - The Blues Busters
Sammy Dead-O - Byron Lee & The Dragonaires
King Of Kings - Jimmy Cliff

First, RIP Jimmy Cliff ( favorite song- Sitting In Limbo)
I am a big fan of British ska, 1978-1990:
The Specials (kings of British ska IMO)
UB 40
Madness
English Beat

I also like Burning Spear and the Mighy Mighty Boss Tones.
