re: Ska vs. ska

Ska was just good fun. Sure, you had ridiculous bands like Skankin Pickle or Mephiskapheles, but all in all, it was just good, goofy fun.

I know second wave ska fans hate third wave, as it's way too punk influenced, but Two Tone was pretty punk influenced itself, and was just as different from first wave as third wave was from it. I mean, I love the Specials and Madness, too

but man, third wave ska was just so much funny. A great entry point for a generation to get into DIY punk. Less Than Jake, Operation Ivy, Reel Big Fish... these bands weren't as scary as Millions of Dead Cops or Agnostic Front. It was a great jumping off point to get into the punk scene.

And Johnny Quest thinks we're what?!
