Ska

love the horns starting at 1:10 in this caddies song
 
I've loved Coyote since the first time I heard it! Mad Caddies have my favorite horn section in all of ska, I think. They truly have a unique sound and are similar to Sublime in the way that they make this perfect balance of seemingly contrasting styles- Jazz, Ska, Reggae, Dixieland, and Punk? Come the fuck on, man... Who would have thought of that?
 
This one always makes me laugh my ass off.

^Haters will hate, I guess. I know everyone's different, but please don't tell me you're one of those stereotypcial German tweakers who listen to techno or electronica and are bashing ska and reggae. I hear Dub Step is big over there, as well, which is also a descendant of Reggae.

I reserve a special spot in my heart for hating Sublime, but Operation Ivy, The Specials, and the ska stuff The Clash did are all good in my book.

All those bands are good. Even Sublime! Can I ask why you hate Sublime so much? I realize that once you hear some of the more "purist" stuff you realize Sublime is easily out-classed as far as talent goes. But, as far as incorporating different styles to make their own sound and the grittines/rawness/soul of the band, it's hard to beat (to me, anyways).

^That's true for the current era of music since the popularity for ska died (yet people still listen to Sublime). During the ska explosion in the 90's the two bands that led the frontier of bringing ska to the masses were Reel Big Fish and Save Ferris.

The Slackers are classic.

so is this:

Hepcat - Marcus Garvey

Being from Southern California, I just hate that stoner ska rock Southern California type of music. The Sublime fan base here has magnified the problem w/o a doubt. Sublime lyrics are some of the most obnoxious I've heard.

xxxyyy has pretty decent tastes - definitely not electronica/dub step....

I can understand where you're coming from. Everyone has different tastes. I'll go ahead and apologize to xxxyyy in advance if I offended you :). I've just seen and met a lot of techno tweakers from Germany. Surely we can agree skaa is better than techno??

I can undestand how a lot of people don't like the one drop/syncopated rhythms of ska and reggae after hearing traditional 4/4 timing and rock songs and liking them so much.


Actually, I do like some techno and electronica. I don't think there's not a genre I don't at least appreciate. I'm pretty open-minded to a lot of different types of music. I enjoy a bit of country, a bit of rock, some folk, blues, ska, hip hop, too many to name. I've found that if I just try to listen to one type of music I get easily bored. I also like experiencing and learning about the different cultures each genre culminates from and how and why the music comes out like it does.
