Toots and The Maytals.

Re: Like Reggae? Listen to Ska!
 

man you brought back some memories. my old band toured with the slackers, and played many shows with almost all the bands you mentioned.

Snow...remember that guy, what a joke.

Barrington Levi - more old school
Buju Banton - newer
Chaka Demus & Pliers - middle
Eddie Minnis - more callipso style but still good

Reggae changed a lot when rap started getting popular so it depends on what your looking for. Who whould believe Ganster Reggae could even exist, but it does (see mad cobra and the ghetto boys) too funny.

Re: Like Reggae? Listen to Ska!
 

Pilfers are the [censored]. I first heard them a while ago when my friends used to do Reel Big Fish's webpage. Also, any band on the Moon Ska label is worth listening too. Skavoovie and the Epitones and Toasters are a couple of my favorites.

Re: Like Reggae? Listen to Ska!
 

What band were you in? I probably saw you guys.

Re: Like Reggae? Listen to Ska!
 

Skavoovie and the Epitones were a phenomenal band. Eugene on the keys really rocked. Plus, how many bands make use of a euphonium!

The Boston ska scene was pretty good indeed a few years back.

I really like Peter Tosh and Yellowman.

Re: Like Reggae? Listen to Ska!
 

Ah yes.... Regatta 69. I have their Prime Time record. Cool!

Re: Like Reggae? Listen to Ska!
 

prime time was a terrible record unfortunately. like most of the bands you mentioned, we were much better live. I still enjoy the slackers, and I was sick of ska a long time ago [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. they're great.
