Posted May 28, 200619 yr http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/82/Ordinary_Boys.jpg what ska pop records would you put in a collection for an ordinary boys fan? starting with Toots and the Maytals 'Do the Reggay' what others are you gonna suggest?
May 28, 200619 yr The Specials of course! They basically tried to rip them off for most of the songs on Brassbound :lol: Plus they covered Little Bitch for Over The Counter Culture AND Terry Hall came onstage to sing it at one of the gigs I went to. :D
May 28, 200619 yr It's probably not serious ska but... Mighty Mighty Bosstones 'Impression That I Get' is a lot of fun
May 28, 200619 yr anything from the 'two tone' era, 79-81. selector, beat, bad manners, madness, to name but a few..
June 1, 200619 yr The Beat - Mirror in the bathroom Madness - One step beyond Selecter - Missing words / On my radio The Specials - everything especially Gangsters and Ghost Town
June 9, 200619 yr People need to listen to: The Selector The Specials The Bodysnatchers The Beat To get a good idea of some commericial ska stuff. Also, TOB have got so many influences really.. mostly Tamla Motown if you want to pinpoint influences. Edited June 9, 200619 yr by Ms Presto
