invisiblecola Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 who is the ultimate ska boss? (of course ignoring other heavyweights such as goldfinger, rx bandits, and iv4k) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pictureofdorian Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 ehh i dont know who the aquabats are... so i would have to say less than jake because i dont know the other one and ltj are the shite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganny McVagflaps Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 The best ska band ever are the Specials. All the rest of 'em are beyotches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jont Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I'm going to be more lenient than 2, but can I just say that Godfinger are an embaresment onto themselves. Less than Jake are fun at times but I could never imagine myself taking them seriously. I don't know the other dudes, so unless you add an option for the Specials I'm going to null my vote.

Reverend Jax Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Less than Jake are fun at times but I could never imagine myself taking them seriously. Do you take any ska band seriously? I'm a big fan of the the rx bandits and reel big fish, but my favorite #1 ska band has to be Catch 22. Not that they did anything great after Keasbey Night, but Keasbey Nights is the kind of album that justifies a whoel genre's existance. I also dig Save Ferris.

The NZA Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I only know that one cover by Ferris. What Junker played me off Keasby was cool, but...am i the only one missin the poll-part of this poll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalHeart Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I'm assuming it was open opinion ps I never really got big into the ska scene, but LTJ is pretty good live. Lots of energy, and interesting characters. I think anyone you see live is going to make you like them more, though perhaps. RBF was good live too.

King of Snake Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 LTJ are great but all the yank ska bands aren't even fit to polish Madness's spats, Specials alla way... "Let's now stand for our national anthem...'This town, is coming like a ghost town' " God bless Dermot Morgan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Fluffakins Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Granted Less than Jake is a really good band, but come on, The Aquabats think they're super heroes. When it comes to being creative and fun you've gotta go with the bats. Their song "chemical bomb" is a perfect example, its a lounge type sounding song but the lyrics include "chemical bomb, chemical bomb, eyes melt, skin explodes, everybody's dead" I was lucky enough to get to see them in concert just recently and I now claim it as the best show I've been to.

The NZA Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 i just learned a bit of these superheroic aquabats. what songs should i check out? shit, this is fight club, not music for the masses....uh, what songs should i check out, cunt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senshik Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Aquabats are seriously the most awesomest ska band. The sing about the most random shit ever, it's awesome. Less than jake is cool too, but I'll have to go with my superheros. The specials are cool, Catch 22 is another really good ska band. Reel big fish hasn't come out with anything good lately... if not nothing at all? Mustrad plug is pretty talented methinks, definitely check them out... OH, introduction: Hi everyone! Nice to meet you all. You seem like an awesome bunch! Let the good times roll! CHEERS! Btw, Nick Listen to this song called "super rad" or "pool party" or "the cat with two heads" or one of my personal favorites "PIZZA PARTY!"

JunkerSeed Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I love me some less than jake. The aquabats are really funny and creative, and they're a very good band, but song for song they just don't match up musically IMO. Oh, and it was probably a mistake asking "who is the ultimate ska boss" because noone would ever call either of these bands the best ska band ever. Hell LTJ is one of my favorite bands and I wouldn't call them the best ska band ever. That probably goes to Operation Ivy IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Fluffakins Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 You should really check out certain albums, as opposed to songs. Their first album "Return of the aquabats" is great, then they're third one "Aquabats VS. The floating eye of death!", my personal fave. And they recently dropped a new one called "charge!", its also excellent. Songs: "Lover's of loving love" "playdough" "nerd alert" "fashion zombies" "stuck in a movie" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
