Poll: Ska You Say?

[JoshasorousRex]

I have been really getting into ska lately and I don't know man people who know what it is. I asked my freinds if they know what Ska is and most of them look at me and go "What?"

So have you ever heard of Ska? Like or not?

Also what are some good Ska bands that I can find at store like HMV?

Whats a ska?

Ohh it a music type apparently. I wouldn't know, I don't listen to much music.

Ore Ska Band? Would that count? If so then yes, very much.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Streetlight Manifesto is quickly becoming a favorite band of mine. And, yes, they are Ska

Sure is a lot of pop-punk in this thread.

[Summerstorm]

Yes - Some songs are ok, but it is not really my style.

 

[Flying Dagger]

I DEFINITELY DID NOT SAY IT

I was personally invited to go to a ska concert by the lead singer of The Skints and i turned it down.
