"Like every genre of music there is a lot of fluff that can drown out the very best.
I'd start simple with the foundations:
1)Bob Marley - Destiny: Rare Ska Sides from Studio One
2)Desmond Dekker- "The Original Rude Boy" (or just a…"

"Switch the "or" to "and" in your original post and I'll accept it. And I like ska-punk, for the most part."

- About Me:
- I'm 19, I spend a lot of my time listening to music and writing, I didn't really devote myself to any one genre until I started listening to ska about a year ago and I am sad to say that I still know VERY little about the genre. I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere Ohio for college, and no one where I am has even really heard of ska, so I'm just looking for some new music, people to talk to about it, etc.
A couple of my friends and I are trying to start an all female ska band on campus, it's not going terribly because there is a severe lack of interest, but we're having a good time trying!

Kaya said… - im not much of an expert of third wave but i can recommend 2tone and skinhead reggae. phyllis dillon, alton ellis, laurel aitken, the skatalites, the english beat, the specials, the selector are a good place to start. try looking into trojan records box sets. they have skinhead reggae, 2tone, ska, rude boy box sets. some of the tracks are rubbish but overall good :) hope that helped

2-Tone Kid said… - depends on what kind of ska you're looking for. There's Ska-core which is like hardcore punk rock with some saxophones and trumpets. Theres classic ska. Two-tone, and third-wave. two of my all time favorite ska bands that I do not see on your list The Scoflaws, and The Pietasters. Check em out.
