SKA: Is it just the happiest damn music you ever heard?

i think so. i have never heard a Ska song that isn't up-beat and makes me feel all good inside. i'm glad that the pop music world hasn't gotten there dirty little comercialised hands onto it and left us punks.

Give them a chance. They could come after you soon!
Resistance is futile!

....why is this in the punk section?

cos ska is bascially punk with a brass section...in my opinion.

and i love seeing live Ska music. it's the best thing to skank around with your friends. it's very up lifting music. it makes me instantly happy, listening to it.

Rocket From the Crypt is awesome, and also incorporates a lot of rock and you can tell the singer is from texas. awesome live too!!

correct. Ska is an offshoot of punk which incorporates the brass intrument sound.


exactly my point, exactly. when u hear Ska music, its just so uplifting and makes u want to skank!

never really liked ska...i can see how it would be catchy but for some reason it always bothered me....unless you count the Suicide Machines as ska...some people do and i don't know why!

I really hate ska. It really annoys me very quickly. I used to like some of it but now I can't stand it. If I hear some on the radio I'll turn it off.

In saying that, No...ska isn't the happiest music I've heard.

Ska, is happy music, but it doesnt make me happy at all; it gets on my nerves. I don't like it!

i recall hearing that ska's roots are in regae music. I don't have a music history book handy don't don't qoute me on that quite yet.

hmm...i never really thought about that. it sounds kinda right though. but to sum up it's sound, it's very much like i said, punk with a brass section.
