Dude, I think everyone's heard the song Superman. It was probably in reality my first Ska song but I had no idea what it was xp My first Ska song was 241 by Reel Big Fish. We were on our way to a scout trip and my friend Luke put it on in the car, and I was just blown the hell away and its been history ever since. I actually wrote a whole paper on it in 7th grade as my "Moment of Truth" paper... Still LOVE Reel Big Fish! After knowing what Ska actually was I started noticing it a lot more. Stuff like Bosstones, Goldfinger, Streetlight, and Sublime. After awhile I was thinking, "How did I not notice this before?" Great music, great style...

I remember I heard some RBF song on the radio (don't remember which one exactly) and I thought it was cool and bought the cd but I just thought it was a cool sound so I listened to it for a while and went back to my old stuff. Then after a while I started listening to Catch 22 and got into ska, which is odd cause these days I'm not a huge fan of RBF or Catch 22.

The first song for me was Superman. And the first band I was really into was the Planet Smashers.  

[Carousel Core]

My first ska band was Big D and the Kids Table. I`m new to ska...and so last March or April I had started to get into the Warped Tour community and everyone was talking about ska and since they were one of the bands playing, I looked them up and was like, OMFG THIS MUSIC IS AWESOME!

I remember a couple years ago a friend played me something by Reel Big Fish and told me a bit about ska. And for some reason, I`ve known checkers where for ska for ages, maybe that guy told me? Don`t remember. One of those random bits of info I chose to remember. 3nodding

I'm from Mexico but the first ska band I knew about was Ska-P from spain but some of the people who says that they know about the topic says that Ska-P is ska punk... they are may be right... anyway I really like Ska-P (it's the best for me)

I also like "desorden público", "panteón rococo", "la maldita vecindad" "l0s fabulosos cadillacs" "los auténticos decadentes"...

I was first introduced to the Third wave Ska. No Doubt(?),Sublime,and Reel Big Fish. also The Specials and the song One Step Beyond by Madness.
I dont know which came first for me because I was kinda young but it was one of those bands.  

[Black Dragon Disciple]

I couldn't remember for the life of my the first ska song I listened to, and I mean really listened to... and now I do.

Save Ferris's cover of Come on Eileen!

It was so awesome that I looked into ska and bought a RBF CD and a LTJ CD and then it all snowballed from there.

I believe that my first and still favorite ska band is Hepcat. Such smooth soulful island sounds. Gets me every time. It's such a tragedy that their bass player died earlier this year. I hope that they can continue making the music that I love.

My first ska band was Reel Big Fish. I listened to Turn the Radio Off a lot back then. I'd have to say Our Live Album is Better than Your Live Album or Why do they Rock so Hard? are my favorites from them now.  

[Turn the RADIO off]

My first megafavorite ska band was LTJ.
They're not my favorite now, but I still listen to them once in a while.

it's a modern look
but it's all about roots
