Ska is great music that was formed in Jamacia, this was done by conbining amercian jazz with the traditional jamacian beat.
There is 3 waves, Jamacian ska (1st wave), two-tone (2nd wave), and Ameriacn ska (3rd wave). Throughout the years ska has greatly changed. some examples of ska bands are: the Skatilites, and Toots and the Maytals (Jamacian ska), the Specials, and the Madness (two-tone), Big D and the Table Kids, and Catch 22.

Ska is one of the greatest music ever created, and if you dislike it you suck because some of your favorite bands probably origonated form ska.

An awesome feel good type of music that everyone loves. It makes you want to skank all over the place. It always reminds me of the first Tony Hawk Pro Skater game for N64.
"Police Truck" by the Dead Kennedys is a great ska song.
Bands like Reel Big Fish, Streetlight Manifesto, and Catch 22 are popular in the ska scene today.

The greatest type of music ever, why listen to lame music when you can listen to ska. Extreme upbeatness, horns and checkered awsomeness. All other music dwindles in the shadow of ska.

A style of music revolving around horns, guitar, bass, drums, and a vocalist. Chordal structure is that of upbeats or power chords. Some ska bands have trumpets like Reel Big Fish, some have trombones and saxes, like Mighty Mighty Bosstones, and some have two trombones and a French horn, like Sold for Less. Skanking is the dancing done to such music, and is characterized by kicking those legs and punching the air and flailing.
