A band that began the genre of "ska-core". Excellent band, most people just suck too much dick to realize how amazing they are, but for some reason, still rock out to Linkin Park.
All the BossToneS albums are amazing.

Get the Mighty Mighty BossToneS mug.One of (if not the) greatest ska bands ever. Famous for their song "The Impression That I Get" the bosstones brought good music back to the charts. Sadly they ended their career and now radio and tv is being infested with emo, pop, and dirty rap.
