Upbeat and lively form of music that originated in Jamaica during the 1950's. Although ever popular in Jamaica, ska went through a series of revivials. Two Tone or Second Wave ska originated in BRITAIN when the punk music of the white working class was combined with the ska of black immigrants. Third Wave ska originated in America as an offshoot of punk music, owing much to Two Tone ska from BRITAIN.
two tone ska music is from BRITAIN, B-R-I-T-A-I-N, not america. Anyone who says otherwise is stupid.

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.
