^^ ^^
just got round to hearing Mighty Mighty Bosstones...
i havent heard those two singles since they were released, got heaps of airplay here, i didnt like them much then and still dont(theyre passable though)...
same as you on the vocals MH....
to me Ska vocals have to have that carribean sound/accent to be authentic...
to me, the best Ska bands were:
The Specials aka Special AKA
The Beat (british beat)
Madness
Desmond Dekker
bits of Bad Manners music was ok also...
real Ska died in the early 1980s IMO
