You should feel good about The Clash...

The Clash played ska! Rudie Can't Fail is an excellent ska song from them- more traditional than the second wave stuff hitting the scene at the time.

Traditional can be very good at times.  I like Rudie Can't Fail, listening to it now.  I like it more than a lot of the modern ska I've heard, anyway.  I'm still rather undecided on my opinion of ska, though, so I'm going to keep my trap shut.

If you want a good example of 2nd wave ska, listen to some stuff by the Specials and Madness. Specifically listen to One Step Beyond, A Message to You, Rudy (a 1st wave cover) and Little Bitch, all 3 some of the best ska songs ever recorded in my opinion- A Message To You, Rudy, is very traditional as well. Two Tone ska is the best for skanking if you ask me, although I personally like 3rd wave better.

Oh hello, I just listened to the entire B  is for B-Sides album while playing Yoshi's Island.  I like this album, it makes me happy to listen to.

Then go listen to Hello Rockview if you haven't- best ska album ever released in my opinion, and Less than Jake's finest work, needless to say.

[Shift Key]

I've been listening to Streetlight Manifesto for the last two days. "Everything Goes Numb" is a brillaint album and again is second to Rockview on my favourite ska albums of all time. The title track, 'Point/Counterpoint' and 'A Better Place, A Better Time' are my favourite songs, but I've gone two days without skipping a track I must find some Catch 22 stuff now, because Tomas' vocals are like some sort of drug.
Check it out guys.
