Hey, anyone have any fun ska or punk band recommendations? I've got lots of folk, country, rock, and indie pop, but I've recently taken a liking to what I think is the ska sound. All I know now is Reel Big Fish, Goldfinger, and sort of Rancid (do they even count? Someone told me to give them a listen and I like them, but I don't know if it counts as ska). If you could explain to me what quality would characterize a band/song as ska, that'd be nice too (other than what wiki tells me is a "walking bass line" one the "upbeat" -- no idea what that means because technical musical terms are alien to me).
