    Sublime is not fucking ska.

    Huh? Do what? Are you being pedantic here? Are you looking for the more techincally correct term ska-punk? Sublime is pretty diverse, some reggae, some dub, but mostly ska.

    Wikipedia -

    Music historians typically divide the history of ska into three periods: the original Jamaican scene of the 1960s (First Wave), the English 2 Tone ska revival of the late 1970s (Second Wave) and the third wave ska movement, which started in the 1980s (Third Wave) and rose to popularity in the US in the 1990s.[6]
    Telling me Sublime is not ska is like telling me Fat Freddy's Drop isn't reggae because it's not like Bob Marley style reggae. FFD isn't technically reggae alone, it's a fusion of many genres (like a great deal of modern music), but its dominant influence is reggae and as such is easiest defined as reggae, rather than reggaedubsouljazz.

    Likewise, Sublime is ska-dominant, and as such, it's fucking ska. Have more ska, and tell me this is rock or something...

    Culture Shock - Onwards
    Citizen Fish - City On A River
    The Beat - Mirror In The Bathroom
    Desmond Dekker - Israelites
    Skatalites - Freedom Sound

    Honestly, I have Sublime - Date Rape on right now, and I'm astonished that anyone can say this isn't ska. What the fuck do you think it is?
