A lot of the bands you say are not rock and roll do not claim to be.

Don’t get me wrong, they’re total shit, but they never said they were rock and roll.

dude, i see desmond dekker and the maytals here

if you want to get REALLY pissed about ska music, listen to streetlight manifesto and contemplate how humanity took us from dekker and toots to the clash to THIS

The specials’ pressure drop cover was wonderful, though, i think, but maybe i’m just young.

… and that wins the thread.

Mr Johnson was the catalyst that started it all.

I was in the Ska business for years and years. I dispise “3rd wave” Ska.

Pressure Drop is such an excellent song, everyone covers it well. It has been my favorite song since I was 7 years old. Of all the covers though, I like this one the best:

YouTube- The Clash - Pressure Drop [Single]
