I`m sorry but i hate the direction ska is going. I love the actual original ska. I love the stuff from the 60`s from Jamaica, I even love the 2Tone ska which started mainly in the UK (The Specials/Madness/Selector etc). My problem with ska is the third wave of ska bands who add too much punk and not enough ska. Rock with trumpets IS NOT SKA. Its like these bands threw out the offbeat rhythm of ska and then started playing. Until someone with a bit of rhythm picks up a saxaphone and gets world famous playing ska, ska will always be awful

I agree, but make that a trombone instead of a sax.
