;) Search for the band 'Save Ferris'. And No Doubt is effing pop-ska. Less Than Jake, Sublime, Save Ferris and No Doubt are all pop-ska bands. If you want some of the real shiznit look up Reel Big Fish or Operation Ivy.

Oh and I see no Operation Ivy in this thread. Phail. :(

P.S. - Ska only has one 'a', 2pacchrist...

I don't like ska so much myself, but one ska song in the game would definitely mix things up a bit for the drums and guitar.

I don't even know if the bass pedal can handle all the double strokes. Might break.

Jeez, what's with all the people hating on ska?
Oh and No Doubt is pop-ska, that kid was not lying. Some ska bands that have not been mentioned but really should have been are Sublime, Big D and the Kids Table, Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra and The Toasters.

Maybe ska isn't perfect for "rock band" but you don't need to bash it, we don't go around bashing metal, in fact, I really enjoy listening to metal!

I tried to ska once. I ended up crashing into a couple of bushes and making an ass of myself.
