How about The Skatalites, Madness, Bosstones(not pure ska, I know, but w/e), The Specials?

I completely agree. I would love to see some Reel Big Fish, Catch 22, Streetlight Manifesto, Madd Caddies... they would be crazy fun to play! Hopefully more people will show support!

I am all for a ska pack.

I'd like to see Reel Big Fish - Beer... but that may just be because I'm usually enjoying a beer or two when I play Rock Band.

love them all.
my only concern with ska is that it would consist of only chords since the brass and woodwind instruments do the hard part, so not sure how much fun it would be. I'm sure there's some good choices out there, but thats three excellent bands you picked in general, and 3 good choices at that.

Yeah...Harmonix can release a trombone/trumpet peripheral for it...trombone player here. Seriously, I'd be cool with a ska pack.

True that a lot of ska only has chords on guitar, but there are plenty of really good songs with some more interesting guitar bits in them. Also, a ton of ska has really good bass and drum lines, not to mention super fun vocals. Besides, after El Scorcho I think it's been proven that guitar challenge is not the primary deciding factor for choosing a song.

As for which songs, I'm going to once again recommend Impression That I Get by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, and I think some Pietasters would be delicious as well. Also, Dance Hall Crashers are really good, and would give some more sweet chick vocals.

Hoobastank's early stuff was ska, that was when they spelled their name Hoobustank though. I'd be for a ska pack if we could get some of their stuff from "They Sure Don't Make Basketball Shorts Like They Used To..." album.

It would be pretty fun to play:

- Earthsick
- Foot In Your Mouth
- Karma Patrol
- Stuck Without A Voice
- Naked Jock Man
- The Mirror
- The Dance That Broke My Jaw

But that just me.
