Ska is Dead Pack - Suggestions / Videos

[SkaIsDead]

Browsing through my CD's I found a large collection of my Ska CD's from the 90's... Listening to a few of them, I've decided that there are a lot of decent songs worthy of Rock Band. Well, here are my suggestions. Beside each band I will put what I believe the band's strongest instrument is, though it may be different in difficulty...

Reel Big Fish (All around, guitar)- Beer, Party Down
http://youtube.com/watch?v=gql9220Qon8 - Beer (all around fun)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=x_zfJbteqBY - Party Down

Save Ferris (Vocal)- Come on Eileen, Lies, I Know (I couldn't find a video / sound file for it)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=1F5Ye-g9i2U - Come on Eileen
http://youtube.com/watch?v=wG190yBZUWA - Lies

Streetlight Manifesto (Bass / Drums)- Everything Went Numb, If And When We Rise Again (no vid)
http://www.purevolume.com/streetlightmanifesto - Everything Went Numb

Operation Ivy (All)- Sound System, Bad Town
http://youtube.com/watch?v=MyvB8Sz8gjY - Sound System
http://youtube.com/watch?v=_bKbHN7kQ0k - Bad Town

Fishbone (Bass, Vocals)- Sunless Saturday, Everyday Sunshine, Ma and Pa
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Yi5TBF4uloY - Sunless Saturday
http://youtube.com/watch?v=uNkCtQo3Z0c - Everyday Sunshine
http://youtube.com/watch?v=3PprwMBdooY - Ma and Pa

Sublime (Guitar) - What I Got, Pawn Shop

There you have it... Feel free to add to the list folks.

I'd rather see some 2Tone era tracks like the Specials, the Selecter or the English Beat.

YAY Beer!


Apparently just yay beer! is too short of a post so I'm adding this line

[leftover_crack]

operation ivy (whole album)
**** world trade - leftover crack(album)
no gods, no managers - choking victim (whole album)
gypsy punks: underdog world strike - gogol boredello (album)
myths legends and other amazing adventures - the aquabats (album)
washed up and through the ringer - catch 22

[VelvetDown27]

Superman by Goldfinger

Ditto on Sublime.

No Toasters? "Don't Let the Bastards Grind You Down" and "2-Tone Army" would be nice.

As I said, feel free to add to it. <3

Streetlight Manifesto Pack:
1. Forty Days
2. The Receiving End of it All
3. The Big Sleep

Though Forty Days wouldn't actually translate all that well to this game.

The Dead Milkmen Pack (I've always considered them ska)
1. If You Love Somebody Set them on Fire
2. Punk Rock Girl
3. The Thing that Only Ate Hippies

And then pretty much anything from choking victim or leftover crack.

Aquabats - "The Story of Nothing" & "Theme Song" & "Giant Robot Birdhead"

Less Than Jake - "Dopeman" & "All My Best Friends are Metalheads" & "Help Save the Youth of America From Exploding"

[SkaIsDead]

Nice suggestion! Here would be a final pack in my eyes... 8 songs because ska songs are on average shorter.

Reel Big Fish - Beer
Aquabats - Theme Song
Less Than Jake - I'm a Dude
Fishbone - Ma and Pa
Streetlight Manifesto - Big Sleep
Goldfinger - Superman
Save Ferris - I Know
Sublime - What I Got

All ska songs would be great, but we need to keep the gameplay diverse and gear it towards a larger crowd.

Bump.

Bump.
