Gangsters by The Specials is a reworked cover of Al Capone by Prince Buster. Guns of Navarone is a Skatalites cover, too.

here's my top-30 covers (alphabetically by band, no order yet) of the ones that i have on my itunes. any omissions that need to be on there and what you'd replace for them? i'd like to get a few more two-tone stuff on there but i'm really way more of a third-wave guy. i like two-tone but i really don't know much about it outside of the specials and the like

So I was reading this article on the Specials from the NY Times and noticed something interesting in this paragraph (emphasis mine):quote:Now, a year after a successful 30th-anniversary tour in which six of the seven original Specials barnstormed across Britain for the first time since 1980, the band is coming to the United States for one of its highest-profile gigs yet, a featured spot on April 16 at the influential Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, Calif. That gig, a handful of club dates (the group plays two sold-out shows at Terminal 5 in New York on April 20 and 21), an appearance on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” and a free Aug. 22 show at Summerstage are the Specials’ first American shows since two grueling tours here in 1980 and 1981 exposed personal and musical rifts that continue to this day. This is the first news I've heard of a Summerstage show. Guess New Yorkers luck out again.

Alright so check this out, my friend hooked me up with this german punk/ska band the other night. Most of the time I have no idea what they're saying but it's OK because the music is catchy as all hell. The best song?

I'm not, I love Evildoers Beware, Pray for Mojo and Big Daddy Multitude. But In Black and White is easily my favorite album of theirs.

Miscellaneous_T posted:The Reel Big Fish cover was actually a pretty straightforward cover of this version that Op Ivy recorded. I love this thread. Also, it's not that great, but No Doubt did a cover of The Clash's "Hateful." This was before Return of Saturn, so it was still ska-ish.

aricoarena posted:Have you listened to Good Luck, or The Gypsy Hill ep? Because those were good albums. How it Goes is not very good, and also was mixed/mastered worse than their previous albums, like worse than the albums my friends made using the closet as a studio - I'm still shocked that that is how they chose to release that album. Everything after that is utter poo poo. Well let me just come right out and say it, I think Strictly Rude is a loving lame album just like "Monkeys for Nothing and the Chimps for Free" where a ska band says "hey we're going to do a REAL SKA record for the kids!!!!" and its a pandering soulless travesty with a creamy vanilla center. How It Goes has some bad songs, but only because they produced 20 tracks and should have cut it down to 13-14. I guess if you count their split EP, Strictly Rude/Thrash was the same length as How it Goes too, and maybe they should have just not divided the two. Maybe the only way they can guarantee a good song is to just throw in every idea, good or bad. Fluent in Stroll, for example, is one very long bad idea. I also can't stand anything they did before Gypsy Hill either because it all sounds like it's being played through a pillow, imo

big d isn't really an album band, i think their real appeal is when they're seen live. i agree with the sound quality of the albums but i actualy liked strictly rude save for a few songs. fluent in stroll, i didn't even bother

The Slackers - Tin Tin Deo Hepcat - Skaravan and Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra - Tetris Any Ska Band - Any song by Oingo Boingo are easily my favorite covers. What made me sad is that the Oingo Boingo tribute album only really had Suburban Legends doing On the Outside, the Aquabats doing Controller, and RxBandits doing Grey Matter as good stuff. Especially when Skankin Pickle did an awesome version of Violent Love on the Green Album, which is full of all sorts of other covers. Gates of Steel and Pay to Cum so gooood.

Streetlight Manifesto really needs to record a studio version of Point/Keasbey Nights/Counterpoint and put it on iTunes, Victory Records be damned. Having to listen to live versions of it or badly stitched-together versions by guys on Youtube sucks.

Taj is leaving for a northeast tour in like 2 days, so if you're close to one of our shows come on out: Apr 16 2010 6:00P Funk’n Waffles Syracuse, New York Apr 17 2010 7:00P Fat Baby Lower East Side Manhattan, New York 21+ Apr 18 7:00P Punk Rock House Show Boston, Massachusetts Apr 21 2010 12:00P The Edmond Town Hall Gym Newtown, Connecticut Apr 22 2010 9:00P Cafe Nine NEW HAVEN, Connecticut 21+ Apr 23 2010 7:00P Bushwick Music Studios BROOKLYN, New York The 17 and 22 shows are 21+, everything else is all ages. If you're in Boston just PM me for house show details, we're playing with the Boston Jolly Pirates. I wish we were playing more places, but turns out I'm lovely at booking tours. Whoops. We might do another northeast run before the end of the year, but the weather gets all lovely and we lose motivation to go places we might get snowed in. Maybe we'll just go to Texas instead.
