Deal's this. I'm depressed about growing old I need more ska to cheer me up and remind me of my youth - 1st, 2nd ,3rd wave it doesn't matter; the deal is that you pick one ska album you think people need to hear, tell us a little bit about it and why you like it and post a small picture of the cover. Feel free to discuss other people's choices but let's not let this descend into a 'ska is dead' rant.
My choice is Skafield's 'Smiling at the Tragedy' - a hoarse and raw album, exhibiting real emotion through the unique combination with hardcore undertones with great some great ska. Highlights for me include the sombre 'Empty Bottle' and awesomely upbeat 'S.P.S.T.D.S' A more reflective album, and definitely recommended. This one is definitely on the playlist for my birthday tomorrow.
