Episode 24

If you were to go to Yahoo! Answers and pose the question, "What are some good ska bands?", you would get the same, nauseating responses, over and over and over again. "Less Than Jake! "Catch-22!" "Streetlight Manifesto!" "Save Ferris!" "Sublime!!!" Clearly, the youth of America who claim to be into ska music have no sense of where ska came from or that the rest of the world has moved on from the "Third Wave" of the 1990's. Hopefully, this "Best of WSR" episode will serve as a friendly reminder of where ska and reggae came from, and where it's going. 01. Byron Lee & The Dragonaires - Frankenstein 02.
