It's true though... People get it wrong all the time and it boils my piss
Well yes there are obvious differences, but a fair few bands/singers did ska and rocksteady so it's easy to see why people got and get mixed up.
aye.
i downloaded some of flash forward, but wasn't as impressed.
isn't he in the skatalites these days?
I know, and many went on to make roots and dub too. But I still think people are lazy
Ska and rocksteady are so different - more different in some ways (primarily tempo) than rocksteady and reggae

I think it's a bit unfair to label people who are just listening and enjoying the music to call them l;azy, but yes there is a vast difference.
I think you're missing the smilies strewn across my posts. I'm not being entirely serious (not ENTIRELY..

Mate, you're a big bloke but I'd chin you for saying that, that's fightin' talk
Is it now.....

I love jungle, man. Roots is probably my favourite genre, although I do like electronica and alt / prog rock but jungle just makes me grin like the fool that I am
that's a bit good that
i'd like to add tenor saw to the list

I've mentioned him before on ska/rocksteady threads but there's a bloke who has (or did have; I don't live there any more) a stall on the market in East Dulwich on Saturdays who sells shedloads of this kind of stuff. I knew cock all except the Trojan compilations before I met him but he gave me loads of 'if you like that you'll like this' kind of advice. Even let me swap them back if I didn't like his recommendations. Top bloke

That's the problem with Newcastle. Nowt like that. May have the best northern soul pub in the country but nothing like that.

Doesn't that record shop off the Bigg Market sell a load of ska? About halfway down the Market on the left hand side if you're facing the river. (Can't remember the name of it but it's on that street with all the clothes shops...Then again, it's been 12 years since I lived there so it's probably an art installation now or something).

i think his name annoys me. very un-rootsy.

I think the problem is that a lot of people own 'ska' compilations that contain all the obvious 2 Tone stuff, but also tracks like Liquidator, Skinhead Moonstomp, Return of Django etc. It's the compilers who are lazy rather than the casual listener, who probably assumes that 'ska' is an all-encompassing term for Jamaican music from the mid-1960s to early 1970s (and the late 1970s revival), rather than a distinct musical style.
