Yea I like Gangsters too, prefer Nite Klub off their first album though... (.... I won't dance in a, pub like this, all the, girls are slags, and the beer takes just like p*ss).
Pressure Drop - Toots and The Maytals
Double Barrel - Dave and Ansell Collins
Judge Not - Bob Marley (yes Ska!)
This is Ska - Bad Manners
Three Minute Hero - The Selector
Shaking Up Orange Street - Prince Buster
Mirror In The Bathroom - The Beat
One Step Beyond - Prince Buster
I'm In The Mood For Love - Lord Tanamo
No way in any order or even 10% complete but a selection of Ska music I like.
Notice no Madness? Southern softy jessies, who apart form the early stuff (Baggy Trousers era) were crap.
The lads and lasses who have been subjected to my musical tastes on the minibus will vouch for eclectic taste in music
