AAA and Link80 are very much not “the most ska”, they are very hardcore leanleaning ska, which is really a few steps too farfar from The Specials or Toots and the Maytals to be a good introduction to ska.
AAA and Link 80 were my intro to ska in the late 90s. someone tossed 17 reasons, all fall down and question the answers in my lap and was like “this is your music, im sorry”. so skacore is just where it starts in my brain. then it skirts around the gross pit of anything tim armstrong touched and moves to 2tone, then new tone.
little surprised JER and bad opperation didnt pop up in the comments here. but i suppose it’s comment thread about ska in a shit post community, not a music specific one.
Modern Ska i’d say
Flying Raccoon Suit afterglow
We Are The Union Out Of Patience
Half Past Two Barrier For Entry
of the older stuff, a few greats i havent seen mentione yet would be
Against All Authority All Fall Down
Link 80 enough
