It's too bad you weren't as open-minded when it came to Japanese rock and metal as you were here. Where's the bashing of the fans and telling people they don't actually like the music, they just have "yellow fever" and claiming it's all a perverse fetish? Where's the claim this is the worst band ever and they can't play music and they have no merit? Why are we suddenly giving this thing you don't know about a chance? Why are you suddenly respectful to others?

As a streetlight guy, I'll just say what's hooked me, and put it out there that I hope I've never been too obnoxious. Their catalog is wildly diverse in all the other elements they mix with Ska at the base of it, lots of it took me multiple listens before I could say I was in love with it. Lyrically, Tomas writes very good songs, with the upside of touching a nerve at times, as depending on the day, the right song can make me go from listless to rowdy, and there's a couple songs I gotta straight up avoid unless I wanna cry. Individually, each member of that band is a beast at what they do, which leads me to say that yes, the live shows are just something you gotta be in the room for. Hard to explain, but the amount of energy exchanged between that band and the crowds at those sets is something extraordinary, which is weird, as most times I've seen them, there's little to no fluff or prompting of that crowd engagement by the band, aside from just playing their songs.

Been listening to Streetlight for a little over a decade now, and it's just, IDK, fun music to listen to.

I don't know that their music holds up for me in that respect. Saw them a few months or so back with my older sister who grew up listening to them though, and their live shows are amazing. Very sing-able music at a show lol. Also, my brother was into Folly back in his high school years and I couldn't /quite/ get into their vocals, but listened to a bit of them before they came down here to Florida for The Fest in Gainesville and man, a.) the vocals in person weren't as bad as I feel they are on the recordings, and 2.) it was a damn fun show. The crowd's energy was high, but not quite as violent as you'd see at a Hardcore show. Scowl opened, and the pit was honestly just more annoying to me, than was the crowd during Folly's set. I turn 30 soon and just can't deal w/ the violent energy from the crowd's anymore, though I've always been more into metal, than punk hardcore and ska.

Rancid, No Doubt, Goldfinger, ska influence and style undeniably but solid bands all around with other sides equally as prominent, could make ska seem less corny/more bearable and had the decency to carry through the strength of the songwriting on its own by never really having horns or permanent horn members for the most part.

They're the only show I've been to where I received an extremely enthusiastic oral pleasuring stage right while the band killed it (it was late 90's in the LBC...different time kids).

Unyielding conditioning isn't gonna blow anyone's mind for sure, but you're missing alot of context on this band. They stand alone in the ska/punk genre, theyre actually a very eclectic band based in ska, punk, jazz, prog, and funk. Listening to a Fishbone album is a journey through reggae, soul, funk, and all out rock. Live performances from the 80s/early 90's are legendary. Most 3rd wave ska bands and some 90's alt rock bands cite them as an influence. Their body of work since the mid 80's is incredibly powerful. Check out Sunless Saturday, Servitude, Chim Chim's Badass Revenge, Alcoholic, Everyday Sunshine. The Live versions are even better. Peace, Love, and Fishbone!

As a Brit, there's loads of bands you've missed out on like madness, bad manners, the specials etc

second wave/2 Tone was a great scene with a few really great bands and some more really good ones

🤣 I should have watched your video when it got out yesterday. I spent the day trying to remember the name of Mindrot but my brain just couln't figured it out. A bit late but thanks for that refresher. 🤪

Why do you torture us like this Finn? Is this a "misery loves company" situation where if you suffer then we must also? 😂 Congrats on 100k too!

Ska peaked with The Specials... Ghost Town has become a haunting prophecy.

This video lived rent free in my head all day until I was able to watch it. Fishbone is probably the most influential band of the early 90s SoCal alternative scene. Janes Addition, RHCP, Mr Bungle, Sublime, No Doubt, NOFX, and many others all refer to them as one of their biggest influences. I’d love to see you deep dive into them. Ska, metal, punk, jazz, funk, soul all mashed up. There’s always a few songs for whatever mood I’m in. I don’t get 5he Streetlight Manifesto passion either. I’ve seen them Several times and they’re fine. I would’ve loved to seen you touch on Two Tone a little bit. Thanks for bass love. My shitty local band opened for a lot of these acts in the mid-90s.

You made my ska-punk loving soul happy with Save Farris in this ❤

I’ve never been into ska. However, my one favorites is Streetlight Manifesto. Absolutely great in concert or driving to work. Discovered them at warped tour one year and got hooked.

I'll never be able to understand why Finn doesn't like Ska. It has all the ingredients he loves. Popular accessibility Unique fashion choices Positive attitude

I clicked because I saw Interrupters, Streetlight Manifesto and of course, hearing Finn rant about Ska is always fun despite me liking ska. It's a bit like enjoying getting roasted. I had never heard Fishbone before. I dig it. The Hepcat is going into traditional Ska, back out of Jamaica, like before the punk influence joined up. I don't hate it. Just wouldn't choose to listen to it. I didn't know Streetlight Manifesto has hardcore fans. I know about 10 songs and think they are fantastic. You've inspired me to look back into them and become one of those insufferable fans. Best band on this list! Folly was... alright. Don't hate it but won't be remembering it tomorrow. Choking Victim was pretty good. I'll check them out some more. Interrupters are a great band. We finally agree. Whoever said they aren't original is kind of an idiot when you start to think about what expectations are for original. They do a sound really well. What more can you ask? They have pop melodies that are polished but also without losing all the grit in the vocals. They are fun and accessible without compromising their integrity. Great band.

streetlight is just stupid good, you could listen to only them and not miss much when it comes to ska

Folly used to come down to Orlando and play with the our local skacore bands like every other month. I think I saw every band you mentioned in this video when I was in high school. The shows were definitely a good time, but most the CD’s I was listening to low key were pop punk.

For Fishbobne I would've gone with "Lyin' Ass Bitch" instead. That one's an undeniable Ska classic.

Fishbone deserves their own video, they have so much to offer

Finn McSKAnty!

Ska is FUN!

i saw the suicide machines twice at el corazon back in the early 2000’s (when it was still called graceland) and they were some of the wildest shows i’ve ever seen.

There used to be a video "Dance craze" on here. i used to have that on videotape. It's about the British Ska scene in the 80s.

Finn's hot dog topping opinion is his best take ever.

Ketchup, Mustard, Relish, Onions, and Chili on a hot dog? Now that's my dog!!!

I just saw a tweet of mine in one of Finn's videos! Day made. Also saw Streetlight live with Cat Bite opening for them a month ago they put on a great show!

🤣🤣🤣🤣my ex hopped trains and loved Leftover Crack! Dead on description!

I started playing guitar because of Rage Against the Machine, when I was 12. I got good at guitar because of Citizen Fish, Choking Victim (I know I know...) Morning Glory, and Streetlight Manifesto. I've always liked the dirty flavors of ska - offbeat upstroked guitar just DOES IT for me.

Ska did have some lasting impact Ska was the theme music for America's Funniest Home Videos and "2-Tone Army" by The Toasters was the theme song to the Nickelodeon show "Kablam!"

I used to listen few Ska bands like Goldfinger and Bosstones but the only thing I really listen nowadays which might be adjacent is Rancid and the The Interrupters which I'm glad to see you liked. I just don't think there anything to write about but it's enjoyable.

So after this attempt to like the genre and your Pop Punk Tier List video from a couple years back, of all bands, I randomly think you should do a focused Less Than Jake video. Cause... I'm with you. They're a hugely influential band for me personally, but also maybe one of the weirdest, hardest to understand, but hugely respected and influential bands to their genre full stop from ANY genre. They're low-key hugely influential in the punk scene, they're a top tier pop-punk band, a legit skate punk band, AND one of the most successful ska-punk bands of all time, and pull off all 3 remarkably well. Plus NO-ONE seems to hate them. They're like the anti-Reel Big Fish. You mentioned that it would take way too long for you to discuss their importance in the Tier List 3 video so it would be kinda cool to see you actually break them down.

Will always love ska punk. My father introduced me to Operation Ivy, and Tim Armstrongs other projects like Rancid when i was like 4 and I've loved ska punk ever since!

Like it or don't, my friend - I personally love most ska punk. I was already a fan of punk & the reggae influences of the Clash, so when I first heard Rancid's Timebomb in 1994, I was an easy convert. I love it - not always in the mood & some are better than others, but our differences spice the world properly! Even if I disagree sometimes, still love the channel mate

There's nothing wrong with enjoying music that takes you back to those afternoon days getting home from school to play some N64 and eat pizza rolls. Back when life was good and fun.

“Vocals a little rough” is a phrase I’ve heard before. But I never thought in a million years it’d be uttered by someone listening to Angelo Moore.

Stuff like this either blows my mind or it sounds like the latter-day 'America's Funniest Home Videos' theme song.

"I feel like this song hasn't started." "This is hot dog music." Fucking best quotes ever to describe ska bahaha

Fun video. Let the ska flow through you!

Saw the Interuptors live and they were awesome ... Shouted the lyrics to "Hey" with Suicide Machine's singer inside the moshpit and it was awesome ;)

9:59 "I'm gonna assume the singer is named Brit." *looks it up* *Brittany Luna: Lead Vocals*

I've learned from this video that Finn only likes ska if it's poppy and produced enough to be on the radio

Oh Finn it was all going so well with your new open minded approach to ska … then u did the trumpet solo! :)

As a Choking Victim fan, the appeal is the offensiveness. Growing up as a kid who was very anti-religion (I mean actively against religion, not just atheist) and maybe having a problem with substances. Choking Victim was this amazing band that just kind of spoke to me. It's apathetic, offensive for offensive sake (but always punching up), and scratches a similar musical itch to Op Ivy.

I love ska. Punk and ska/reggae were close since Madness, Specials, The Beat and more. Even The Clash made a punk/ska song on their first album. The american third wave were something else. I loved the Bosstones Dance Hall Crashers, Catch 22, Mad Caddies, Reel Big Fish and many of the others. Rancid made some great ska songs. But some bands just put that boring ska/reggae backbeat to a song and called it ska. The good bands went further than that. Saw Mad Caddies in NYC about 10 years ago. What a f*cking riot! So much fun! I would argue that was the case of punk and hardcore too. Too many bands were just grinding out the same old cliches over and over. The ones that didn't went on to be the bigger acts just like in 1977 as in 1994. Rancid, Green Day, Offspring, NOFX, Bad Religion. The generic bands are rightfully forgotten.

Chocking victim/ leftover crack is amazing lmao one of my favorite bands in high school

I feel that The Police should be included in these conversations more. the concept of mixing The Ramones with Bob Marley had them so bloody close to Op Ivy a full decade earlyer. Favorite though was Ska-p, all in spanish which I dont understand a lick of, but they covered a ton of musical ground, filled stadiums all over the Hispanic universe, and stayed at the top of their game for longer than anyone else. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eK5_rLB8ddnHlqw.html
