I really like a lot of the old 2-tone ska. I definitely went through a phase where I was into The Specials and The Busters. But a lot of the ska revival - I never really have had an interest in that.

Matt Skiba

Neville and I are big fans of ska. He's actually more into original, Jamaican, skinhead, two-tone ska from England, but I'm more into punk ska - Operation Ivy and stuff Rancid would do.

Sami Zayn

I was really into ska.

Baron Vaughn

I played in ska bands and like all kinds of music.

Bria Skonberg

I got a lot from my uncle who is a really good ska guitarist. Very ragged makeshift rhythms and intricate lines.

King Krule

I was off the scene for a while during the ska period and when I returned and joined the Treasure Isle studio, I came there with a different mood. The musicians picked up on that and we kept on going in that direction. The music became slower, which gave the bass player the time to play more notes. In 1965 I named it rocksteady. The first rocksteady song was 'Girl I've Got A Date'. That one was still a bit up-tempo, leaning towards ska. It turned the tide and made Treasure Isle the number one studio.

Alton Ellis

Never had a ska phase, but I was in a very grunge-like rock band that awkwardly had an alto sax in it.

Colin Stetson

I had a band called Infectious Grooves back in the Nineties. That music was really a mixture of styles, and we had some stuff that was punk rock, ska, but then we had a lot of funk in there.

Robert Trujillo

I'm often just writing just to write. I'm not writing with...If I write, like, sitting down with a goal in mind, it's always, like, the worst. It turns into a ska song even if I'm trying to write like a horror movie sound track or something.

Dan Deacon

I have never played in a ska band.

Matt Skiba

At 15 I discovered girls and '90s ska.

Devendra Banhart

We want to sound modern, but we're still influenced by ska, reggae and Eighties U.K. bands.

Tony Kanal

Well, growing up in the '90s, my first true love was ska music.

Ezra Koenig

The Vienna Franks are a good example of urban white acid folk revivalism crossed with ska.

Douglas Coupland

Look, the Jamaican dancehall stuff, the reggae influences and the ska influence, are always going to be part of our DNA.

Tony Kanal

When I was a kid in the mid-'60s, I was what's known as a moddie boy, a prototype skinhead. You all had your hair like a crew cut, cropped, with suits or Levis with red suspenders, sometimes Doc Martens. It was a thriving soul music, Motown and ska scene; we used to dance to Prince Buster and the Skatalites.
