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 don't really like ska.

Alan Sparhawk

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

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 have never played in a ska band.

Matt Skiba

At 15 I discovered girls and '90s ska.

Devendra Banhart

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

Bria Skonberg

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

Ezra Koenig

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

Tony Kanal

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 lived in the U.K., I recorded a lot of ska and rock-steady styles of Jamaican music. But people there weren't accepting it. So I began using a faster reggae beat.
