There have been 3 waves of ska:

1. Jamaica in the 1960s

2. UK in the late 1970s and 1980s

3. USA in the 1990s

Famous first wave bands include Toots & The Maytals, Prince Buster, The Skatalites and Desmond Dekker.

Famous second wave bands include The Specials, Madness, The Beat and The Selecter.

Famous third wave ska bands include Reel Big Fish, The Aquabats, The Slackers and Less Than Jake.

There are still hundreds of bands out there playing ska, it's not dead, they just aren't making as big an impact and the 3 waves did.

Hope this helps :)

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
