The only want to start this list could start, is with The Mighty Mighty Bosstones’ most popular song. ‘The Impression That I Get’ is a ska-punk track that remains hugely popular in Australia, and still gets regular airplay on Triple M. It’s an absolute belter and has timeless energy.
Reel Big Fish were my first introduction to ska music via the 1998 David Zucker film BASEketballstarring Trey Park and Matt Stone. The band was part of the third wave of the style in the ‘90s, and their version of a-ha’s 1985 classic ‘Take On Me’ is a legendary, all-time tune.
Area 7 is one of the best-known Australian ska bands, emerging in Melbourne in 1994 with their localised take on ska-punk. They were nominated for an ARIA in 2000, but you can’t get away from their attempt at capturing the bogan Australian aesthetic.
American band Rancid are often categorised as a punk rock band, but ‘Time Punk’ is definitely on the ska side of things, and is one of their most popular songs. If it sounds familiar, you may have heard it in several films, Gilmour Girlsor as the entrance theme for UFC Fighter Antonio Banuelos.
Before he was a member of blink-182, Travis Barker was a member of Califonia ska rock band The Aquabats. ‘Super Rad’ was a track from their 1997 album Fury Of The Acquabatsand received mainstream airplay across the US. The band has since inspired a TV show.
Yep, the band so nice they make the list twice. ‘Beer’ is another belter from Reel Big Fish, and also featured on that same soundtrack for BASEketball.
Forming in 1994, Goldfinger was another big contributor to third-wave ska. If ‘Superman’ sounds familiar, it’s probably because the track was used in the original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater(1999).
