what are your favorite songs to skank around to? usually a general rule to good songs to skank to is that they have a clean guitar hitting on the upbeats...and horns is a big big plus....

mine are...

buck-o-nine - my town
long shot hero - attached
five iron frenzy - a flowery song
the toasters - i'm running right through the world
the toasters - two tone army

LTJ didnt sell out, cuz im sure they didnt sell anymore albums than hello rockview, and they didnt get that much bigger and they were on mtv for like a week maybe. if you think anthem sucks, you're not listening close enough, it is a quality record, and more than four songs have horns. in fact the majority of them do, they're just mixed lower. so before you elitists start crying sell out!, think about the definition of what it is to sell out. plus if ltj just kept making the same type of songs, it would get old fast. and anyways back to the original post. basically every reel big fish song is perfect to skank to, i skanked for like an hour and a half at their last show i saw. oh wait, you guys prbly think they sold out too because of cheer up.

Movielife....good call with "9mm and a Three Piece Suit" That song is awesome.

I'm so pumped with the new influx of ska threads....it's cool to see it starting to revive.

As for skanking songs:
"Johnny Quest Thinks Were Sell Outs" - Less Than Jake
"Sell Out" - Reel Big Fish
"Superstar Punani" - Sublime
"Over Seasons" - Authority Zero (I know the last two aren't technically "ska" but these songs are great to skank to)
"Point/Counterpoin" - Streetlight Manifesto
A lot of things by The Pietasters
"It Takes some Time" - Catch 22 (might be my personal pick for best skanking song)

hahaha, I take pride in that nickname.

On some other thread, Piebaldkid or something (I forget his name, exactly) was like "Where's that Jgirv kid?"

Whatever, at least I'm known for something.

Trent, I think your name would be something along the lines of "Loves Drive By Punch and TBS and manages to give good input on every thread out there. This allows him to have about 1300 more posts than me, which is very impressive."

That might be a little long, but you know, it's catchy.

Thanks Girv ... Yeh, I always have something to say, whether people are going to like it or not, I like to get it out there and see if it does any good.

And yes, I have a unregular obsession with Taking Back Sunday and Drive By Punch.

Probably not. I am the king of being the "Girl's best friend," which sucks, but I deal with it. I mean I get the occasional girlfriend but then end up breaking up for whatever reason. Right now I just want to enjoy some college without the hassle of a relationship, so I'm content with my status.

2 more songs: One Cool Guy - Skank Away
Reel Big Fish - Beer

Don't worry. Same with me. It sucks, but oh well.
