Talk:List of ska musicians

message: Just because you like a band, that doesn't mean the band is important enough to be in this list. The bands should be fairly well-known and influential, otherwise the list will be meaningless and too long.Spylab 19:16, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Bands that aren't "notable"

message: Pretty much the only hits that come up on google for Five Iron Frenzy are the Wikipedia article, an article on a Christian music site, lyrics sites and a site selling their CDs. I have seen no evidence that they are in any way notable to the overall ska genre. They seem to be only known within the small Christian ska scene in the United States. This band is constantly added to this list (sometimes along with two other Christian ska bands) by people with no Wikipedia accounts. I suspect that a former member of Five Iron Frenzy is using Wikipedia to promote the (defunct) band. That is considered vanity posting, which is not what Wikipedia is for. This list is for bands that are fairly famous and/or are influential to the overall ska genre.Spylab 04:18, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Last I checked, TMBG wasn't ska, so why is it even on this list?

message: As the user above stated, some bands on the list are not, in fact, considered to be ska. For example, 311. 311 is barely ska, as their music does not include the characteristic horn section or the walking bass lines. Yes, I'd definitely define the band 311 as more of a funk-rock band. Definitely not ska.
311 is considered ska, as terrible as i find them to be, horn lines don't have to be included for ska it's just really common.  As long as it stresses the off-beat and stresses some upstroke its ska.  But yes they can also be considered a funk-rock band as well, bands can have multiple genres.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.216.177.36 (talk) 18:19, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Ska-P I wouldn't know how to categorize the band, but should they not be on this list? Maybe I missed something. Bloodbeard 19:47, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Should Third Wave and Ska Punk be split into two separate sections instead of both being clumped into one? Both genres have their own separate pages, and it's odd to put bands like Hepcat in the same category as Against All Authority. Skibz777 03:30, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I would add the Japanese bands MURAMASA☆ and LONG SHOT PARTY, but neither of them have their own Wikipedia articles yet (although I would definitely say they're notable).  It doesn't seem like a band having its own article is a requirement to be on this list, but I still think it would look a little strange...  So, what to do?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.229.109.134 (talk) 06:49, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I noticed awhile ago that someone wrote an article for ASOB, so I thought "great I'll add it to the list," but when I try to add it the bot takes it out it for having a profanity, so how to I add to the list with out the bot thinking I'm vandilizing?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by AngryRobo (talk • contribs) 04:03, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I figured I'd ask before I just go ahead and add Leningrad. But is anyone opposed to that? I don't see why you would be. DrJorin (talk) 00:59, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

message: It occurs to me that since ska punk and third wave ska/ska are separate articles/genres, wouldn't it be sensible to split the extensive third wave list into two sections covering both? It doesn't seem like there'd be much conflict of opinion with a clearly distinct categorization.  Skibz777 (talk) 06:14, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
