Inspired by hearing Reel Big Fish on a '90s flashback radio program. Fess up to your secret ska shame.

Toasters – New York Fever
Toasters – Skaboom
Pietasters – Strapped Live!
Mephiskapheles – God Bless Satan
Stubborn All Stars – Open Season
BimSkalaBim – Live at the Paradise
BimSkalaBim -Bones

These were the good ones. Unfortunately, it represents maybe one fifth of my 3rd wave collection. I sold most of it off back when electronica was going to save the universe. I swapped my Moon-Ska whoredom for NinjaTune whoredom. I still listen to Mephiskapheles and BimSkalaBim regularly, and wish I had that Pietasters back.

10+

Cause I was a suburban "rebellious" Christian, and third wave ska was how CCM marketed "rebellious" xtianity.

OC Supertones (3 albums)
Insyderz (3 albums)
Five Iron Frenzy (4 albums)

Some people never escaped, so be proud.

Was No Doubt third-wave ska?

In which case I owned one (although now I don't understand why I ever bought it)

I mean, even if they were at least way better than the rubbish Gwen Stefani makes these days.

yeah no doubt was 3rd wave ska even though they sort of ditched the ska elements to have hit songs instead.

i didnt have many cds, but i listened to my friend's copies.

also i remember a discussion about "4th wave ska". the only band i can think of that was supposed to be 4th wave was the deftones. i wish i could call up more of those silly music dicussions that were had as a teenager.

wrong thread for this, but there is this one skanking cut and paste mini alterna hit (but it wasn't by the british) that i can can't for the life of me recall. i am afraid that mystery will never be solved.

5-7, but I think they were almost all comps. I was big on things like the Misfits of Ska comps, and Moon Records...

Do Sublime count? How about Rancid?
