Conan has good taste.

The great thing about life is that we don't all have to like the same things.

Yeah but it was rather unkind of me to get Banty to listen to a ska song. I fear she found the experience traumatic.

Understandable lol there’s some songs that I used to love and I listen to now and I’m like this is.... terrible ??? Yet still somehow love it and listen for the nostalgia lmao I am also now much more into stuff with an actual good rhythm or melody or whatever and like good playing, like actually musically good songs, as opposed to just whatever else if I’m making sense haha so now I listen to stuff and I’m like the instrumentation sucks

Batty did not have to listen to the whole thing. She survived it.

Hahah omg some of it is terrible but some is pretty good. What would you consider Stick Figure and Rebulation? My brothers used to be obsessed with them lol and I actually like them too RBF was.... a lot more chaotic than I remember they were good live though lol I feel like that kind of thing is better live.

I just listened to "Sell Out." Is that what we're talking about?

Not familiar with either of those bands. According to google both are reggae which was never really my thing.

Huh, interesting! Thanks! I like some of it but then some I don’t. And I remember they would always play the same few songs every time we went on the boat, I think they had a CD, so I would always get sooo bored and sick of them but now I like both of them haha I actually forgot about them till tonight though so thanks! there’s one other one they used to listen to that I can’t remember and is driving me crazy.

Yes. That was their one main stream hit (ironically). Basically ska is an offshoot of punk that incorporates trumpets and other brass and tends to have really bouncy upbeat instrumental music (even if the lyrics are dark). Early No Doubt songs are also ska.
