1	All the Rage (1984) more music like this by General Public add to wishlist First out of the gate with a new band after the English Beat's acrimonious fracture in June 1983, General Public was the first post-punk supergroup, gathering the Beat's Dave Wakeling and Ranking Roger, the Specials' Horace Panter, and other veterans of the U.K. ska revival. (Mick Jones, freshly booted from the Clash, was originally announced as ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.65!
2	Specials [2002 Remaster] (1979) more music like this by The Specials add to wishlist The Specials' self-titled debut sparked the Two-Tone movement in the late '70s. With well-chosen ska classics and Prince Buster-inspired originals, the band mixed political and social activism and blended punk's intensity with an infectious dance beat. The Specials is a landmark recording that, while very much a product of its time, hasn't really ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $9.78!
3	Let's Face It (1997) more music like this by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones add to wishlist With No Doubt and Sublime having dominated the pop airwaves in 1996, it wasn't too much of a stretch for the Mighty Mighty Bosstones to hope for similar success, even if their sound was louder and heavier overall -- after all, they had been arguably the best-known ska band in the American underground for some time and had laid much of the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $13.28!
4	Rub It Better (1995) more music like this by General Public add to wishlist General Public earned a second shot with its Top 40 cover of "I'll Take You There" in 1994. But the group took a year to complete this reunion album, which did not include the hit. Instead, Dave Wakeling and Ranking Roger alternated tracks, with Wakeling's employing the dense, multi-rhythmic sound found on producer Jerry Harrison's solo albums and ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.87!
5	I Just Can't Stop It (1980) more music like this by The English Beat add to wishlist I Just Can't Stop It was a late arrival onto the checker- boarded scene, the Specials, Madness and the Selecter had all beat the (English) Beat to the punch, but luckily this wasn't a race. Besides, the band had already primed the pump with a trio of Top 10 singles -- the double A-sided "Tears of a Clown"/"Ranking Full Stop," "Hands Off She's Mine ... see all copies from $2.26! new only from $8.71!
6	Wha'ppen? (1981) more music like this by The English Beat add to wishlist Wha'ppen? Well their early fans might ask, but The (English) Beat were growing up fast, and for every member of the Two Tone army that bemoaned the lack of punk fire found here, they enlisted a new recruit taken with their maturing sounds and more diverse stylings. The album's taster "Drowning," coupled with another album track "All Out to Get You ... see all copies from $6.97! new only from $25.00!
7	Reggae Hit L.A. (2007) more music like this by The Aggrolites add to wishlist Look come, run see, reggae has arrived! "Reggae Hit the Town" in 1968 as the Ethiopians excitedly exclaimed. But that was in Kingston town, and it's only now, courtesy of the Aggrolites, that finally Reggae Hit L.A., an exuberant homage to the early reggae scene and everything that made it great. Even in its earliest years, reggae quickly embraced ... see all copies from $7.87! new only from $9.97!
8	Beat This! The Best of the Beat (2000) more music like this by The English Beat add to wishlist Though they ultimately skated far away from the "Two Tone" pigeon-hole that yawned for other bands of their ilk and age, the English Beat were certainly pursuing similar demons as they rose out of hometown Birmingham in 1979, with a ska-punk collision that matched social politics with sociological awareness, then turned the whole thing into a non ... see all copies from $5.79! new only from $8.14!
9	What Is Beat? (1983) more music like this by The Beat add to wishlist Little surprise that the Beat (or English Beat, depending on what country the band found itself in) quickly achieved a cult status that has yet to die. A perfect blend of Madness' warm, winning spin on ska and the early Specials' tenser, darker sound, the septet created pop/rock/ska fusions that were instantly memorable and rewarded repeated ... see all copies from $2.23! new only from $29.05!
10	The Aggrolites (2006) more music like this by The Aggrolites add to wishlist The band picture that graces the cover of the Aggrolites' debut album is somewhat deceptive. Dressed in black and staring malevolently at the camera, the bandmembers all look like young punks bent on violence -- the fact that lead singer Jesse Wagner is brandishing a baseball bat only completes the image of potential mayhem. With trepidation, you ... see all copies from $7.92! new only from $9.97!
11	Special Beat Service (1982) more music like this by The English Beat add to wishlist In Britain, The (English) Beat were moving very much in the wrong direction, as their chart placements made clear. "Save It for Later" released in April 1982, barely made the Top 50, "Jeanette," their new album's taster, just brushed Number 45, "I Confess" didn't even chart, probably because it's flip "Sole Salvation" was also culled off the album ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.45!
12	The Singles Collection (1991) more music like this by The Specials add to wishlist All of the essential singles from the Specials' three albums are present on this 15-track collection. Not only the perfect starting point for the curious, the inclusion of B-sides and rarities, like an inspired cover of Dylan's "Maggie's Farm," makes this essential for fans. ~ Chris Woodstra, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.95! new only from $8.99!
13	Too Much Too Young: The Gold Collection (1996) more music like this by The Specials add to wishlist Although they share the same title and were recorded during the same autumn 1979 tour, this Too Much Too Young album should not be confused with the five-song EP of the same title. The EP, as fans well know, was released in early 1980 and sped to the top of the charts. The album, regardless of its early recording date, is a much later cash-in -- ... see all copies from $8.17! new only from $8.17!
14	Trojan Box Set: Ska Revival (2004) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $18.49! new only from $18.49!
15	Keep Moving (1984) more music like this by Madness add to wishlist By 1986, the Clive Langer/Alan Winstanley production team had become synonymous with an all-too-slick approach. And despite their previous, well-tempered work with the band, Keep Moving falls into the same formulaic pitfalls of the period, incorporating the overused Afrodiziak and TKO horns, as well as a full gospel choir and even a cameo from ... see all copies from $12.61! new only from $38.57!
16	Banished to Bogeyland (1999) more music like this by Inspecter 7 add to wishlist On their second album, Banished to Bogeyland, Inspecter [sic] 7 wallow in the seamier side of life, their subject matter concerning substance abuse, mass murderers and venereal disease, in addition to the standard breakup laments. Still, this being ska, the darkness is more cartoonish than haunting. The album also contains re-recordings of two ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.99!
17	Total Madness: The Very Best of Madness (1997) more music like this by Madness add to wishlist Since Geffen doesn't possess the rights to the bulk of Madness's best, most influential work, Total Madness: The Very Best of Madness isn't the definitive compilation it could have been. Instead of drawing heavily on their early ska singles, Total Madness relies on the latter-day albums Keep Moving and Mad Not Mad, as well as adding three cuts ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.99!
18	The Dangermen Sessions, Vol. 1 (2005) more music like this by Madness add to wishlist What does a veteran band do when it's some 25 years into its career and wants to record a new album but doesn't have any new original songs? Why, record a covers album of course! And that's exactly what Madness, the kings of British ska revival, have done for their ninth studio album, 2005's The Dangermen Sessions, Vol. 1. It's their first new ... see all copies from $2.50! new only from $8.54!
19	Complete Madness (1982) more music like this by Madness add to wishlist The 16-track compilation The Complete Madness compiles all of the group's early singles -- from "The Prince" to "House of Fun" -- and adds a handful of classic album tracks and concert favorites like "In the City," "Bed and Breakfast Man," and "Madness." It's thorough and a thoroughly entertaining collection, encapsulating exactly why Madness were ... see all copies from $12.61! new only from $15.07!
20	Everything Goes Numb (2003) more music like this by Streetlight Manifesto add to wishlist Streetlight Manifesto's competent, lively ska-punk debut sets jittery, usually very rapid tunes to singer/guitarist Tomas Kalnoky's ultra-fast vocals. (Kalnoky also wrote all of the material and produced the record.) It's much like hearing a hardcore punk singer supported by much cheerier melodies and varied rhythms than most hardcore punk bands ... see all copies from $11.33! new only from $11.33!
21	More Specials [2002 Remaster] (1980) more music like this by The Specials add to wishlist Less frenzied than its predecessor, but more musically adventurous, More Specials was nearly as popular in its day as its predecessor, falling just one chart place below their debut. It kicked off in similar fashion as well, with a classic cover, this time with an exuberant take on Carl Sigman and Conrad Magidson's 1940s chestnut "Enjoy Yourself." ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $10.99!
22	Live & Direct: Acoustic Roots [Cornerstone Reissue] (2001) more music like this by Slightly Stoopid add to wishlist see all copies from $9.10! new only from $9.10!
23	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Madness (2005) more music like this by Madness add to wishlist There have been numerous gigantic Madness anthologies -- 1999's Lot box, 2000's Ultimate Collection, and 2002's Our House: Best of Madness -- but none as concise as Hip-O's 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Madness. The group had so many excellent singles -- "House of Fun," "Bed & Breakfast Man," and "Our House" -- that ... see all copies from $7.65! new only from $7.65!
24	Greatest Hits (2006) more music like this by The Specials add to wishlist Who ever heard of a Specials Greatest Hits collection that didn't include "Concrete Jungle" or "Rat Race"? It's not like the music that is here isn't wonderful -- it is, and the choices made are righteous insofar as they go. The problem is that the missing cuts leave such a gaping hole. Other best-ofs -- including the one compiled by Disky -- ... see all copies from $5.88! new only from $5.88!
25	Keasbey Nights (1998) more music like this by Catch 22 add to wishlist see all copies from $9.72! new only from $9.72!
