1	All the Rage (1984) more music like this by General Public 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 $7.89!
2	Special Beat Service (1982) more music like this by The English Beat 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 $13.59!
3	Ultimate Collection (2000) more music like this by Madness Inevitably, if one calls one's compilation Ultimate Collection, you're going to have some smug journalist replying, "Ultimate collection? I think not." Then again, Madness chalked up quite an impressive list of hits, and even at a generous 19 tracks, this album couldn't fit them all. So then it's down to choices. Chart placement obviously wasn't a ... see all copies from $11.51! new only from $12.86!
4	Beat This! The Best of the Beat (2000) more music like this by The English Beat 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 $7.88! new only from $10.71!
5	Specials [2002 Remaster] (2002) more music like this by The Specials 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 $10.02! new only from $14.43!
6	Let's Face It (1997) more music like this by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones 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 $5.69!
7	On the Charts: I.R.S. Records 1979-1994 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists IRS Records was one of the giants of the post-punk era. They cultivated a roster filled with groundbreaking underground rockers, from the English Beat to R.E.M. Like most great labels, they stayed around a little too long, so their message was diluted toward the end of their life, but in their prime, they were a diverse, exceptional label. Since ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
8	I Just Can't Stop It (1980) more music like this by The English Beat 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 $3.50! new only from $10.76!
9	Wha'ppen? (1981) more music like this by The English Beat 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 $3.94! new only from $11.39!
10	Reggae Hit L.A. (2007) more music like this by The Aggrolites 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 $9.91! new only from $12.56!
11 view cover	Two Shoes (2005) more music like this by The Cat Empire Two Shoes, the second studio album from Melbourne, Australia's Cat Empire, was cut at the legendary Egrem Studio in Havava, Cuba -- the site of landmark recordings by the Buena Vista Social Club and countless other Cuban artists -- in just under a month in late 2004. Like their self-titled studio debut, Two Shoes was a massive success in the ... see all copies from $6.20! new only from $6.20!
12 view cover	The Aggrolites (2006) more music like this by The Aggrolites 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 $10.36! new only from $12.90!
13 view cover	More Noise and Other Disturbances (1992) more music like this by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones As the title indicates, the Bosstones' second LP, More Noise and Other Disturbances, begins to downplay their ska influences in favor of punk and hard rock. The songwriting has slipped a bit, a problem that would plague the band throughout their early career, when they concentrated more on touring than crafting records in the studio. Nevertheless, ... see all copies from $4.36! new only from $12.77!
14 view cover	More Specials [2002 Remaster] (2002) more music like this by The Specials 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 $7.79! new only from $10.76!
15 view cover	Keasbey Nights (2006) more music like this by Streetlight Manifesto "There is absolutely no way of explaining the existence of the record you now hold in your hands without somehow offending, infuriating, confusing or alienating certain parties, so we won't even try. Please enjoy this for what it is." Such is the opening paragraph that awaits inquiring minds inside the notes for Keasbey Nights -- the version "as ... see all copies from $7.82! new only from $12.34!
16 view cover	Complete (2002) more music like this by Terry Hall Complete is plagued by the same problem as many best-of compilations: It isn't comprehensive enough. Condensing Terry Hall's varied career onto a single disc offers only bite-sized pieces of the artist's range. Complete is far from complete; instead, it's an introduction to his stylistic deviations. Hall leapt from the groundbreaking ska of the ... see all copies from $13.34! new only from $13.34!
17 view cover	Forging Ahead (1982) more music like this by Bad Manners Forging Ahead shows the band in peak form for the last time as the ska-revival was losing momentum. Includes the hit cover of Millie's (retitled) classic "My Girl Lollipop." Chris Woodstra, All Music Guide see all copies from $11.00!
18 view cover	Fat Sound (1993) more music like this by Bad Manners see all copies from $9.10! new only from $12.44!
19 view cover	Hairspray (1995) more music like this by The Selecter see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.00!
20 view cover	The Singles Collection (1991) more music like this by The Specials 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 $8.11! new only from $17.79!
21 view cover	Trojan Box Set: Ska Revival (2004) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $17.08! new only from $19.43!
22 view cover	Everything Goes Numb (2003) more music like this by Streetlight Manifesto 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 $10.60! new only from $12.49!
23 view cover	In Retrospect: The Best of the Toasters (2003) more music like this by The Toasters When the third wave ska revival hit New York City in the early '90s, the scene quickly divided into two broad schools: the reggae-inflected old-schoolers who drew as much on the rocksteady sounds of the late '60s as on the more galloping ska sounds of earlier years -- as exemplified by the Stubborn All-Stars and the Version City crew -- and the ... see all copies from $9.51! new only from $10.90!
24 view cover	Live & Direct: Acoustic Roots [Cornerstone Reissue] (2002) more music like this by Slightly Stoopid see all copies from $7.90! new only from $11.34!
25 view cover	One Step Beyond... (1979) more music like this by Madness It's the sheer exuberance of it all that first smacks listeners straight across the head, that and the pure mayhem that careens wildly from the opening shout to the closing note. A musical roller coaster, a tear through a musical house of mirrors, along the way Madness grab streamers of ska and rocksteady and stuff them gleefully into their baggy ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $11.66!
