Okay, fine, let's try this. A month ago @ericgoldman.bsky.social challenged me to create a "best ska songs of all time" playlist that was better than ChatGPT's. So, here it is: 200 songs of ska: open.spotify.com/playlist/0wW...
You will disagree with some choices on my list. That's cool. This is all totally subjective. These are the songs that have stuck with me. And to keep it to 200 songs, I made some tough choices. There are more good songs. If I didn't include your favorite, it's probably because I'm a bad person.
This list is incredible! More than half are completely new to me, and what I've heard so far is great.
9 1/2 hours of music: I'm making a drive in a couple weeks Dallas to El Paso, 9 1/2 hours. I've found my playlist for the trip!
Since we're sharing playlists, If anyone loves Paul's Boutique as much as I do, here's one I made from KEXP's breakdown of that Beastie Boys album. A few songs are missing but may be available on other albums: open.spotify.com/playlist/1RO... tidal.com/browse/playl...
