You all know my love for Jamaican ska. Two of my all time favourites:
Saw the Skatalites a few years back. Watching Doreen Shafer take the stage nearly reduced me to tears. Life-affirming, glorious moment in an unremittingly shit world.
Swing Easy by the Soul Vendors fronted by the former Skatalite Roland Alphonso. This rhythm is stunning and led directly into the Bluebeat style that was to follow.
Edit: ah, fck it. One more. Watched The Beat live about 4 weeks back. Ranking Jr on vocals. They are a fantastic live outfit. They kicked off with one of my favourite Two Tone tracks:

Not really ska but there's the link with it being half of The Specials.
Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. He runs like a cheetah, his crosses couldn't be sweeter. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore.
