|name|Los Fabulosos Cadillacs|
|about artist|Los Fabulosos Cadillacs are a latin-rock band from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Formed in 1985, they released their first album, Bares y Fondas (Bars and Boardinghouses) in 1986. Since then they have released fourteen more albums. The band's sound is a mix of rock, ska, jazz, salsa, folk, rap and big band. The lineup has changed throughout the years, but the core members have always been the co-founders: singer Gabriel Fernandez Capello (known as Vicentico) and bassist Flavio Cianciaurlo (known as Sr. Flavio). Vicentico and Sr. Flavio have done the majority of the songwriting and lyrics as well. ([more on last.fm](http://www.last.fm/music/Los Fabulosos Cadillacs))|

"Simmer Down" is ska from about '64. There are a bunch of 60's ska CDs out there but be careful because many, especially the compilations, have overlapping tracks. Here are some examples:

I'm going to pick 5 great albums, and for the most part they represent my favorites, but these will be somewhat more accessible than other stuff I could dig up. Sorry for the US links, but I didn't want to presume too much. I figure you'll be downloading from elsewhere anyway.

This is going to be combination ska/rocksteady/reggae, because sometimes the lines aren't so clear.

Skatalites - Guns of Navarone/Best of (absolutely essential)

The Slackers - The Question (youngish guys playing old styles)

Tim Armstrong (with the Aggrolites) - A Poet's Life (Rancid's singer backed by the incredible Aggrolites)

Chris Murray - Yard Sale (One man band. my favorite song of all time is Let There Be Peace)

Slapstick - Slapstick/25 Songs (third wave, kinda punky stuff)

u/TheAntiRudin · 2 pointsr/Music

Great song. The Specials did a good cover of this; I couldn't find it on youtube, so you'd have to get their Today's Specials CD to hear it. They gave it a much stronger sound than the original.

u/radjose · 2 pointsr/Ska

Hey! The album this was off of was "Today's Specials" and it is currently out of print. I don't know if the label went under or if there is a lot of crazy legal rules around it, but that's why it isn't on any MP3 purchase sites. Oddly, while I finally found a listing for it on Amazon, it only came up when I searched for the album name, not as part of the list of albums that the Specials have made/appeared on. Here's a link to get the CD used or pay an exorbitant price for a new one. Hope this helps!

u/50MillionChickens · 2 pointsr/trueMusic

For the Skatalites and original Jamaican ska specifically, there're a lot of excellent Studio One compilations. I like Foundation Ska a lot.

Also check out Stretching Out, the live recording from the Skatalites reunion in early 80s, pretty much the whole original lineup. A lot of accomplished ska musicians point to this album as a huge influence mainly because the recording is so good and you can pick up the rhythm and style a lot better than any of the original studio stuff, which was all mono and generally one mic in a room.

The Dualers - "Palm Trees and 80 Degrees" - CD / LP (Sunbeat Records)




Release Date: July 26th 2019 – TODAY !!!




The Dualers release a new album of 14 original tracks that cover the full range of Jamaican based music with a little bit of Jazz and Blues added for good measure. With influences throughout from the Ska, Rocksteady and Reggae greats of the 1960’s and 70’s this album is perfect for a celebration of Summer. From their humble origins of busking on the streets of South-East London, Kent and Essex in 1997, the Dualers have grown and continue to grow appealing to fans and families of all ages. The Dualers, led by the distinct crisp vocals of Tyber Cranstoun, take you with them on the next stage of their journey with an immediate feelgood factor from the opening track into your own world of complete satisfaction from upbeat dancing to easy listening and chillin out. This album is suitable for everyone with its haunting rhythms, smooth melodies and hypnotic bass lines. Play it at a BBQ and you will have them all up and dancing...

The Peep Show is a sit-com following two flat-mates who are essentially polar opposites, and yet are friends. It follows their antics, and self centered attempts at one upping the other.

I'm not sure. That is a good question, I know Doc Martin is, but the rest I am unsure of. I have Jeeves and Wooster on DVD, and the Mitchell and Webb stuff I watched at a friends house. Oh yeah! I really really want it!
Also here are the links I forgot to do. One and Two.

I thought Sublime held up pretty well.

And there's a new album!
