Ten points further up the points pole is where #15 finishes. A Top 10 and Bottom 10 are taken away from this reveal.

With the way that Fishbone talks about their ma and pa in this song, it’s surprising that they allowed them to reach the Top 15.
While I personally think that Fishbone has released many better songs, a good amount of you seemed to moderately enjoy it.

The world is over for Save Ferris as they leave at #13.
I was a big fan of theirs in the late 90’s/early 00’s as one of the third-wave ska bands that had some success. Mostly from their cover of “Come on Eileen,” but I remember this song having some airplay. They are also really fun to see live as I did many years ago.

I don’t believe the Dance Hall Crashers have been in another rankdown before, but they’ve lost again. Now at #12.
This was another band that I sort of got into in the past. I’m assuming that No Doubt breaking out helped them gain some success in the ska scene.

I’m expecting to reveal the Top 10 sometime tomorrow. Worse case, on Sunday.
We end this set seven points above Dance Hall Crashers with a BIG one at #11. Let’s see. Two will lose a Top 5, one loses a Top 10, one loses a Bottom 10, and another loses a Bottom 5.

Still a pretty good top 10...but the implication it makes that almost all the best Ska comes from California is majorly goofy.

I know that I said that I'd have Top 10 reveals for this rankdown today, but I've been pretty busy with family stuff this weekend and haven't had a chance to work on them.
I hope to have them ready to go sometime over the next day or two. My apologies.

Hi, everyone. Super sorry for the delay once again in presenting the Top 10.
We start off here up two points from Streetlight Manifesto. This is a big one. Let’s just refer to Top 5’s from here out. Two of you lose one of yours. Two others also lose a Bottom 10.

Toots & The Maytals will remember their number as they get called to leave at #10.
While I didn’t rank this one high, I am very glad to see it at least reach the Top 10 as the legends that they are in the genre.
This also clears my Bottom 10, so… yay.

We’ve moving a lot with this one in points as we rise up 17 to #9. Two lose a Top 5 here and since wrip is the only one with any Bottoms 5 left, he loses one here.

Less Than Jake can go hang out with their metalhead friends as they are told to leave at #9.
As you all know, I’m a huge huge LTJ fan and am thrilled to see them reach the Top 10 here. Their music personally got me through a lot of darker days when I was in high school.

Let’s move up seven points to #8 from Less Than Jake. One Top 5 is taken away here. This is also the first song never to leave the Top 10 overall.
I can say it here and you see the lowest rank below. Congrats to chanman as you clear your Bottom 10!

Good place for this song to go out. This is a song I had severely underrated by the band before this rankdown made me remember it.

Time for Operation Ivy to upgrade that sound system as their speakers die here at #8.
A few of you who know ska music decently may already know this, but Operation Ivy only released one full-length album titled “Energy” in 1989 and then disbanded. That was a huge inspiration for many of the bands on this list in the third wave of ska in the 90’s.

No Doubt can go jump into spiderwebs now as they get exterminated at #7.
My ranking here sticks out clearly. Don’t get me wrong. I was a big No Doubt fan back in their very very popular days, but this was never one of my favorite songs of theirs.
“Don’t Speak” obviously has the most plays on Spotify, but I wouldn’t consider that a ska song. This song had the second most plays for me to include this in the list.
Condolences to aerodynamite for losing your #1. This was indeed all my fault. You can screen my phone calls now.

The Specials can go deliver the message for Rudy to stop messing around now that they’re released at #6.
I remember hearing this song when I was younger and it’s a ska/reggae classic, so I’m happy to see it reach the Top 10 as well.
Condolences to peacebone for losing your #1.

There goes my #2 lol. What can I say, I thought Gwen Stefani slayed doing the ska thing. Wish she'd go back to it, or at least something resembling an alt-rock sound.

The good thing is as we move two points up to #5 is that no one loses a #1. However, four people lose a Top 5.
