But I thought this was also ska?

Yeah and I want to include more ska if possible (turns out there were only a handful of ska hits in the 90s) but "What I Got" doesn't really sound like a ska song, either

Does it make you want to fly?

...fly off a bridge

Keep Blink and Green Day fer shure.

i'm with plat on this one. What I Got shouldn't be in this. but that's just me.

Of course, I'm just saying, there's enough Blink and Green Day songs in there that we could knock out one of each to make room if people reeeeally want "All I Got" and "Stacy's Mom" in there. But I don't want to!

Just follow your heart then

I mean to say you shouldn't make room for those idiotic fucking suggestions. This is serious business.

you're doing a good job, george

Something from Alkaline Trio is a must. Either Time to Waste or All On Black as they would be the most known.

my friend peter

Or My Little Needle

Other suggestions:

The living end - prisoner of society
The movie life - Jamestown
The suicide machines - no face
Buck-o-nine - my town (probably too obscure but has the ska flavor)
Say Anything - alive with the glory of love
The smoking popes - need you around
Thursday - understanding in a car crash
Sunny day real estate - in circles
Jawbreaker - boxcar

If we're letting in The Living End, we need to also include Grinspoon. It's a slippery slope.

No one looked at my mega-post from earlier in this thread with all the Aussie bands of the era did they??

Too small and local, we're aiming for as wide recognizability as possible

Staceys Mom should be I think

Exactly.

Is Millencolin in this?

Their most famous song (thanks to the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater):


Another excellent song from the same album, which gained some traction:


The last I heard from them (2005). Catchy pop punk:

No cigar could win the whole thing

No Cigar vs. Dammit final.
