So let me get this straight: no band signed to a major label loves to play?
Financial success and love of one's art are mutually exclusive?
Aren't you being a little arbitrarily judgemental and more than
a little illogical?

I'm not sure what "ska" is, but No Doubt sounds to me like a good Pop band
with influences from several genres, including Reggae.  So what is "ska"?
I heard some dang thing on the radio that my kid said was "ska" and I just
wanted to bust the damned thing to make them shut up.  It sounds like 
White-Trash Reggae to me.  What a bad idea for a musical style.

Hmmm...  good thing MOAM doesn't make any questionable claims.

All in good fun,

P.S.  Is it bad hick-english to use "dang" and "damned" in the same sentence?
