Vote For Your Favourite Ska, Rocksteady, Early Reggae Song, Album, Live Band 2009

After nearly 30 years of listening to, writing about and making Ska Music I have to say for the year 2009: I don’t know what’s happening! A few days back I went to the great forum ska-talk.org, where the question was asked: “Which was the best live band/live show in 2009?” I tried and I tried … but I couldn’t come up with a useful contribution. The same would be true if you asked me about my “favourite Ska/Rocksteady/Early Reggae album 2009″ or my “favourite Ska/Rocksteady/Early Reggae Song”.

Shame on me! I promise betterment for 2010. But in the meantime I would like to know from you: Which were your favourites in 2009? In late December I will start three polls at my blog joescholes.com for “Best Live Band”, “Best Album” and “Best Song.” Please send me in your suggestions for the shortlist.

Just write in the comments something like:
Best Album: Aggrolites, IV
Best Song: “Cost Of Loving”, Liberator
Best Live Band: The Specials

I will see through your favourites, then write the shortlist of the polls. If you are a band you can of course put yourself on the shortlist (with a link to your music). Don’t forget to share this post with all your friends involved in Ska Music. The more people take part, the more powerful the polls.

Thanks for your help!
