This album is the General of revivals. Enough respect to Alpheus and the A Lone Crew!
If you don’t know it get to know, “From Creation” original material with a foundation from ska and rocksteady inspiration.
Some great albums on there Joe, but what about the awesome Razika, Planet Smashers & Smoke Like A Fish releases – those were my top 3 for 2011 & none of them are listed.
greatest venezuelan record in 2011… dp continues to shine and innovate in making great fun-loving music for fun-loving people. For more than 20 year and counting dp amaze us again with this record proving that… desorden ´ta en la calle!!!!
If it is not too late, please check out the 2011 Stomp Records release of “Nothin But Time” by Rude City Riot. If you will give me an email address I can send a zipped folder with mp3s from the album. The LP has received nothing but praise since it’s June release. Produced by “whizz kid producer” Alex Condor Aligizakis this is Ska record that rocks, has traditional influences but sounds very modern at the same time. The songwriting is very strong. Lead singer and band leader Dustin Lionhart has been writing Ska songs since he was 14. Scott Atkins, one of the bands guitarists has been in bands with Dusty since high school.
Strong vocals, insidious hooks and killer musicianship – it’s all there. It may be said of RCR that this Ska band has stronger solo power and a more exciting stage show than any new Ska band in the last decade.
regards,
Dan Cowan, Mgr of Rude City Riot.
Thanks Dan, the record has been added to the list. Audio files can be sent to joe@joescholes.com. I am looking forward to listening to them.
Cheers, Joe
Dont know too many of the bands mentioned.But i love Pauline Blacks Selector,so thats where my vote goes.Pauline has done so much for Ska music,and would be a worthy winner.
In a world that moves so fast the lady of ska pauline black for me has made time stand still for me, still goin strong after all these years pauline and the selecter have been there done it and wore the t- shirt for me that doesnt mean complacency? Its means passion and commitment for the love of music and teachin the younger generation how its done with perfection’ sure its only my opinion but never mind how many votes they get i,d give Pauline a bloody knighthood for her continued effort:)
Not many people outside of the Spanish speaking part of Latin America know of Desorden Publico. I invite all those who frequent this site to check them out. They are not a new fad, it’s a band that is strongly rooted in some of the classic ska sounds and that is not shy to show everyone they have the Caribbean running through the veins of their music and it has been just that, a strong, positive, varied sound for the last 20. Check them out in youtube if you may.
Hello Joe, first of all, thanks for doing this great job!..It is true that 2011 was a year of many good SKA albums , and that´s NOT easy to choose just one as our favourite..Fortunately, this is not a competition where the winner will take it all, this is just a game where we can discover many bands and many great albums..So I would like to say you Thanks for giving us this chance, and ..By the way, here I´m sending a brief list of Another very important albums that aren´t on yours:
-NY SKA JAZZ ENSEMBLE “Double Edge”
-Tokyo SKa Paradise Orchestra “Sunny Side of the Street”(EP)
-Tokyo Ska Paradise Ochestra “Heroes” (EP)
-Alaska “Will that be enough”
-Maroon Town “Urban Myths”
-Bad Manners “You are just too good to be true”-the covers album-
-Easy Star All Stars “A first light”
-Os Paralamas do Sucesso “Brasil Afora multishow ao vivo”
-Alborosie ” 2 Times revolution”
-Carlos Dingo “Ska is Dangerous”
-El Gran Miércoles “Surf Steady”
-Little Tempo (Japan) “Taiyou no Hanayome”
-Fishbone “Crazy Glue”
I hope some of them will have the chance to obtain some votes..all those discs are very good!
thanks a lot for the additions. I Will put them on the list as soon as possible. Will skip the EPs, since it’s an album list. But I see that I missed some big names. The good thing: There are still two and a half days to vote.
These Guys dare to be different and give ska a kick up the ass to give it a more modern sound. They dont sound like all the other ska bands that seem to be stuck in limbo with the same predictable sound.
The album itself really is the dogs nadgers and their strongest to date.
Slow numbers upbeat numbers you name it this album has it. The track titanic is pure brilliance.
So do yourself a favour and download it or buy it. You wont be disappointed.
soy fan de DESORDEN PUBLICO desde hace 27 años me considero un desordenado mas por esta razón y muchas otras apoyo a mi banda VENEZOLANA, LATINOAMERICANA Y DEL MUNDO ENTERO que viva el Ska y el Reggae y a mis hermanos de Desordenados todo el éxito del universo con bendiciones energía y buena vibra
El disco de la Agrupación Venezolana Desorden Público es totalmente fenomenal!!!!!!. Esta banda pionera del Ska en nuestro país, ha regresado a sus raíces musicales, y en su última producción discográfica “Los Contrarios”, nos traen una diversidad de temas de muy buena calidad, además de la colaboración de Rubén Albarrán, vocalista de Café Tacvba en el tema El poder emborracha. También participan Andreas Frege “Campino”, voz líder del quinteto punk alemán Die Toten Hosen; del increíble Kunikazu Tanaka, saxofonista de los mounstros de Asia “TOKIO SKA PARADISE ORCHESTRA” y Nereida y Betsayda Machado, voces de los Vasallos del Sol.
No cave duda que el Disco de Desorden Público reúne todos los requisitos para optar por este majestuoso galardón Desde Venezuela un semillero de muchos Rudeboys y de las mas bellas Rudegirls del planeta, apoyamos a nuestra banda con orgullo!!! de Venezuela para el mundo ellos son: DESORDEN PÚBLICO.
Oh my god ! DESORDEN PUBLICO!!!! I’m very proud of the best ska band of my country! Congratulations for your new album LOS CONTRARIOS! You deserve to be the Best Ska Rocksteady Early Reggae Album 201!! You have already shown in his last European tour ! I love you so much!
Desorden Público Fusión de SKA con ritmos del Caribe y Latinoamérica
26 años de fundada, con 10 Discos y muchas participaciones mundiales.
Gracias por el apoyo y por compartir la música del Mundo.
Selecter for sure!!!!!!! Made in Britain represents everyday people with its apt lyrics and beautifully blended music!!!! And nearly all of the biggest and best ska and rocksteady music in the world was ‘made in Britain’ or for Britain!!!! 🙂
in the name of all DESORDEN PÚBLICO members, I would like to send one million THANKS to all the real friends who voted for our album “Los Contrarios”..And of course, Vielen, Vielen Danke für JOE for giving us the chance to participate here.
We are really proud for such a huge number of votes and want to say that as someone mentioned in one message, “EVERY SKA or REGGAE Band that was abble to released their album, is a winner, there are a LOT of great bands with wonderful albums on this list. I know every member of DESORDEN has his own Top ten with bands like Selecter, Holly Cook, NY Ska Jazz Ensemble, Moon Invaders, Alpheus, Planet Smashers, Little Roy, Prince Fatty, Kevin Batchelor, Carlos Dingo , the Slackers,etc etc…We are real fans of all of them, we play their music on our own Radio Show, every saturday´s afternoon (Radio Pirata on: http://www.ateneofm.com)..We even trade cd´s with some record labels of the world, in order to spread the word of the International SKA and Reggae, for the Venezuelan audiences…All this is Beacuse WE LOVE SKA MUSIC!!! …Much Respect for all the people on this list!.. that´s the main reason because we are really PROUD and HAPPY for being here, among soooo many great bands.
Keep on Skanking!

We are really proud for such a huge number of votes and want to say that as someone mentioned in one message, “EVERY SKA or REGGAE Band that was abble to released their album, is a winner, there are a LOT of great bands with wonderful albums on this list. I know every member of DESORDEN has his own Top ten with bands like Selecter, Holly Cook, NY Ska Jazz Ensemble, Moon Invaders, Alpheus, Planet Smashers, Little Roy, Prince Fatty, Kevin Batchelor, Carlos Dingo , the Slackers,etc etc…We are real fans of all of them, we play their music on our own Radio Show, every saturday´s afternoon (Radio Pirata on: http://www.ateneofm.com)..We even trade cd´s with some record labels of the world, in order to spread the word of the International SKA and Reggae, for the Venezuelan audiences…All this is Beacuse WE LOVE SKA MUSIC!!! …Much Respect for all the people on this list!.. that´s the main reason because we are really PROUD and HAPPY for being here, among soooo many great bands.
