I'm so glad uve heard their early stuff.its lesser known. I myself didnt even know about it until my mom bought tickets to the no doubt show and one of the features from the package she bought included their entire digital discography. None of it was played live. I was in awe, felt like a fake fan for never having heard it before!
Their stuff from Tragic Kingdom and onward is more accessible, has more of a melodic sing-a-long vibe. I love it too but wish the old stuff was more appreciated. Then again ska really is an acquired taste. A lot of ppl seem to hate it but I find it so fun. It gets me pumped. I gotta be in the right mood tho for it.
i've never listened to their full albums but i've heard most songs cuz i was shuffling them on spotify. i seem to like their earlier stuff more since it was less pop. ska seems cool af.
You gotta listen to the specials when you have time if you plan to get into ska. Some really good two tone! Early Madness is great too; they inspired early No Doubt.
