Other than ska I enjoy Motion City Soundtrack, Taking Back Sunday, Squirrel Nut Zippers, The Academy Is..., Tub Ring, Flogging Molly, and several more. But for the most part, other than ska, my other primary genre of choice is alternative rock styles.

Well, when i'm not listenin to the ska, I'm listenin to some swing, Like, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Cherry Poopin Daddy, Count Bassie, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, sometimes Glenn Miller. More often then not i pull out my reggae, Bob Marley, Damien Marley, Bedouin Soundclash, Matisyahu, Peter Tosh, and all the rest o' them guys. Then there lots of DDR techno stuff... only because it' fun. Normal rocks band I listen to include L'arc~en~Ciel, Asian Kungfu Generation, Dispatch, Dragonforce, Rhapsody, Protest the Hero, Alexisonfire, the list is infinite, so I'm just gonna stop there ^_^

At The Disco, The Postal Service <3, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sixpence None The Richer, The Streets, and Third Eye Blind <3.

There's a lot of a lot. So I'm not including all of it. I love lots of music though.

I like metal, kinda ironic since it's very contrasting to ska. But not all metal, mostly gothic, symphonic, and power metal. Like Nightwish, Theatre of Tragedy, Sirenia, DragonForce, Symphony X, Megadeth, Agathodaimon, Stratovarius to name some.

If I'm not listening to ska or metal, it's usually techno/electronica.

When I don't listen to ska, I usually listen to punk and hardcore (not the emo stuff that gets passed as hardcore, but the stuff from the 80s).
