I'm listening to a lot of reggae from the late 60s at the moment, and I'm really into Dub from the 70s and what have you.

But apparently Dub comes from Ska. Now, the only experience I have of Ska is the Specials and Madness, both of which I would probably list in my 'top 10 most disgraceful bands ever to exist'. Are they an accurate representation of the genre, or are they just the mainstream stuff that you hear about and actually nothing like PROPER Ska?
