In today's Listomania, we unveil our favorite 10 bands who have a member that doesn't play or do anything, and that's no intended sleight to these critical players, whether they be hypemen, " vibes managers ," or just token old dudes to round out a musical family. Honorable mention goes out to Broken Social Scene's fourth guitar player, or to any band who has more guitarists than three - we've ran the numbers, and there's a huge marginal decline after that third guitarist. Anyway, check out the list and let us know who we might have missed in the comments.
The Boston ska legends return for a set of chilled-out versions of the template they used to achieve one-hit wonder success in the mid-90's. The bands that briefly rose to prominence in the early-to-mid-00's emo craze could do worse than follow the map set out by mid-90's ska hit-makers The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. The band never overstayed it's welcome after their brief flirtation with mainstream success (the No. 1 hit, "The Impression I Get", AKA the only ska song your grandma knows) but simply kept plugging away, played to whomever wanted to see them, following The Dropkick Murphys to...
Niente di meglio che un po' di sano, gustoso ska suonato con impertinenza punk e attitudine rock, per superare indenni i lunghi mesi invernali. E i Bosstones , in questo, non tradiscono mai. Tornati in forma smagliante dopo le pause e i ritorni dei primi anni zero, stavolta sembrano qui per restare. La furiosa orgia di fiati ed energia di "The Daylights" alza il sipario su "The Magic Of Youth", prova inconfutabile che gli instancabili bostoniani stanno vivendo la loro seconda giovinezza a tutto gas. Il singolo "Like A Shotgun" che, in puro stile Rancid [...]

Wir freuen uns auf The Mighty Mighty Bosstones mit einem der eher äußerst raren Deutschlandauftritte. Ende der 80er, als sich niemand mehr für Ska interessierte, gründeten sich die Mighty Mighty Bosstones in Boston und erfanden den Skacore – eine Mischung aus Ska und Hardcore. Ihr immer weiter ansteigender Kultstatus führte die Musiker bis nach Hollywood.
