Stephen, you said yourself, that you specifically
listen to old school ska and rocksteady, and a little
bit of garage and surf on the side...
Plenty of mods right now listen to everything from
60's soul, ska, garage, psych, beat, r&b, and pop to
70's punk and new wave and 80's and 90's britpop,
etc...
and I'm sure there are more than a few of us who
listen to modern dance music and hip hop (we did have
a discussion about the Beastie Boys last week)...
ugh, nevermind, logic obviously isn't one of your
strong points and I can't be bothered to explain in
simpler terms right now...
