Ska is a bit faster than reggae. I liked The Specials and was a big fan of Madness.

I saw Madness twice in concert and it was a great show. They were really a combo of pop, ska and British dance hall music.

Every ska song sounds unique.

Every reggae song sounds the same.

Reggae has a major advantage over ska: since their main fan base is potheads, musical originality is not a requirement.
