C'mon. 100% of all ska isn't stupid. The Specials! The Skatalites!

If you're going to propose a number less than 99% i have nothing more to say to you.

"Ska Skank Redemption." That's so bad it's awesome.

I can't believe that the following are not Christian ska band names:

Give Us Skarrabbus
Skantius Pilate
King Skerod
Skarden of Gethsemane
Skazarus
Skank on Water
John the Skaptist
Immaculate Skanception
The First Ska Letter of Ska Paul to the Skassalonians

The Feast of the Holy Skankumcision.

Noah's Skarc.

Of course, metal is just as subject to obsessive, excessive fandom as any other genre, if not moreso:
