Metalliska: A Ska Tribute to 80s Metal

Separately, ska and hair-metal have all the appeal of a Corey Feldman film festival. United, as they are on this compilation of ska bands covering ‘80s rock, it somehow works. The Mighty Mighty Bosstones’ punked-up version of Van Halen’s “Ain’t Talkin’ Bout Love” and Reel Big Fish’s horn-fueled romp through Lita Ford’s “Kiss Me Deadly” are keepers, but the best moment is delivered by the Slackers, who reinvent Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead or Alive” as ganja-choked reggae. File under: Ideas so stupid they’re brilliant.
