Late 80's early 90s is when it exploded on SoCal - Bout 94is is when it reached the Midwest in mainstream - Bands like 311 and Goldfinger road the wave but mellowed themselves on the "horns" and I guess they survived
Damn I wanna just go nuts when I hear it - To this day, one of the best shows I have ever somewhat seen (trippin ballz on schrooms) is when these guys played with Primus in '91

I beg to differ - SKA has a Horn Section - No Doubt was SoCal Rock that the record companies got a hold of and turned mainstream - Same can be said for Blink182 - GreenDay - SugurRay - All were hard core but sold out for mellow music that paid
And Darrude did the exact opposite for Trance - If anything, "Sandsotrm" got more people listening to Trance - Plus, I would Call Darude More Electronic then Trance

No Doubt did use horns, but I guess I should have been clearer. By "killed it" I meant "sold out". Ruined it for everyone who appreciated the true sound of the genra. Darude did the same. Made the sound pop, and fostered a bunch of other equally awful wanna-be's. I concede to your classification of Darude, I didn't listen to it so I wouldn't really know.
Side note... I like No Doubt.

For Studio Recordings but there was not a "Horn Section" in ND - Only Strings and Drums
How can I start a SKA thread without the KF Monkeys?
Love these freaks and this cover (Better than Real Big Fish too)

No Doubt is Ska? I always just considered them pop.

AWESOME Live - I always loved the way the lead singer would have either his Sax or a Tromb come FLYING into him from 40 ft away off stage and you know some one was just hucking it to him - Dudes were some HUGE trippers too

I bar-tended at the State theater where they played and got to hang with them before the show - Chatted with the lead singer and bass player (smoked with them is more like it) and we laughed about Central Cali being a no mans land - The showtime came and dude came to my Bar TRIPPPIN - Had no idea who I was or where he was - Bass player had to walk him around and all he wanted was Orange Juice

Indeed he and it did - Would beg to differ on the Charts thing though - I think it was released after their Debut which he of course died before - Date Rape was recorded earlier but released later - If Mem serves
