Reel Big Fish is a great ska band, and Sublime is a good (older) ska band.
Don;t listen to this guy :p

Ska is a kind of music that originated in Jamaica before reggae came around. Good (real) ska bands include The Specials, The Toasters, the Skatalites, etc etc etc

Third wave is generally a crappy genre with a few decent bands, Big D and the Kids Table being the first one that come to mind.
