I,m really digging THE FLAMING TSUNAMIS at the moment. Ska Hardcore Punk is the best description, they really are extraordinary. An acquired taste though. Some people may find them too schizophrenic.

I don't even know if I've heard 5 ska bands but I have a question is streetlight manifesto considered ska?

most the bands mentioned in this thread are technically ska-punk, but that's basically what the term 'ska' has come to mean

1. Streetlight Manifesto
2. Reel Big Fish
3. Catch 22 (Alone In A Crowd/Keasbey Nights)
4. The Aquabats
5. Mad Caddies

^^^
Three out of my five are just plain ska. I was hesitant to put THE FLAMING TSUNAMIS as they only have elements of ska. I'm surprised you have put REEL BIG FISH as they are Ska by numbers. I also like:

Toyko Ska Paradise Orchestra.
New York Jazz Ska Ensemble.

Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra rock.
