Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, Streetlight Manifesto, The Specials, The English Beat, early Marley, Reel Big Fish but really I find that for a genre that is so cool in theory, there are really not as many good ska bands that I would hope for in reality. For me I think a lot of ska tends to blend into whiny pop punk way more often than it should. Even bands like Reel Big Fish can be a little whiny in subject matter for me.
