Most of the ska I listen to is ska/punk or ska/core. That being said, Tomas Kalnoky (from Streetlight Manifesto, Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution, Catch 22, and Gimp) is my favorite. Honorable mentions are:
Reel Big Fish - Even though most of their stuff is nearly identical and their last two albums aren't too good, they're incredibly fun.
Operation Ivy - Their only album (Energy) is flippin' awesome.
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - I only have Let's Face It and Question the Answers, but they're both really good.
Sublime - 40 Oz. to Freedom and Self-titled are classics.
