Sure there are: The Selecter is a great "Ska punk" band.
the group "Madness" was originally(they still might be) a "ska" band, and they were HUGE w/: "Our House" in the '80s.
Also, believe it or not, No Doubt started off as a "ska" band out of cali(LB I think), and became successful as a more pop band. While I think ND is garbage, I have to give it to them for reinventing themselves as a pop band.

& they probably didn't sell 5 copies of it? their dogs probably bought a copy to cheer them up?
Can't argue with you there. They do indeed SUCK.
