So I am getting into Ska. Opinions on my choices?

I have been getting into Ska lately and really like it. I have been listening to some mainstream stuff right now but anyways. What are your opinions on my choice?

The Toasters
Slow Gherkin
Russkaja
Furillo
The Pietasters
Mad Caddies
Reel Big Fish
Mustard Plug

Please leave me some bands. I really like this genre. And if you are asking why Sublime isn't up there it is because I don't know a single person who doesn't like Sublime

. Thanks guys I am new to this forum so check my profile out. Stop and send a request.

Reel Big Fish? Do you mean powder puff American bands with trumpets?

Listen to Prince Buster. That's ska.
