Can anyone recommend me any good ska bands?

I don't listen to much ska but I do recommend you listen to some of the mainstream stuff as FFGuru mentioned. Sometimes, the mainstream stuff isn't all that good but I definitely think you should check out No Doubt, Sublime, and Operation Ivy. No Doubt and Sublime seem a bit more "ska-core" in a way. But they're pretty good in my opinion.

The thing about No Doubt is, I used to be totally into them, they had some great cd's (Tragic Kingdom, etc.) but they're newer stuff was WAY too poppy for me. Now Gwen Stefani has what I consider to be an awful solo career. But I'll definitely go back into their older stuff. Thanks!

And Taco, your list was really cool, and in depth. I'll make sure to check out those bands. (Christian music is not a problem for me.)
