I've always loved The Pietasters. They were the first show I ever went to.

If you want a punk/ska mix, Operation Ivy is excellent.

Aaron Barrett of the Reel Big Fish had a side project for a while called The Forces of Evil that's got some fun stuff in a ska vein.

Professor Plum was a small ska band I really enjoyed when they were doing things (oh golly thirtyish years ago).

+1 for Skatalites, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Reel Big Fish, RxBandits, Less than Jake

The Arrogant Sons of Bitches is one of my favorites, and not just because they spent time mic'ing a playskool xylophone for their sets. They're not as, um, clean as the Reel Big Fish but there's a ton of fun to be had with their songs.

Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra

TheBaldness ,

The Toasters. They're 3rd wave ska, after The Specials, who were 2nd wave. Try the early albums. Look for the song "Mister Trouble".

HipPriest ,

Trojan Box Sets are great compilations that give an all over taste. Some you may have to search for but I had an excellent one which I might be able to get the Google drive link for later

Sinnerman ,

Original rude boy ska. The best of all time:

BONUS TRACK is it ska or is it rocksteady? either way one of my favorite songs in any genre:

Very old

torknorggren ,

Your "very old " is second wave. Further back is legit Jamaican Ska like the Skatalites and Desmond Dekker and early Wailers.
