Ska Music o_O?

[Depren]

Yea I'm a die hard ska fan and a rude boy, was wondering if anyone out there likes today's ska music. There could possibly be a thread out there about it but I'm not sure. Just a thread for anyone who does like this genre of music, any wave is preferred, from back in its origins to two tone, and third wave.

Just to get some discussion(if there any ska fans out there) I have seen Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake, Streetlight Manifesto, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Against All Authority, Public Access, and Bomb the Music Industry. I've had the pleasure of meeting all members of Streetlight,(Tom K. is awesome) and have to talked to Chris, Roger, and trombonest (can't remember name >.>) from LTJ.

Hard to find anymore Rude Boys or Gals out there so anyone who wants to discuss the best music on earth (yep) don't hesitate to post!

I love Ska, but, spanish ska like Ska-p, Los fabulosos cadillacs and Panteon Rococó
I have only heard real big fish's cover of hotel california, of the groups you say.
This is one of the best spanish ska songs:

The Specials are a little more my style and are definitely more old school than some of the other bands mentioned earlier like the Bosstones and such. Of course, even bands like The Specials represent the second wave of ska. The style originated in the 50's and 60's in Jamaica with bands like The Skatalites (who will always be among my favorite bands) and many of the other Studio One bands.
