Recently I listened to the Specials self-titled 1979 album and really enjoyed it. I've been wanting to try out some Ska music for awhile now because it's a genre I don't know a whole lot about. What recommendations do you guys have as far as Ska music?

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.
