Whenever I think ska I think third-wave ska and then I think Sublime and then I vomit. Someone reeducate me pls
Trust me when I say there's worse stuff out there than Sublime, but here's some better stuff too. Mostly canon, sort of the all time greats, with some personal favorites mixed in:
1st wave:
here's where I'm clueless honestly I just know some random stuff so if anyone wants to throw some stuff my way that'd be appreciated!
I don't believe in guilty pleasures, but whenever I listen to ska (even first-wave like Madness) and give it five stars, I think back to myself "why do I tolerate such tasteless music just because it's catchy?".
I still don't have an answer to that. Structurally, it's hard to find a type of music I'm so ready to hate as ska, but somehow I still love some of the recs mentioned.

This is an asinine opinion when you give far more cliched and supposedly "tasteless" genres a free pass.

I'll definitely admit that my definition of "tasteless" is a completely subjective one; I guess it's sorta like djent where it so commonly checks off all the boxes for what I don't aesthetically like in music.
Regardless, I must add one unparalleled masterpiece in the world of ska, one I memorized as a homeschool boy from my youth forever onward:
