Personally, 3rd wave ska is the best. It's like punk music played by high school band geeks.

A good 3rd wave ska band is Reel Big Fish

Rock Band + Horn Section = Ska. If singing is in a monotone (i.e. Streetlight Manifesto) and not have anyon notice or care because the bass kicks, the guitar is hot like fire, and the horn section is just plain better than everything else combined, you might be Ska. Also, if there are more than 5 people, it's a good indicator of ska.
River City Rebel's Horn section rocks just as much as the guitars.
