I only know like three (Streetlight Manifesto, Catch 22, and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones). Does anyone know of any considerably good ska bands? That would be great.

All of the bands you listed are considered 3rd wave ska, so if you're looking for bands with at least a similar feel.... Reel Big Fish, MXPX, Less than Jake, The Hippos (excellent band), Save Ferris, Buck-o-nine, Voodoo Glow Skulls, or Mustard Plug, to name a few. All good stuff!

Man, those are horrible. You gotta go back to the 60's to find the true sound. Drop the white boy 3rd wave garbage and pick up anything by Desmond Dekker, Justin Hinds, The Melodians, the Techniques, the Skatalites, Toots and the Maytals, etc, etc, etc. Thats the good stuff.
thats a good answer.
Hepcat is a good ska band. (3rd Wave) But ya most 3rd wave stuff is crap. most 2nd wave and all of the 60's era ska is where its at.

For some fun two-tone ska, check out The Specials, Madness, The Special AKA, The Bodysnatchers, etc. My favorite Specials song is called "Ghost Town"...check it out, its AWESOME!
Reel Big Fish is also a very fun, yet newer ska band.

Cherry Poppin Daddies
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (both more straight swing than Ska, but still cool)
Reel Big Fish! (Great live album -- "Our live album is better than your live album" that has their best stuff)
Save Ferris (Especially their first album -- "It Means Everything")
Skankin' Pickle.

Good ska bands is an oxymoron. So, the answer to your question is no.
