Outside of less than Jake and voodoo glow skulls there aren't any good Ska bands are there?

You're failing. So you blame congess, the president, you blame Greece. But if you looked in the mirror and blamed yourself, you wouldn't like it very much.

There's a handful of bands in the genre I like, but in general I find it extremely annoying. Mainly because of how often the horns that should be adding something meaningfully unique to the song are instead effectively just a sound plug in on a keyboard, banging out flat note after flat note because they either don't have a trumpet player, or the one they have isnt talented enough to actually show off.

The ska bands I like are probably considered not REAL ska! like Sublime, Less Than Jake and Slightly Stoopid.

Great genre (including ska punk) but it is a little insulting how its just become shorthand for rock bands with ska influences and a lot of people arent even referring to Jamaican ska when asking questions like this

I have a few ska or ska adjacent songs on my playlist. It's fun, but not something I listen to a lot. Usually have to be in a certain mood for it.

Don't have a strong opinion of it.
Sometimes it's just sounded like a regular rock music, but with trumpet added.

I heard real ska on NPR once, and it bears zero resemblance to what we call ska in America.

Trumpets. Lots of trumpets.

Also I only just learned it's actually originally a Jamaican genre. So that's neat.

I think Me First and the Ginme Gimmes labeled themselves a ska-punk cover band.

They're a fun listen.

I don't remember much of their music, but I know I heard a lot of the group called Five Iron Frenzy back in the day. They were definitely a popular ska band.
