Alright, so lately I've been really getting into Ska punk, and I want to know what the essential albums for any ska punk fan are... so far I've listened to and loved:

Big D And The Kids Table - "How It Goes"
Goldfinger - "Hang-Ups"
Reel Big Fish - "Turn The Radio Off"
Streetlight Manifesto - "Somewhere In The Between"

Any relevant recommendations are welcome, thanks for the help. :-)

I've really been getting more in to ska lately too, I'd highly recommend Tim Armstrongs solo album "A Poets Life" and The King Blues "Under the Fog".

Bold ones are the best, but I prefer the Streetlight version of KN.
...And out come the Wolves is probably my favorite album of all time.

Both.

Also, Five Iron Frenzy - Five Iron Frenzy 2: Electric Boogaloo

The Suicide Machines and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Their entire discography is fairly essential. On the old school tip? Skankin' Pickle is 100% necessary too.

If you dig female-fronted bands? Save Ferris is pretty rad and the Dance Hall Crashers are classic! There's also a band on Victory now with a chick singer that's pretty awesome - Chase Long Beach.

I prefer the Catch 22 version mostly because I didn't like waiting three years only to get a cover album from Streetlight back in 2006. Oh wait I had the same thing happen to me again this year. I am definitely not in favour of this 99 songs of repetition. Need new songs please!

Less Than Jake and Catch 22 are some more obvious good ones. I still like them.
