Forgot to add one - the acapella group Straight No Chaser - I was going to put it in the New Christmas Music thread, just picked up the CD 'Holiday Spirits' yesterday after hearing it in the store

Kind of a Beach Boys/doo wop style - turns out they're from Indiana University, my bride's alma mater - started out as a chorale group at IU and a video 5 or 6 years later of an old IU performance went viral on YouTube with 8 million hits and got them an Atlantic Records contract last year

Gonna go out and pick up the second album later since it's a big hit with the Mrs...:love:
