Definitely, definitely any of James Madison University’s a-cappella groups. My favorites are The Madison Project and Exit 245. They’re all mind-blowing.

The Real Group, mentioned earlier, is definitely incredible. Youtube their song “Gota,” and I guarantee you will be amazed.

Also, the University of Wisconsin’s Madhatters group is some of the best college a cappella I’ve heard.

I’ve always enjoyed the episodes of “Scrubs” that include Ted’s band, “The Useless Peons”. Their real name is The Blanks and they seem to do mostly commercials.

Phish does several a cappella songs live including Freebird complete with the epic guitar solo. Pretty funny. I’m sure there are versions on YouTube if you look.

No modern-era r&b mentioned? What about the great Boyz II Men with the Beatles’ “Yesterday” or Az Yet covering Chicago’s “Hard to Say I’m Sorry”?

How about the Nylons? Best known for “Kiss Him Goodbye,” but I think their best was the album “One Size Fits All.”
