Yeah, it's a little off topic, but hey.. I'm curious.
I'm a huge fan of acappella music. Not so much the 'barbershop' type stuff. I enjoy contemporary stuff much more... both secular and religious.
Any other fans of acappella music here? What groups do you like?
Right now, I'm listening to a lot of Naturally 7... here's a vid if you're interested:

I actually have
a BOCA CD (Best of College Acappella) where one of the groups covers 'The Memory Remains'. It's pretty cool.
Then there's Spiralmouth... who covers NIN's 'Closer'... with a female lead.. and it is awesome.
if you ever listen to bluegrass...
There's a band, Iron Horse, who does bluegrass covers and they have a Metallica tribute CD. I don't own that one but I hear it's fantastic.

My favorites
are the Singers Unlimited (one album is a capella), who were probably the inspiration for Manhattan Transfer (who I also like, and may have a few a capella recordings) and Rare Silk (ditto).
Take 6 is even more amazing -- and I think they have some a capella stuff -- but they've gone pretty much 100% religious in their work for years now, and I'm not interested in that.
Any of these groups will give your ears a delightful feast!
Here's a Singers Unlimited example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QomOCWvODDQ
Take 6 is pretty awesome
although all their music starts to sound the same to me, after a while. I'll have to check out the other two you mentioned.
If you like take 6, you might should check out that link I provided. The groups have sort of a similar sound, to me.
Try "Blink 182"

I like Blink 182...
