Music Recs:

Can anybody recommend groups that have men & women actually singing together? Not just "the singer is one gender and the backup folks are the other."

The ones I've come up with so far are:
Peter, Paul & Mary
The Weavers
The Mamas & The Papas
Jefferson Airplane
The B-52s

I've never heard of The Weepies, but I can't believe I forgot Fleetwood Mac.

Thank you!

The Weepies are sort of a folk/soft-rock duo that write beautiful, meloncholoy, and catchy songs. Greg Howe got me hooked.

I am a bit surprised at the Mac-less-ness too! :-P I think Rumors is one of the best albums ever made!

The New Pornographers have at least 4 people who have sung at one time or another -- two men, two women. Dunno if they count, because they're technically a supergroup, but it's a big part of their sound.

Oh, and the 5th Dimension ("Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In").

Meh. I think I had blocked their existence from my mind... but, they do meet the conditions.

Thank you!
