No vocal groups, ala Destiny's Child but actual musicians who write, compose, and perform music.

I'll second the nomination for Rush. The new album is fantastic.

Oysterhead released an album last year, if memeory serves. Try Amazon or the online retailer of your choice or jump on a file sharing app.

The opposite of say, hiking, where groups of three are inehyrently unstable; the music trio tends to be a productive influence on music.

My namesake merits inclusion of discussion as well.
