Here's a hot number from one of my favorite "big" bands, Broken Social Scene. By big, I mean nineteen members (including Feist). By the way, they rule. This song dates back to 2003 from their "You Forgot It In People" album. The whole album is tremendous. Check it out.
Broken Social Scene is one of the contemporary pioneers of baroque pop. For the uninitiated, baroque pop "is characterized by a very large number of sounds, grand orchestrations featuring guitars, horns, woodwinds, and violins, unusual song structures, and an experimental, and sometimes chaotic production style...practitioners of the baroque pop style utilize instrumentation not traditional to rock such as the harpsichord, oboe, cello, or french horn."
I hope this was educational. I totally ripped it from Wikipedia because I have no original thought.
