best vocal harmonies in rock

Shame Queen could not perform (to my knowledge, correct me If I am wrong), Bohemian Rhapsody in its entirety live.

Meatloaf and whatever female he is trying to croon at the time.

Darts (70's british band)more pop than rock.

Rock Follies.(also 70's).

Shame Queen could not perform (to my knowledge, correct me If I am wrong), Bohemian Rhapsody in its entirety live.

The chorus is heavily overdubbed it would hardly sound like an operatic chorus if only four sang it. Think of Verdi's Chorus of Hebrew Slaves...that is the effect they wanted.

I'll second the Beach Boys, incredible harmonies

Gawdbless,

With "Bohemian Rhapsody", you're talking about a song with so many tracks on it that the original tape master literally became transparent due to all of the layers the band kept adding.

No one in the world could duplicate that.

If you're suggesting that Queen didn't deliver the goods onstage, have a look-see at this - I'd say they hit the harmonies pretty impressively - not to mention the rest of the musicianship going on.

Second the Everly Bros. didn't see the Eagles listed. Maybe not rock but Ronstadt, Harris and Parton had some great harmonies
