Great recordings with great harmonies from 1960s

The passing of Brian Wilson has me thinking about excellent recordings of bands featuring great harmonies and production from the 1960s.  What do you consider the best recorded and most interesting album(s) from The Beach Boys (besides “Pet Sounds”)?  Other bands from that era?  The New York Times yesterday noted during one later period of Mr. Wilson’s life he was fixated on listening to The Ronettes.  Would like to hear your opinions.

Another fine cover in 2006/from a pair of 60’s smash hits.

Barry Manilow duet of “Cherish/ Windy” with The Association.

pay heed to the novel interweaving of the two hits contrasting refrains around the 3 minute mark of the song. A well engineered production.

Kudos for his shoutout to The Vogues. They are among the few groups that sound as good live as their studio masters

“ Turn Around, Look At Me”
