best vocal harmonies in rock


What r'n'r artists (or records) feature great vocal harmonies? To keep the list more manageable, let's stay with the post doo-wop period. Brian Wilson/Beach Boys, Todd Rundgren/Utopia and Lindsey Buckingham/Fleetwood Mac -among others- all qualify in my book. Who do you like?

This is all without any (yes I mean ZERO) instruments and was recorded on a Paris Subway. Naturaly 7. Somebody asked about Phil Collins drums on this song in another thread - well here you can hear drums but it is done all by voice!!!
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.
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.
