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?

the temps all all motown groups, the searchers, the tremeloes, the cyrkle...and yep, the four seasons (go see jersey boys now), the critters, the tokens, the tradewinds(nyc pop)....and yep, everything by the bee gees up through 'main course' is unreal.

Bee Gees certainly got huge mileage out of their vocal harmonizing and it certainly became the most unique and recognizable aspect of their music, perhaps more so than any other.

Shangri-Las I just saw over in Music Direct that there is a album, two disc coming out. I remember seeing them in 1964.

For punk, you could add the Misfits to the list. Astro Zombies is a terrific song. This is punk, keep in mind.
