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?

Wow! This zombie lives. Some great music here. I watched the Eagles docu that has been around the past few weeks and boy it was a good one. Speaking of Zombies, it was nice to see Joe Walsh back from the dead and with a beautiful young daughter. Good for him. Like a lot of us, he probably would have done things differently if he knew he would live this long.
The Eagles were a crazy band with some huge personalities but they can sing harmony with the best of them with some very unconventional voices.
Has anyone mentioned Grateful Dead? I'm not a DH but I love 'em.
I think the Beach Boys are the gold standard for me. There were more than a few great harmonizers in the 50's and 60's though. Peter Paul am Mary maybe? Not my cup of tea but they sure are popular in New England.
