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?

at the peak of their powers,csn&y was unequaled.they sounded just as good in person as on recordings.a close second were the beach boys.their recordings were top shelf,but in person ,not quite as impressive.

I heard the Beach Boys 3 times in person in the 60's, never a problem did I notice.

When I heard Crosby & Nash 40 years ago their vocal blend was amazing.

Sometimes bad monitor systems can really throw off a vocalist.
I have heard questionable live recordings of both the Beach Boys and especially CSN&Y.
