I like to hear a song with good vocal harmony, even if it’s only in the chorus.

I think the complexity and originality of their harmonies was vastly under-rated at the time.

The blend of voices was perfect.

I agree.
For me, Denny Doherty is one of the best voices of all time, and John Phillips arrangements were spectacular.
The harmonies on many Abba songs beautiful.

Although this song is a little repetitive, I do like the a cappella singing.

We were all in love with Michelle Phillips back in the day, Andy.

I know it isn't the best example of the Beach Boys harmonies (that would be Good Vibrations) but I never turn down a chance to post what I think is the best love song ever written. Plus the harmonies on the bridge as flawless.

These guys have had their moments:



The combination of Davey Johnstone, Nigel Olsson and the late Dee Murray gelled so incredibly well that Elton used them on virtually every track while they were all together in his band.

Nice sound, The Builder, but I’d have preferred it if I knew what they were singing about!

I’ll choose this Beach Boys Mozz, as it always sounds to me like they are having a good time!

Ladysmith Black Mambazo were almost faultless in their harmonies and played a massive part in the worldwide success of Paul Simon's 'Graceland' album. Particularly when they were given most of the song, such as on 'Homeless'.

I love CSN, douglas, but don’t like Neil Young.

I do like this cover of a Neil Young song, though.

A real oldie, Canary.
Here's another.

Anything by Lady Antebellum (now renamed Lady A) but really like this one.
No arguments with Barbara Ann BB. To be fair, anything Beach Boys recorded from their mid Sixties peak would be a good call.
my choir performed this song once, which if you are standing in it being bathed by the sound is quite extraordinary (this vid is not my choir BTW)
The Every Brothers take some beating for harmony.
I think that this is quite fantastic:
Something a little more up to date. Fleet Foxes have some fantastic harmonies, but this is probably their best known song.
