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?

Some of my favorite Beatles harmonies are from early performances, such as "This Boy" on the Ed Sullivan Show and
"To Know Her is to Love Her" from Live at the BBC. Great stuff.
And I forgot to mention Peter, Paul and Mary on my list.

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.
