Great recordings with great harmonies from 1960s

The passing of Brian Wilson has me thinking about excellent recordings of bands featuring great harmonies and production from the 1960s.  What do you consider the best recorded and most interesting album(s) from The Beach Boys (besides “Pet Sounds”)?  Other bands from that era?  The New York Times yesterday noted during one later period of Mr. Wilson’s life he was fixated on listening to The Ronettes.  Would like to hear your opinions.

Brian was greatly influenced by "The Four Freshmen", they are good. "Peter, Paul & Mary" , "Seekers", "Simon & Garfunkel", "The Vogues", "The Tokens", "Anita Kerr Singers", "Ray Charles Singers". These just some of the great harmonies Brian would have been listening to in these years.

 

As for some of BB's other releases I really like, Smile and Surfs Up.
