I posted my list - focusing on sibling harmonies - below. Note that The Ronettes' "Be My Baby" - their vocals with Phil Spector's Wall of Sound production - was the great inspiration to Brian Wilson for his developing studio skills. Wilson wrote "Don't Worry Baby" for Ronnie, though Spector turned it down.

Not just talent. Many of these recording have double tracked vocals where the singer sings the part multiple times and overlays the takes to create a fuller sound and cancel out imperfections.

A lot of bands used multi tracking for effects. Queen was talented, never used synths until 1980. But Bohrap, vocal overlays to create a chorus sound. That's talent to even come up with that and to work to record overlays. I don't think it's cheating. It's art..

Simon and Garfunkel's "Scarborough Fair/ Canticle" is a harmonic masterpiece that outshines "Sounds of Silence" in the evocative harmony department. The melancholy minor chord harmonies transform the traditional toung-in-cheek courting song into a sad longing piece interweaving with the tragic anti-war message of Simon's "Canticle".

This voice-over is also super annoying and overly self-satisfied. Excellent songs though but I had to skip and stop because I just couldn't take it anymore.

As a teenager from the 60s -What a wonderful trip down memory lane, beautiful harmony and lyrics.💐

I love the 60s and 70s music. Damn good talent. I only wish music was like that today. Today's music is garbage. I'm old school, well I'm an old lady

Seven Bridges Road has always given me goosebumps.

Gotta cast my vote for the Doobie Brothers. Incredible harmonies on The Captain and Me, Spirit, Toulouse Street, and even later on with What a Fool Believes. Several great singers in that band.

The Association deserves to be on this list.

Pure harmonies, no artificial enhancement.

There is ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT that The Everly Brothers sang THE GREATEST harmonies EVER in R&R/Country music. This song is great, but so is every song they sang. Listen to "Let it Be Me," or their final hit, "On the Wings of a Nightingale," written by one of their biggest fans, Sir Paul McCartney. When John & Paul were young musicians singing together, they often imagined themselves as Don & Phil.

Nothing from Peter, Paul, and Mary?!

"Nights on Broadway" is my favorite. pretty much straight up rock-n-roll, with their harmonies, the falsettos they came to be known for, before the disco.

Every Bee Gees song could be on this list, but yeah, "Too Much Heaven" is a masterpiece.

I was getting near the end and started to worry that The Everly Brothers would be overlooked! Glad to see them at the top!

I seen the whole Osmond family in the 70's and they ALL sang acapella "I Believe" that was harmony and CHILLS

Starland Vocal Band 's Afternoon Delight. Love the harmonies, especially the moving parts.

About damn time that the Carpenters got some love!!! Richard and Karen were the masters of layering vocals and harmonies! This list wouldn’t be complete without them!

Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville with I don't know much!

Extreme, Wilson Phillips, Crosby/Stills/Nash, Queen, Righteous Bros. among the greatest harmonies of all-time, no doubt

I LOVE that you guys are bringing late 60s and 70s pop songs into light again. So refreshing for once!

One thing that made all of these performers great? They worked their ąsses off. The Everly Brothers started as young teens and practiced like fiends for years to perfect their wonderful sound. Simon and Garfunkel took inspiration from them and they, too worked for years to polish their perfect harmonies. We are the beneficiaries.

"The Sound of Silence" never fails to give me chills, and I've even sung it in my school choir.

'All I have to do is dream' the most beautiful song on list

One of my favorite Beatles' songs is "If I Fell." Touching lyrics, a simple accompaniment, and harmonies that wind around each other like a braid. Go listen to it and be reminded of its greatness!

The layered harmonies of the Carpenters! They had such a totally different sound than anyone else. So beautiful, and Karen Carpenter had such an "Angel Voice"!!!

​@@pianomanslcand she had perfect pitch. Not all that common unfortunately.

The Hollies (ANY song) need to be on this list, along with the Electric Light Orchestra (check out Ticket to the Moon, beautiful, moving, polyphonic song). And while Thank You for the Music by ABBA is a great song, it doesn't contain their most evocative harmonies; check out Knowing Me, Knowing You, What's the Name of the Game, and my fav: Baby You Owe Me One. Other notables would include Herman's Hermits (No Milk Today, Baby Can't You Hear My Heartbeat), The Zombies (Time of the Season), and many of the songs on Linda Ronstadt's Simple Dreams album. Also: Little River Band, Steve Miller Band, Indigo Girls, Peter and Gordon, the Drifters,... okay, so we need like, the top 500 list of goose-bumply harmonies!!!

What about the band Yes? Their harmonies between Jon Anderson and Chris Squire were amazing. I would have thought you could have included some Prog Rock musicians as well especially since this genre has the most talented performers ever.
