Vocal harmony isn't as prevalent in rock anymore.
 

Or good harmony, anyway. Perhaps I'm not noticing or I'm not looking in the right places, but a lot of the lead/background vocal relationships in Beatles' songs in awesome. I was just listening to Honey Pie and as simple as it is, the vocals in that song is very cool. A lot of the pop rock acts from the 50's and 60's were awesome when it came to using multiple vocals. I hear a lot of neat stuff in R&B these days, but apart from a few select punk acts these days, I'm at a loss to where I can find this.

Three vocalists singing at the same time is usually very simple and lame when you do hear it. I'm hoping someone here can direct me to some good shit.

Well, what kind of shit do you normally listen to?

I most listen to metal, which almost always relies on a frontman with occasional background vocals. But nothing more than a brief accompaniment.

Most harmony vocals these days are the crap processed effects variety anyways. :mad:

Indeed.

It's messed up when the same guy is singing the chorus and doing the over the top lead at the same time.

I lik the harmonies on the Super Furry Animals album from last year, Phantom Power.

The Thrills use harmonies alot too, but I am not such a big fan of them.
