Quoted from harihead

I think it's partly because John and George's vocals disappear into each other that you get that unique "Beatles" sound. They really do have a similar sound, which is strange, because I think they sound unique as a lead vocalist.

One fun bit for me is watching John clown around with "I'm Down" at the Shea Stadium concert. He deliberately goofs his harmony, once singing it a full octave down, and other times forgetting to sing at all. So you can hear what George is singing because John is in happy land!

Hi HH - This is one of my favorite things to watch/listen to also! I love it, first of all because they're having so much fun, and also because like you said it is almost like a clinic in their harmonies because of the way that John drops in and out.

The Beatles, all the way.

No doubt in my mind. I muchhhh preferr the beatles. *luff <3<3<3*

Quoted from Sandra

Isn't that a bit of an understatement? I mean, I know we're not talking about Bob, but "was also substantial" doesn't quite cut it I think.

wasn't meant to demean Mr. Zimmerman. I've been a major Dylan devotee since 1965. We were talking about harmonies, not the lyrical superiority of the man from Hibbing.

Quoted from Andy Smith

....But The Beach Boys had that unique classic sound that no-one can touch!

There's something very special about "sibling harmony."  The Everly Brothers is another example.

Love Phil and Don...(no accident Paul mentioned them in "Let 'Em In")

best harmonizing (IMO) belong to Beach Boys, Everly Bros. and Hollies.

The Mamas and the Papas were also very good.
