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?

Slaw's mention of the Jayhawks reminded me to mention "The Reivers" AKA America's great lost rock band. They had some fantastic, albeit quirky, harmonies on each of their records.

Dixie Chicks (suggested by my wife). Are any of you familiar with the accapella group "The Bobs" (of which no member is really named Bob)? They are very funny at times, quite amazing and will drive you nuts after too many plays in a row.
