Yes from the list- although most are only three part vocals. Transatlantic did (sad that there will probably be no more) a fantastic job with 4 part harmonies

Yes from that list.

Also, Queen, Gentle Giant and Glass Hammer (especially on Shadowlands. Love the female harmony parts)

Has to be YES!!!! Even though I love the Moody Blues.

Though, Gentle Giant on the other hand, would have made the choice impossible .

Past all mortals as we, here we can be.

Hah, you beat me to it... when Morse, Portnoy, Stolt, and Trewavas all sing at the same time, it's incredibly powerful and beautiful.

I agree with those who said Gentle Giant, though... nobody can touch them in terms of vocal harmonies. And, like many others, I voted for Yes from the choices in the poll.

Well I can't expect the Corrs to be here  so I went with Moody Blues. Specifically with In The Eyes of a Child in my head.

I'll chime in that GG and Queen have got to be in the running.

Out of this group, I'd say it's a close race between Yes and The Moody Blues.

I, for one, love Porcupine Tree's vocal harmonies. "Mellotron Scratch" from Deadwing has a phenomenal vocal section at the end.

When there were four of them singing, the Moodies were untouchable.......Isn't Life strange still evokes goosebumps.........too bad things changed and we all grow older......

I've always enjoyed Chris's harmony with Jon......but Steve has never been a fave for me when it comes to backing vox.........pee-you..........

GG's harmonics and counterpoint were always interesting to me, but I never cared much for their lead vox.....

Moodies for me!

Gentle giant should be there. Also, Banco del mutuo S, Premiatta, Metamorfosi, Locanda delle fate and some other italian band around have great vocals

I agree that Gentle Giant have the quintessential vocal harmony; others can't compare!

The harmony vocals on YES annoy me most of the times. Am I the only one ?

Gentle Giant are by far better in harmony. Just listen to On reflection !!

BJH had better harmonies that all of 'em, except maybe the Moody Blues.
Listen to Live Tapes from '78...the vocals are beyond beautiful.
