Ok, let's do it again right this time. Yes, Gentle Giant does have some terrific vocal arrangements. Although after listening to Octopus for the 1st time in almost 30 yrs, they still get on my nerves. So I still go with the Moodies!

I didn't put Queen in here because regardless of them now being in the Archives, I still consider them Glam-Rock with some Prog elements in their music. Also most of their harmonies are usually Freddie overdubbed 4 fold. I just don't think they should be in the Archives.

I third that although Yes is my favorite of the group and I do love the Moodies' harmonies. They actually all have great harmonies, guess that's why they're in the poll.

mmmm, I don't like that!!! If you listen carefully you can clearly hear Brian and Roger's voices. The only dirk who didn't sing at all was John (even though he faked it live)

Brian and Roger sing a lot on the Queen albums. They both do also lead vocals on several songs ('39, I'm In Love With My Car, Drowse...)

And yes, I voted for Gentle Giant. Their harmonic vocals are very impressive.
