Crowded House do a nice harmony. Think of "Take the Weather With You".
10 years ago I worked with a girl band called Indiana that sang Roxette type songs in close harmony. Mixing the vox down was brilliant.
The most bizarre harmonies I've heard are from the Myst

The Moody Blues have done some excellent harmonies. Although not quite in the same camp as others mentioned here.

I'm still hearing harmonies, but mostly in country music and the various manifestations of country. At the moment, most seem to be going for very spacial sounding production on the records and, perhaps, perceiving harmonies as too much clutter in the mix. Given the ebbs and flows of production approaches, I'm sure this will change in the future.

Has anyone noticed how many brothers appear in this thread?
Jellyfish`s cover of Badfingers`, "No Matter What" is stunning, I appreciate the reminder.

When you hear Hanson testing the accoustics of a hall by singing unaccompanied harmony, you might feel different.
Away from their most well known commercial releases they have some very good quality stuff, but many record companies assume that this isn't what the public want to hear.
Yes, Hanson can rock, and they can sound miles away from harmonic, but that's deceptive.
