singing solo is impressive enough but
these bangs bring all their vocal
talents together and they do it really
really well to show you welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
rock vocal harmonies for this list we’ve
looked at all rock songs irrespective of
era that include or are built around a
vocal harmony okay as always however
only one song per group is allowed
love you isn’t the right number 10 go
your own way Fleetwood Mac and the
change thingy
a harmony all the more impressive
because of the context in which it’s
sung Fleetwood Mac’s go your own way is
a breakup song that beats all others
with lyrics penned by band’s frontman
Lindsey Buckingham about the breakdown
of a relationship he shared with
bandmate Stevie Nicks when the pair sing
together for the iconic chorus it’s
shivering ly good a simple harmony as
well it invites us all to sing along
with them
number nine no excuses Alice in Chains
yes
arguably one of the biggest bands to
emerge out of the Seattle grunge scene
Alice in Chains achieved an indisputably
unique sound with our next song
Laine Stanley and Jerry Cantrell paired
together for a performance that vibrates
through the listener seeming to linger
in our ears just a little bit longer
No
with lyrics that tackle Stanley and
controls musical relationship as well as
the former’s drug addiction there’s an
eerie echo like feel here and an intense
intimacy generated by the shared vocals
number eight lionize Eagles city girls
who seem to find out
the Eagles have an especially good ear
when it comes to vocal harmonizing and
we might have included you kid in town
next but instead we’ve looked at lionize
a Grammy Award winning record Glenn Frey
took lead vocals for lionize but was
brilliantly backed up by the rest of his
band
they fall again
the lyrics are a linear story detailing
the rise and fall of a young woman who
cheats on her aging partner with the
major harmonies occurring on every
chorus you can
by the end of the song everybody is
joining it
number seven because the Beatles most
songs on today’s countdown feature a
vocal harmony but this song simply is a
vocal harmony
Oh Israel
John Lennon Paul McCartney and George
Harrison come together for this track
unlike any other turning relatively
basic literal lyrics into an incredibly
haunting strangely surreal experience a
rare Beatles song to use three singers
throughout its entirety because steers
the vocal harmony into an alternative
direction and remains a standout record
for a band whose back catalog is never
likely to be beaten
you
number six all I have to do is dream the
Everly Brothers I want you in Mom’s when
song that scored a u.s. charts position
for four separate acts across four
straight decades between the 50s and the
80s the Everly Brothers originally took
it to number one in 1958 his dream
another record entirely harmonized the
image of Phil and Dawn Everly sharing a
single microphone whilst performing is
one of the most enduring pictures of
early rock and roll I back and I
the pair pulled together for a unique
sound that’s almost instantly
recognizable and infinitely playable
injury
is this the real life is this just
fantasy number 5 Bohemian Rhapsody queen
escape from reality as if Freddie
Mercury’s voice wasn’t sensational
enough on its own and there are some
spectacular solos in this song alone
when Queen come together they really
know how to nail it I see a little BuChE
BuChE will you do the fandango many of
the harmonies in Bohemian Rhapsody are
actually two complexly overdub to
perform live
thus the iconic kaleidoscope video
accompaniment a record that features on
the 1975 album a Night at the Opera
that’s exactly what this song sounds
like it’s an epic
number four sweets Judy blue eyes crosby
Stills and Nash to the fine
an exceptionally complex composition the
beauty about our next record is that it
creates a jamming with your friends
feeling something inside is telling me
that I got your secret sweet Judi blue
eyes is another epic measuring in at 7
minutes and 28 seconds and whose lyrics
written by Stephen Stills following his
breakup with fellow musician Judy
Collins
he’s begun
however there’s a relaxed
go-with-the-flow kind of vibe achieved
largely by its scattered style of
harmony asking me since she’s so free a
feature that became a trademark for the
trio it’s an arm around the shoulder for
a friend in need and a mighty fine
record
number three the sound of silence Simon
and Garfunkel hello darkness my old
friend I’ve come to talk with you again
another example of an eerie harmony from
open to closed this song is Simon and
Garfunkel at their goosebump
inducing best in Restless dreams I loved
our streets of cobblestone with lyrics
detailing mankind’s inability to
communicate with one another especially
when it’s most vital to do so it proved
the duo’s first hit and a foundation for
their legendary careers capable with us
speaking people hearing had this name
the opening line allegedly came to Simon
when as a boy he used to use the
acoustics of his bathroom to practice
singing with the lights switched off
silence
number two California dreamin the Mamas
and the Papas
a song taken from an album called if you
can believe your eyes and ears there’s
no hiding what you’re hearing here
probably the most well known record ever
released by the Mamas & the Papas
California dreamin has been a staple
summer soundtrack ever since the mid 60s
the lyrics were written by vocalist John
and Michelle Phillips during a cold New
York winter but they’re applicable to
most any listener who has a hankering
for sunshine and music doesn’t get much
more hummable than this
before we unveil our topic here are a
few honorable mentions
Oh
is tell us why you
and I turn around and there you go and
Michael you would fall and turn the
white snow red a strong big pot number
one Good Vibrations Beach Boys has there
ever been a more aptly named piece of
music Good Vibrations
is a song unlike anything else before or
since thanks in large part to the liquid
harmonies around which it is built
a record remembered by Beach Boys
frontman Brian Wilson as the summation
of his musical vision
it’s a high-pitched pulling together of
one of the most influential bands the
world has ever seen
and we’re with them for every oom bop
bop and Nenana these vibrations aren’t
just good they’re the greatest

harmony have we forgotten
