Best White Vocal Group of the 1960s?

[NightTrain]

Poll question: Best White Vocal Group of the 1960s?

By "vocal group," I mean acts that prominently featured voices singing in harmony. As such, I left out such great '60s groups as the Beatles, Stones, Who, CCR, etc.

As always, "Other" is an option, too!

1. Crosby, Stills,Nash and Young

I gotta say, categorizing the Beatles as a group that did not prominently feature voices singing in harmony - I can't agree, especially the early years.

3. yup...

Second that notion motion.

[NightTrain]

7. Damn! I forgot about them.

Thank god for "Other!" :eyes:

[VOX]

8. Yes!!!

CSN and CSNY were very sophisticated with their vocals.

2. The Byrds

But I think they were much more than a "vocal group." I love that 12-string Rickenbacker guitar.

[Fenris]

5. Amen, sister!

ROGER MCGUINN IS A GUITAR GOD!

(and Crosby's harmonies are beautiful!)

[1monster]

4. The Brothers Four, The Lettermen,

And many others. The 60s were great for singing groups.

[arwalden]

6. Mamas & The Papas, The Association

Both... I couldn't decide.

[DontBlameMe]

9. CSN/CSNY

[minkyboodle]

14. excellent write in

They are high up for me as well

[Leprechan29]

10. Of those on the list

The Mamas and the Papas edge out the Beach Boys for me only because I'm more of a fan of the music of the Mamas and the Papas - both we amazing vocally

[Jade Fox]

11. Vogues-'Five O'clock World' and 'This Magic Town' too sublime!

[HEyHEY]

12. Did "Dionne and the Belmonts" break up before the 60s?

That would be my choice

[NightTrain]

15. Dion DiMucci went solo in 1960.

As such, I'd be more inclined to include Dion & The Belmonts on a '50s vocal-group poll.

[minkyboodle]

13. Beach Boys

Hard for those other groups to compete with Brian Wilson. Pet Sounds wins for them by itself IMO

[Mr Creosote]

16. Walker brothers

[non sociopath skin]

17. I'm puzzled, NightTrain. Could you explain a little more...

why the Beach Boys and Byrds are "in" but the Beatles and CCR are "out"?

18. Of these choices, Byrds, but

I probably would have voted for CSNY. Or the Chad Mitchell Trio.

[Bonhomme Richard]

19. Tough one..............

I went through stages with The Association, Four Seasons, The Byrds, Peter, Paul & Mary, Beach Boys, Mamma & the Papa's and CSN & Y. I have to go with CSN&Y because they encouraged me to first pick up a guitar. All were excellent.
