I could post at least a dozen 50's doo-wop groups. Here are The Moonglows.

John Lennon & Paul McCartney. Two distinctly different voices that blended perfectly on so many songs.
Ultimately yes, they were the best. ...but they were heavily influenced by Phil and Don.

I have to admit, I like it when Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson really belt them out.

These guys were pretty good too. I decided to not post “California Dreaming”as it’s become cliched these days.
I was so in love with Michelle Phillips when I was a kid.

Not sure if this counts, but Boston had massive harmonizing sound tracks. It was all done by lead singer Brad Delp who sang all of the lead and harmony/backing vocals himself by multitracking and stacking his own voice over and over on the tape.

It’s not the Beatles and even Paul McCartney would agree. It’s the beach boys. Shut down the thread
Skip to 0:40.
If you have a better comparison from the Beatles show me
Lennon mixed with McCartney (and sometimes with Harrison thrown in for good measure) just had "it", despite not being overly virtuosic. The answer is The Beatles and it isn't even close.

Bingo
There's really nothing that they're not better than The Beach Boys at. ...vocals, musicianship, songwriting...
...and that's not a knock on the Beach Boys. That goes for anyone in comparison to them.

Yep, ...
And I actually like a lot of The Beach Boys' music.

While not my favorite from them, what these gals do in this chorus is amazing.
