Never sure where I sit with singers harmonising with themselves on records as it breaks the illusion that you're listening to a thing that happened as a single performance. I suppose the answer is there's times when I think it's fine, and there's times when I think, jeez let the band sing too.

I like the human voice basically - let's hear the people. It's just easy contrast built into a group - someone will have a soft voice, someone will be a shouter, maybe someone can do weirdly low notes. Get them all in there.

Obviously the best example is the Beatles, it means (as well as all the other things that made them great) every LP or live show is a variety show, with things constantly being different. But even as great as Freddie Mercury is, giving the odd vocal to Brian and Roger kept things interesting.
