I miss harmony

My observation is that most music these days, when there is a singer, follows the lead-singer (possibly with backup) accompanied by a band pattern; and that when there is harmony it is only in the chorus with the back-up singers often somewhat subdued. I wish there was more music where there was harmony throughout. I like vocal harmony. I miss it. It was prevalent in the Beatles who even had harmony in the non-refrain bits. But has been used in only a few bands since then.

I've thought about this off and on for a long time but was reminded when playing Rockband.

There's nothing like the 80's. Music of the 90's and now just hasn't cut it for me.
