Like Seals & Croft; America; Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; The Steely Dan song "Reeling in the Years" -- is that a subgenre? If so, what is is called and who else is in it?

It is a genre. It is called "Fleet Foxes".

Oh no the ones that did that hymn? I don't care for that. Midlake's second album is closer, for what I'm thinking of.

Certainly it's a subgenre, but I don't know that it's ever been given a definitive name. Maybe Soft Rock or yacht rock, etc.

Other practitioners: Loggins & Messina, England Dan and John Ford Coley, Firefall

was a country/folk tradition that i guess entered rock by way of the everlys, right? and then simon and garfunkel and csn.

country still has it (brooks & dunn, montgomery gentry, big & rich, etc) but i guess it sort of faded from rock. seems ripe for indie-fication (that's just an observation, not a request).

don't forget the doobies (who obv. came more from the soul/r&b vocal group thing that came out of gospel and doo-wop):

and the band:

funny how these things go in cycles. even r&b harmony groups seem in remission right now. (in favor of autotuned guest-spot duets.)
