Best Guest Vocals

[savoloysam]

For me it doesn't get any better than Henry Rollins with Tool. He fits in so well.

On a more poppy note Dusty Springfield elevates The Pet Shop Boys beyond their own abilities with this one. Such a beautiful moment when her voice kicks in

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

That bloke from the B52s guesting on Big Sticks Hot Sauce.

Best thing he has ever done.

Hard to top Springfield with the Pet Shop Boys for me.

I have a soft spot for Thom Yorke on PJ Harvey's This Mess We're in too

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Steve Marriott's on Good Times by The Easybeats and he makes the song. His vocal is so much louder and more energetic than the whole band. All the excitement in the song comes from his backing vocal.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

The only good Missionary song was with Gibby Haynes guesting on Jesus Built My Hotrod.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Grace Jones on Election Day by Arcadia.

 

[hitmouse]

First one that comes to mind is Monster:

A lot of the best Fucked Up songs have guest vocalists as well, like Madeline Follin as Veronica on Queen of Hearts:

And there's Vince Staples on Hive as well (disclaimer for some very dark lyrics in that one):

 

[maomao]

Jack White as the 'female' voice on this:

 

[hitmouse]

Also, this Killer Mike track produced by and featuring guest vocals from El-P has to be up there as one of the best bits of foreshadowing in music history:

 

[Fez909]

I like Stevie's cameo on this - doesn't do much, but the track didn't need much.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Mimi Parker out of Low is on this one.

 

[May Kasahara]

 

[rubbershoes]

Merry Clayton on Gimme Shelter

You all know it

 

[SpookyFrank]

Chuck D on this one.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Blur with Phil Daniels. No not that one, this one which is a million times better.

 

[JimW]

Tammy and KLF

Never noticed that before but you're right!

 

[Ted Striker]

Dude (well, I assume 'Anohni'*) from Anohni & the Johnsons on Hercules & Love Affair - Blind.

Basically any excuse to hear the Frankie remix

[blossie33]

Aretha Franklin with George Michael

 

[jontz01]

Jack White as the 'female' voice on this:

I had no idea.

[May Kasahara]

[Jennaonthebeach]

Not sure its my favourite guest vocals ever, but it is my favourite song with guest vocals


Oh, and I do really like this.
