Best Guest Vocals

[Idaho]

David Bowie and Mick Ronson

 

[Jennaonthebeach]

Lennon backing Bowie

 

[Indeliblelink]

Not sure it counts as a guest vocal as he co-wrote it but Barry Gibb on Dionne Warwick's Heartbreaker, maybe more a case of Dionne Warwick doing guest vocals on an uncredited Bee-Gees song.

 

[Silas Loom]

Ofra Haza on Temple of Love.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Very happy memories listening to this while off my tits on LSD.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Chuck D on this one.

Is he the one on 'Cool Thing' as well?

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Mick Jagger on Carly Simon - You're so vain.

Carly Simon on Kissing With Confidence!

 

[Idaho]

Carly Simon on Kissing With Confidence!

I was going to post that, but it's it guest vocals? I thought it was all originally pseudonyms?

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Then jack white isn't allowed either.

Simon only guests on that track.

 

[danski]

Beth Ditto on this.

(I don't like her other stuff as she 'sings' too much, like that Florence woman. Too many unnecessary embellishments)

 

[maomao]

Is he the one on 'Cool Thing' as well?

No, that's LL Cool J. I think it's samples from an interview he did with Kim Gordon rather than a 'guest vocal' though:



ETA: I'm wrong. It's a Chuck D guest vocal though inspired by LL Kool J and has a sample from Going Back to Calli (by LL) on it.

Merry Clayton

 

[Dystopiary]

1000 Mirrors - Asian Dub Foundation featuring Sinéad O'Connor

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Does this count X-Press 2 feat. David Byrne? Ach, I'll post it anyway as TUNE!!

 

[Chz]

I'm not really a fan of the song (even though I am an REM fan), but it's Patti Smith so it deserves a mention.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Springsteen spoken word at 9mins

 

[Silas Loom]

Do we count people who have perfectly reasonable recorded conversations about little fluffy clouds in Arizona, or the sad decline of Coney Island, which are subsequently hijacked as guest vocals?

 

[Dystopiary]

I'm not really a fan of the song (even though I am an REM fan), but it's Patti Smith so it deserves a mention.

In that case...

Blue Oyster Cult featuring Patti Smith:

Ludacris has some great ones:

Country queen meets metal God!
