Best Guest Vocals

[philosophical]

Are we talking live or recordings?

TBH, I always assumed it was Madonna. And I had no clue for years the other vocal was Osbourne. I thought it was a black woman for some reason but it was the prince of darkness all along.

No, I don't think I had any idea it was Ozzy either!

Any I guess. I went to see Robert Plant in the 90's and that twat from The Black Crows came on for a duet. All it did was show him up as the shit vocalist he is.

Caliméro by Stereolab with Brigitte Fontaine. Amusing to me, because for ages I didn't realise it was a guest vocal and just thought it was Laetitia doing a sort of pastiche of breathy 60s French pop.

was a euphemism for ‘CBA to go into it’

Can't be arsed I assume?
I suppose the complete history of the song is a little complicated but the reason they didn't use Madonna wasn't. They didn't like what she did. . . and then when they did want to use it (because she was famous) Madonna didn't grant permission.

But thank you for the clarification. I didn't know why you were laughing.

& Sinead O'Connor with The The

God I hate that album. Every song is a stinker.
I was a big fan of pretty much everything Matt Johnson had done up to this point. I will never forget the disappointment I felt on buying that LP (and Cassette) on the day of release. I lay on my bed with my eyes closed and played the whole thing through. Gutted.
Maybe it would be a grower?

Spoiler

it wasn't
