Great stuff on here. Good one subby. Love the inclusion of Louie, Fred, and Ray. A good mix on this list of old and "newish" songs.

And as a guy that came of age in the 90's I love the addition of #22. My cousin and I used to cruise around and when that song came on he would automatically take Cornell's part and me Vedder, and we would sing the hell out of it. Great song, good times.

But where is this one? (new window)

/love that one
//gen x-er
///drunk slashies!!

Tammy Wynette and the KLF. This made my night.

Great list.

Would've included "Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man" somewhere in there, probably in addition to "Islands in the Stream", but you can't have everything.

I love "Candy", "Under Pressure", and "Fairytale of New York".

I guess you can't include two Pogues-related tunes, but I really, really, really love Haunted by Sinead O'Connor & Shane MacGowan. It's one of my favorite songs ever.

Great list, thanks subby!

Very good list. I like that it has some Dre and Snoop.

My personal fave is "Baby Don't Go" by Dwight Yoakum and Sheryl Crow. Very good sound.

#19 FTW... Peter Gabriel rocks and Kate Bush's voice is flat-out sexy...

/I'll be in my bunk

'Under Pressure' is one of my favorite songs of all time. I also love the version with Annie Lennox (poppy) for the Freddy Mercury tribute.

A top (insert number here) list that's pretty good. How'd this get on Fark.

"Candy" (1990)
by Iggy Pop and Kate Pierson

Love that song.

Always thought Kate Pierson's talent was mostly wasted on the B-52s. I liked 'Roam' though.

special_patrol_group: 'Under Pressure' is one of my favorite songs of all time. I also love the version with Annie Lennox (poppy) for the Freddy Mercury tribute.

The Lennox version is okay. The version Bowie does now with his bass player, Gail Ann Dorsey, is awesome.

Look for yourself.

This is apparently from 1995. I saw it in 2005 or so and it was even better.

Wow. Damn. Thanks for the link, that was awesome!

I like these, and the thread shows more in a positive, supporting way.

Seriously, is this BizarroFark or something?

tallguywithglasseson: "Candy" (1990)
by Iggy Pop and Kate Pierson

Love that song.

Always thought Kate Pierson's talent was mostly wasted on the B-52s. I liked 'Roam' though.

I never realized it before (I have not heard the song in years), but during the verses, Kate sounds identical to Belinda Carlisle.

I would've added Whenever I Call You Friend, but not really sure what I'd take out so that it would fit. Also, U Got the Look would be another chocie.

Wow. A top-25 list that wasn't pulled out of the writer's arse on deadline. Only one minor quibble.

Out:

"Endless Love"

In:

"Tramp" - Otis Redding & Carla Thomas

It's been 20 years...
God I love that song. Thanks Subby!!

#14 "Candy" (1990)
by Iggy Pop and Kate Pierson

A couple really good tracks here I had heard before, thanks.

Wow, I didn't hate that list. In fact, I actually liked it.

"Close My Eyes Forever" Ozzy and Lita Ford. But then I am a child of the eighties.

Greatest you say?

Has everyone seen "Wilf & Wife ?" (new window)

This show aired on Rogers Cable in Southern Ontario in the 80s.

Good List.

Would like to have included Morrissey & Siouxsie, "Interlude" tho.

I just remembered how much I was/am in love with Kate Pierson.

Right on brother! Roam is one of my all time favorite songs. Kate's voice in that one blows me away.

/thanks subbie. I forgot all about Candy.

steve earle and cheryl crow; Time Has Come Today

Frank and Nancy Sinatra ; something stupid

First no Johnny and June doing Jackson for Live a Folsom? for shame...also

Out:

"Endless Love"

In:

"Tramp" - Otis Redding & Carla Thomas

/this

Sarlacc vagina!

I LOL'D!

Love "World Destruction". I disagree that it's "the first song to merge rock and rap", however ... let's not forget Rapture (1981), for starters.

what, no Neville / Ronstadt "Don't know much" ?

I would have added Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston "It Takes Two" or something by Sam And Dave, but that list is surprisingly cool.

Nothing by The Everly Brothers either????

It would be nice to add "Temptation Bout To Get Me" by The Knight Brothers but I doubt there's any footage of them.

Great list. But I don't think that's the original music video for "No More Tears (Enough is Enough)". Clips from Austin Powers, Showgirls, Not Another Teen Movie, Sound of Music, Shrek, Charlie's Angels, Moulin Rouge... and was that 'Priscilla Queen of the Desert'? Evidently assembled by a big fan of dance movies.

Great list. A possible addition:

"Please Read the Letter" Plant/Krauss

My deep Allison Krauss crush has nothing to do with it. Really... honest.

dgc...ack! Didn't even think of Neville/Ronstadt...that is a glaring omission for sure. I'll add it soon.

Pulled Pork...I guess I should have clarified that World Destruction was the first song (I can recall) that took a rock and rap star and had them record together. I'm sure I'm wrong with that, too, though.

I for one am shocked that Lemmy and Wendy O. Williams' rendition of "Stand by Your Man" was overlooked.

Great list, Rberry, but get out of my head. Four times I thought of a duet I liked, figured "no way in hell he'd have thought of that one", scrolled down a couple more and there it was.

The Simon & Garfunkel catalogue?

/liked that they put Ella & Louie at #1

I second adding Don't Know Much.
But, what do I know?

What, no love for the awesomeness that is John Lydon and Afrika Bambaataa? Man, I love that song.

Amazingly good list. Never heard the Strummer/Cash one. Off to listen to that next.

/who wants to be a president or king? me!

I was looking for Where the Wild Roses Grow or Henry Lee and was sorely disappointed.

Rberry: .that is a glaring omission for sure.

The only glaring omission on the list is the glaring omission of suck ;)

Points for the inclusion of Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel.

However, I would also add this great duet by Nick Cave and PJ Harvey, "Henry Lee," from Cave's Murder Ballads album:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=uHdNCHomHlU

No "Easy Lover"?

/Love that song

dereksmalls:
Frank and Nancy Sinatra ; something stupid


There's only two things wrong with that song: Nancy can't sing and IT'S HIS DAUGHTER!!!

Just kidding. I quite like that song. But IMHO Sinatra's finest duet is either "Well Did You Evah?" with Bing or "Me and My Shadow" with Sammy.

First of all - Where's Nick Cave and PJ Harvey

Also - "In my dreams you're blowing me" is on great way to start a song.

No Bruce Springsteen & Melissa Etheridge doing a live acoustic duet of Thunder Road? (new window)

sadbad: I was looking for Where the Wild Roses Grow or Henry Lee and was sorely disappointed.

I was hoping to see one of those too, but it was not too be. Still a solid list with a sense of music history at least.

One of my favorite This Mess We're In - PJ Harvey and Thom Yorke

What about this one? (new window)

NimbleWalrus: What about this one? (new window)

LOL, i feared the rickroll, yet it was actually in a way WORSE than the rickroll.

That should also be nominated for: Video most likely to end with butt sex.
