it's not all David Bowie & Bing Crosby or David Bowie & Tina Turner.... there are lovlies like Lee & Nancy and others.

i'll be hitting you cats with two duets a day till i run out of good ones and am forced into using the Grease soundtrack. feel free to add your own and say that the ones i've chosen are rubbish.


Nicky & Kylie - Where The Wild Roses Grow

Morrissey & Siouxie - Interlude (Single Version)

I like that Nick Cave/ Kylie duet although apparently all the *real* Cave fans are supposed to hate it, so I suppose it's a guilty pleasure of mine.

Android funster Gary Numan and Shakattack's whatever his name is Sharpe, did a couple of monster hit albums in the early 80s.

See if you can work out which one is Numan:

The best duet ever is obviously (smog)'s Truth Serum from off of his Supper album.  He managed to find an exact female copy of himself to sing it with him!

No, seriously, it's ace.

Her: Well then, what is love?
Him: Love is an object kept in an empty box
Her: How can something be in an empty box?
Him: Well ...Give me another shot


mr rou-rou

and there was me thinking it was Nick Cave dueting with Lydia Lunch on Some Velvet Morning.

I'm strugglng to think of any.

erm, Bob Dylan and Joan Baez.

Serge Gainsbourg with Brigitte Bardot or Jane Birkin

nope, can't think of any more other than pop ones

it did say that on some mp3s knocking about, but i think it isn't. confusion arising from the fact that the Birthday Party worked with her on that LP.

i may, of course, be wrong.

fanny splendid

cheers fanny, i especially liked the Slowdive version (and am at a loss as to why Richey Edwards said that "we hate Slowdive more than Hitler"),

and i promise that tonight i'll pop up the best duet ever.

Joey Ramone & Ronnie Spector - You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory

pretty much a spot-on diagnosis.

i remember in my band when we were planning future interviews, trying to be controversial, yet honest;

"we hate the Stereophonics, though not as much as we hate Hitler", and so on.

I think you have to realise what the musical climate in Britain was like at that time. Loads of very dull public school boys chained to guitars and staring at the floor. It was one of the most uninspiring times in music...well, ever really. I mean, Chapterhouse were being hailed as some kind of second coming, that's pretty desperate. I love Richie, MSP were never the same after he was gone.

Quote from: "Peking O"I love Richie

Proof there that you clearly don't love him enough.

Sorry.

mayer

first off.. i love the manics, i have all the albums (bar Forever Delayed), have seen them live on average once a year since 1996, i adore some of their music, especially THB, but too much revisionist wank there for my liking....


Quote from: "Peking O"I think you have to realise what the musical climate in Britain was like at that time.

bollocks, Slowdive were hardly Yes and the Manics were hardly the Sex Pistols.... etc.


Quote from: "Peking O"It was one of the most uninspiring times in music...well, ever really.

My Bloody Valentine
Public Enemy
Primal Scream
Nirvana
Snoop & Dre
Pixies
Spacemen 3
Bowie back on form
Blur
The Stone Roses
The Flaming Lips
Pulp
Morrissey
New Order



oh, and Richey clearly was a gobshite, only outmatched in the gobshite stakes by Nicky "i've got a politics degree" Wire


Quote from: "Peking O"MSP were never the same after he was gone.

and that's about as controversial as saying "i don't like that George Bush y'know". well duh.

i'm too lazy and tipsy to think of some brilliant rare stuff, so you'll take what you're given

Electric Six feat Jack White - Danger (High Voltage!)

Drugstore feat. Thom Yorke - El President
