Heartland

Atleast on of the best duets that come to my mind right now has to be Placebo and David Bowie on the song "Without you Im nothing"

And ofcourse the couple in the band Low

Nick Cave and Shane McGowan - What a wonderful world. (And the alternative b-sides - "...and the Bad Seeds" version of Rainy Night in Soho )

Lisa Gerrard and Pieter Bourke

"Oh, I could be so good for you..."

one of my proudest moments

Morrissey and Siuxxuiuxuoouie (Can't spell her name) - Interlude

I know some people probably hate this song, but I think their distinctive voices compliment each other beautifully

Love the song, too

I always thought the Placebo/Bowie WYIN was a bit weak. I prefer the album version with just Placebo. The Placebo/Bowie cover of 20th Century Boy is much cooler.

Also on the duets-that-didn't-quite-make-it list the crappy Moz/Siouxsie single.

I like the PJ Harvey/Thom Yorke duet on "Stories from the City..."is cool, but my favourite has to be PJ Harvey and Bjork covering Satisfaction

the family cat & pj harvey: colour me grey

Nick Cave and Kylie/PJ Harvey (basically all of the album Murder Ballads )

Father Abraham and the Smurphs

(Eurotrash once had them singing with sabrina (of boys, boys, boys fame ))

Bowie and Trent Reznor - "Hurt"
(they also duet on at least two other songs "Reptile" and "Scary Monsters", which can be found on the "Children Of The Night" NIN bootleg.)

i think we already had a topic "best cover" but since i didn't put my message there i make it here (sorry, it's quite late here and maybe my tired brains have forgotten something extremely cool):

Sisters "Gimme Shelter"
Sisters "Jolene"
Sisters "Confide In Me"
Sisters "Bei Mir Bist Du Schön"
Leather Nun "Gimme Gimme Gimme (chopper mix)"
Laibach "Life Is Life"
Laibach - all the album "Let It Be" with beatles songs
Siouxsie "Passenger"
Siouxsie "Hall Of Mirrors"
Balanescu Quartet - Kraftwerk covers
Alien Sex Fiend "Satisfaction"
and so on... and so on... maybe i'll add something later -- it's time to say good night, my friends

I think she also did a few more songs on the last JAMC album, but I never really got into it so I can't comment on them. Sometimes Always is one of my favs.
