Nice one
Good to see Inspiral Carpets and Mark E Smith in there.... but Bowie and Bing Crosby?:eek:

My favourite one missing from the list is 'Good Morning Britain' by Aztec Camera and Mick Jones.

I LOVE Under Pressure

I absolutely DESPISE Smooth by Santana and Rob Thomas. he's gotta be one of the most annoying vocalists EVER. ugh :rolleyes:

I HATE that song too...thought I was the only one! It makes me want to vomit everytime I hear it!
 
I didn't realize that "The Foggy Dew" was well-known enough to be ranked #1. Was it a hit over there?

For your viewing pleasure,


I'm a big Sinead fan and didn't even know it existed :eek:

Shoot me now but I quite like

Once In A Lifetime by Clannad & Bonehead

U Got The Look - Ponce and Sheena Easton

Somethings Gotten Hold Of My Heart - Marc Almond & Gene Pitney (certainly did in the latter's case!)

Crazy In Love- Beyonce and Jayz (arguably the finest pop single of this millenium)

What have I Done To Deserve This? - PSB & Dusty

Uptown Town Ranking - Althea & Donna

Especially For You - kylie & jason (ahem!)
 
They should just call it most famous duets by people mostly from the UK., because there are some terrible songs on that list.

6 Islands In The Stream – Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton :eek:

I'd rather listen to You Don't Bring Me Flowers Anymore.
 
I bet you know she did a song with guitarist from U2 - heroin
edge or something like that he names himself

"Heroine" -- recorded before she recorded her first album, but not released til after. It's a f***ing horrible song. It's on her So Far... The Best of compilation.
She's also recorded with a duet with U2--"I'm Not Your Baby." It's on her Collaborations CD.

I didn't include either one on my mix tapes because I really, really don't care for them. Oh, but hey, Buzzetta just posted the latter! Download it if you like pain.
 


Belgium doesn't exist anymore

the French part is going to France , the north to the Netherlands

the country is almost 3 months in ruins, since the elections, the long time
ongoing langauge barriere is now putting an end to this country

btw, someone put Belgium on Ebay, so if anyone's interested:rolleyes:

I thought this was kinda funny.
 
She looks like a man. That song is not good, it's very boring. I even have the Moz only version and it's still a bore. That woman cannot sing. I can sing better than that!

Are you really sure Heroine was recorder before Sineads first album, cause
it I vaguely remember that it was
done because of doc. about a ghetto in Dublin [flats], where was a lot
of poverty, bad social/economical situation, lot of drug using...etc.

and did the members of U2 knew Sinead before she even made a record?

well I'm not so into the history of both U2 and Sinead, but I vaguely remember something about a documentary about a part of Dublin, and
they wrote a song for it

btw, I dunno the song, so I hope Buzetta will be so nice and put
it on for DL
