Favourite Guest Features
title says all, list in no order |
1 | | mewithoutYou Brother, Sister
O, Porcupine - Enigk bringing some apocalyptic shit with that "OH WHAT'D I SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY"; the lyrics are so simple but his super-powerful vocal plays so excellently over Weiss's verse which is precisely the opposite, making one of my favourite minutes in music history |
2 | | Alice in Chains Sap
Right Turn - Cornell bursting in out of nowhere right towards the end hits the spot every time |
3 | | The Beatles The Beatles
While my Guitar Gently Weeps - cos Clapton |
4 | | Bomb the Music Industry! Adults!!!: Smart!!! Shithammered!!! And Excited By Nothing!!!!!!!
All Ages Shows - I guess she was kind of technically a full member of the band but whatever, it's fucking glorious |
5 | | Arctic Monkeys AM
Knee Socks - when the zeroes line up on the twenty-four hour clock, when you know who's callin even tho the number is blocked |
6 | | Circa Survive Violent Waves
The Lottery - Geoff Rickly needs to get back in my earholes with new music ASAP |
7 | | Blink-182 Blink-182
All of This - There's nothing quite like a gloomfest of Robert Smith's dreary vocals, and especially in the context of the album following Easy Target this is a perfect mood setter |
8 | | The Antlers Hospice
Thirteen - such a simple contribution but how absolutely haunting and mesmeric in true Sharon style |
9 | | David Bowie Low
literally any of his collaborations with Eno, and also Fripp just for Teenage Wildlife |
10 | | The Wonder Years The Greatest Generation
The Devil in my Bloodstream - laura |
11 | | The Dear Hunter Red
This entire EP, cos Andy Hull's unique vocal fits in amazingly well with TDH rocking out like it's the 70s |
12 | | Ihsahn angL
Unhealer - this might among Mikael's best performances ever, especially the clean verses where he sounds heavenly. The trade-off vocals between him and Ihsahn in the chorus is like dark and light except they're both dark, or something. And on that note... |
13 | | Devin Townsend Project Deconstruction
Juular - NOTHING EVER BOTHERS JUULAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR |
14 | | Deftones White Pony
Passenger - ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN THIS COOL NIGHT AIR IS CURIOUS |
15 | | Flying Lotus You're Dead!
Never Catch Me - Kdot putting inequality and black rights on TPAB is fucking awesome, but Kdot reminiscing about life and death itself is even fucking awesomer. The verse that was cut for "political reasons" or whatever shit it was haunts my dreams to this day |
16 | | Gorillaz Demon Days
Feel Good Inc. - the classic of the 21st century |
17 | | John Frusciante Shadows Collide with People
Omission - would still have sex with Klinghoffer's voice |
18 | | Lydia Illuminate
Hospital - if there was one thing to elevate Hospital over the rest of what is an essentially flawless album it's Aaron Marsh, who has maybe the prettiest falsetto ever made to steal the role of female vocalist from Mindy which is not an easy task |
19 | | Underoath They're Only Chasing Safety
Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape - ditto 18 |
20 | | Queens of the Stone Age Songs for the Deaf
Any contribution of Lanegan's, Song for the Dead, Hangin' Tree and his verse on Song for the Deaf, all golden |
21 | | M83 Hurry Up, We're Dreaming
Intro - HAAAA-AAA-AAAA-AAA-AAA-AAAAAIIIILLLL |
22 | | Passenger (UK) Flight of the Crow
Golden Thread - a collab album usually produces a lot of gems for a style like this, but the winner here has to be Matt Corby and his 30 seconds of glory |
23 | | Pink Floyd The Dark Side of the Moon
The Great Gig in the Sky - possibly the single greatest collaboration of all time and certainly amongst the most riveting and bone-chilling pieces of music, this is a once in a century piece |
24 | | Rage Against the Machine Rage Against the Machine
Know Your Enemy - Maynard is good at appearing on other artist's pieces and being way more interesting than he usually is in Tool |
