Favourite Guest Features

title says all, list in no order
1mewithoutYou
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
2Alice in Chains
Sap


Right Turn - Cornell bursting in out of nowhere right towards the end hits the spot every time
3The Beatles
The Beatles


While my Guitar Gently Weeps - cos Clapton
4Bomb 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
5Arctic 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
6Circa Survive
Violent Waves


The Lottery - Geoff Rickly needs to get back in my earholes with new music ASAP
7Blink-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
8The Antlers
Hospice


Thirteen - such a simple contribution but how absolutely haunting and mesmeric in true Sharon style
9David Bowie
Low


literally any of his collaborations with Eno, and also Fripp just for Teenage Wildlife
10The Wonder Years
The Greatest Generation


The Devil in my Bloodstream - laura
11The 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
12Ihsahn
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...
13Devin Townsend Project
Deconstruction


Juular - NOTHING EVER BOTHERS JUULAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
14Deftones
White Pony


Passenger - ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN THIS COOL NIGHT AIR IS CURIOUS
15Flying 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
16Gorillaz
Demon Days


Feel Good Inc. - the classic of the 21st century
17John Frusciante
Shadows Collide with People


Omission - would still have sex with Klinghoffer's voice
18Lydia
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
19Underoath
They're Only Chasing Safety


Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape - ditto 18
20Queens 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
21M83
Hurry Up, We're Dreaming


Intro - HAAAA-AAA-AAAA-AAA-AAA-AAAAAIIIILLLL
22Passenger (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
23Pink 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
24Rage 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
