Duets that were arguably the best song by both in the duo

I just heard "Under Pressure" and thought: you can argue that this is the best Queen song, and you can also argue that this is the best Bowie song.

Then I heard "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" and thought "Hey! Same thing!"

Any others come to mind?

Yeah, no.



I think Islands In the Stream is Kenny Rogers's best song, but not Dolly Parton's.

I think Leather & Lace is Don Henley's best song, at least his solo career post-Eagles. Probably Stevie Nicks's best song of her solo career as well.

IF I Close My Eyes Forever by Ozzy and Lita Ford. Ozzy's got some serious competition (even if we exclude Black Sabbath and only count solo stuff) but it's pretty clearly Lita's best song.

I don't think Under Pressure is close to the best song for either. Same for Stop Dragging My Heart Around.

I don't know if I'd go so far to say it is Ozzy's best song, but I do love this song. I thought the David Draiman/Lzzy Hale cover was very strong as well.

How about the worst duet?

Ebony and Ivory

2 of the most historically talented musicians with that crap?

Thanks, but that wasn't the question.

Just did.

It isn't my favorite, though.

Jagger and Bowie take this crown big time.


ETA: Oops, I forgot about Paisley & Cool J.

Bowie sounds like shite on Under Pressure. But he has to compete with Freddie Mercury so it's not really fair.

Don't Go Breaking My Heart had to be the best thing Kiki Dee ever did, I'm assuming. Pretty good Elton song, too, but obviously not his best.

Didn't Tim McGraw and Nelly do one? Jesus

Easy Lover with Phil Collins and some guy was pretty awful too

A few serious ones-

Endless Love- Lionel and Diana (not this category)
Up Where We Belong- Cocker and Warnes?
I've Had the Time of my Life- 2 unknowns
Reunited- Peaches and Herb?
I Don't Know Much- Neville and Rondstadt (probably not this category)

How about Willie Nelson and Ray Charles doing "Seven Spanish Angels "? Probably not either ones best but still just an awesome duet.
