Help Decide Which Rock Wars Comes Next!

[DTM]

Hey all.

With Rock Wars 11 coming to a close, I thought Id throw out some ideas for some possible future ones, namely RW12 at this point, and see if we can all get a hand in picking which one wed like to do next.

So basically just look at the list below, pick your favorite, which will help determine what Rock Wars 12 will be. (I ask that you choose here ONLY if you intend to vote in the actual, upcoming TOC)

Possible Choices:

Movie Themes - Superman vs. James Bond. Star Wars vs. The Pink Panther. Rocky vs. Jaws. Some of the most iconic move themes around (as well as our personal favorites) go head to head here.

80's Songs - From campy one hit wonders to honest-to-goodness great songs, to everything in between, the 80s is one of the most popular decade for music Ever!

Duets - Many times in music history solo artists (or even bands) have joined together to make some pretty damn good songs, which one is our favorite, well thats up to us here. - This Option Has Won Out, And This Is Now A Nomination Thread For The DUETS ROCK WARS!

Guilty Pleasures - These are songs which we each personally like (or even love) but were a bit (or very much so) embarassed to say. Share your personal guilty pleasure songs, If You Dare.

No More Already - kinda speaks for itself really. :) (though I must say if this does win I do have a special Final Rock Wars Id like to do to send us out)

So what say you all?

[MSU]

I am voting for Duets...that would be completely different.

[hail_eris]

I'm intrigued by the Duets as well. The movie themes might be a bit too reminiscent of the TV themes, and the '80s songs would have a lot of overlap with the One-Hit-Wonders TOC. Guilty pleasures might be interesting, but it's pretty hard to judge that sort of thing (one person's guilty pleasure is another person's just plain pleasure). Actually, yeah, I just talked myself into that (having come up with five potential nominees in the space of ten seconds) - I'll throw down a vote for guilty pleasures.

[readyeddy?]

I vote Duets as well, so I can nominate a bunch of songs that you'll all shoot down by the third round. ( But I will secretly know I made you listen to, Nyah ah ah!)

If you do the Eighties, then I demand equal time for the Seventies and The Nineties and the Sixties and the Oughtties and maybe even the Fifties (just to see if anybody dared to nominate Pat Boone).

[DTM]

Well Im going for the Movie Themes (a favorite genre of mine), which I see as completely different musically over the TV Themes RW.

[VelvetGuru9]

I'm giving my vote over to Duets, and if it came sown to it, my second choice would be Guilty pleasures, just so I can nominate Barry Manilow.

[JKLantern]

Reverse Velvet, Guilty pleasures, followed by duets.

[KiwiGirl]

I'd like to vote for Duets - Kenny and Dolly - here we come! :)

[JKLantern]

Can I do "Under Pressure" by Queen and David Bowie for Duets?

Oo! Oo! Or how about the Roger Waters/Van Morrison version of Comfortably Numb?

[BudPalmer]

Totally Duets!

[DTM]

Oo! Oo! Or how about the Roger Waters/Van Morrison version of Comfortably Numb?

Funny, I was actually going to suggest that one for my wife (KiwiGirl) to pick. :p

IF we do Duets, that is. Personally Im still fighting for the Movie Themes one. :)

Oh, and please keep in mind if you Dont plan to vote in the TOC, please Dont cast your vote here (ie: if youre voting here, I expect ya to participate in the TOC, capishe?)

The only reason I haven't voted in the past couple is BECAUSE the themes haven't been quite my cup o' tea. ;)

[DTM]

Well support is support at the end of the day (as Lord knows even I ran RWs I wasnt thrilled about).....oh, and I wasnt just talking about you. :)

[Magnito]

Duets or movies. If you do 80s, after these last two, I might just quit Rock Wars all together. I could not care less about 80s music.

Such a hater....my friend is the same way about the 80s. I, on the other hand, LOVE the 80s.

I would love a 90s music one just so I can nominate my faves like the Cranberries, Offspring, NiN, Smashing Pumpkins, Spice Girls, Pearl Jam, Nirvana...etc etc.

But I digress....Duets is what I would like. Time of Your Life here we come!

[EmperorNorton]

That's because you are old. :cheeky:

Guilty pleasures get's my vote, that might be interesting.
The other choices are more likely to motivate me to participate as well than the last two Rock Wars have been.

90s would be cool with me. :)

Also, as a write in vote, how about a Rock Wars of Canadian music. I think it would be awesome. :p

How many times can we nominate Alanis and Len? ;)

[Magnito]

Think of it as a way to broaden your horizons of Canadian culture.

[JKLantern]

Rush, the Guess Who, BTO.

[hail_eris]

How many times can we nominate Alanis and Len? ;)
Pair 'em up against Bryan Adams and Rush and you've got your final four.

[phantalien]

80's duets.

This can include many songs from soundtracks as well.
Peter Cetera, Linda Ronstadt, and Peabo Bryson, they will probably take up half the list.

For Canadian music you can add Alannah Miles, Shania Twain, Corey Hart, Kittie, Gordon Lightfoot, and more!

[Magnito]

Matthew Good Band, Sloan, Our Lady Peace, Metric, Sum 41, Treble Charger, Bif Naked, Alexisonfire, Barenaked Ladies, Billy Talent, Tegan and Sara, Danko Jones, Finger Eleven, I Mother Earth, Jet Set Satellite, Sam Roberts, The Tragically Hip...

And that's just to name a few. I could go on.

[readyeddy?]

Neil Young!

That Canadian music idea ain't half bad there and should be reseved for a future Rock Wars. Then they could do one based on music from Iowa artists such as ------ uhhmm, errr, ummm, ------ Slipknot?

[JKLantern]

I swear I'm the only person on Earth who doesn't like Neil Young for reasons other than politics. I just think he sounds like a dying old man throughout his career! :laugh:

[readyeddy?]

I am Appalled! APPALLED, I tells ya! And if they do a Canadian Rock Wars expect me to nominate "Like A Hurricane" Toot Sweet!

[Gargantua]

I like movie themes too, but I'll happily go with any of these.

[Surfer13]

Duets, I guess, but I would like a little clarification in advance of what a duet really is. Wouldn't both artists have to sing to make a duet? And what about acts that were duets to begin with? Mouth and McNeal (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPwDqFf4NJI), for example. They were a single act, but a duet at the same time. I am sure I could think of more given time.

As for the rest, I love the 80's, and it's been all downhill from there with a few bright spots trying to hold back the crushing wave of darkness.

But hey, Canadian sounds good to me, too. Triumph. :cool:

[charlesx]

Let's....duuuuuuettt!!!! :cool:

[charlesx]

I swear I'm the only person on Earth who doesn't like Neil Young for reasons other than politics. I just think he sounds like a dying old man throughout his career! :laugh:

This is MADNESS!! This is BLASPHEMY!!!!

[AlienFlanders]

Duets, followed by Guilty Pleasure.


As to Neil Young, imagine being stuck in a car for 4.5 hours with Love is a Rose on continuous play.

Took me many years to get over it. Like a lot of my music I prefer the early stuff like Buffalo Springfield, rather than his later music.

[VelvetGuru9]

Matthew Good Band, Sloan, Our Lady Peace, Metric, Sum 41, Treble Charger, Bif Naked, Alexisonfire, Barenaked Ladies, Billy Talent, Tegan and Sara, Danko Jones, Finger Eleven, I Mother Earth, Jet Set Satellite, Sam Roberts, The Tragically Hip...

And that's just to name a few. I could go on.

Yeah, you forgot Rita MacNeil. :confused:

[DTM]

OK, well it looks like without an official count being made, The Duets Rock Wars seems to be the favorite here (though I must say Id like to get to the others mentioned in time as well - though might give the Canadian RW to someone else :)).

So why dont we use this thread to start with our Duet Nominations (Id like to save "Island In The Stream" for KiwiGirl, please). Well aim for a 64 song TOC, and we have Alot of additional songs we want to add in Im sure we could bump it to 128 later.

So at this stage Id like anyone who is interested in participating in this next Rock Wars to choose and post 3 Duets (with links please).

The definition of a Duet in this case is a song made by 2 seperate established artists, as such Hall & Oates would not be a duet for this as they are considered one group (aka one established artist), but "Walk This Way" (by Run DMC and Aerosmith - two established artists) would be fine.

So I think thats it. Have at it, and Ill check over the list later.

Oh, and for the record, I dont like Neil Young either (sounds like an old Kermit The Frog to me) :)

[JKLantern]

Oh, and for the record, I dont like Neil Young either (sounds like an old Kermit The Frog to me) :)

So it's NOT just me then!

Alright, three duets then.

Roger Waters/Van Morrison Comfortably Numb (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CirSD6p1uFs)(with a little help from The Band)

Eric Clapton and Sheryl Crow Little Wing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6F2qExLsic)

And a slight cheat one that I'm half expecting to be shot down, but is honestly my favorite of the three I'm posting, so why the Hell not?

David Gilmour and Richard Wright, Wearing the Inside Out. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mDY2wA-GqU)

EDIT: I do have another one I can swap out with that last one, it's just a matter of tracking it down, and remembering who the second singer was!

EDIT EDIT: Found it, and remembered it. Your call, bossman!

[Magnito]

How many noms do I get? I'll start with:

Under Pressure (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtrEN-YKLBM) – Queen and David Bowie
Don’t Go Breaking My Heart (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIQ-e_6QUt4) – Elton John and Kiki Dee
Baby, It's Cold Outside (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkPr_iXsTO8) - Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Jordan

Yeah, that last one may seem like an odd pick from me, but I like that song. This is the best recording of it I could find.

[JKLantern]

Doesn't everybody?

[Magnito]

I guess. I suppose I could have picked a different version of it too, but this one is just such a classic.

[Magnito]

Actually, let's swap it for this version

Baby, It's Cold Outside (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szrqtgAd3h0) - Margaret Whiting & Johnny Mercer

better recording and a more well known version of the song.

[AlienFlanders]

Three of my choices...

Barcelona (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmQoy8UOIkg) - Freddie Mercury & Monserat Caballe.

Some Velvet Morning (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sb-SVPJM4L4) - Lee Hazelwood & Nancy Sinatra

Seven Spanish Angels (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63A__INJecI) - Willie Nelson & Ray Charles

[Gargantua]

Okay Duets. I'll have to think about this one. Especially since Magnito already grabbed Elton John and Kiki Dee.

Well let me start with
People Get Ready (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T43m6dcMk6U) - Rod Stewart & Jeff Beck

Then I'll see what else I can come up with.

[JackAssterson]

Let's....duuuuuuettt!!!! :cool:

Heh heh heh heh heh.

Duet.

[DTM]

We used to have a list of Duets that some of us had gathered up, I think its in the Music Forum, if anyone wants to find it and post a link to it here (to give helpful suggestions for those that arent sure) that would be great.

[DTM]

Oh, and I also wouldnt mind getting more votes on the MJ TOC, so for those that are here that havent done so yet, weve got the Semi-Finals and then Final Match waiting for you! :)

[VelvetGuru9]

I'm going Old schools with my picks

The beautiful smooth male soul vocals of Mr Marvin Gaye with Tammi Terrell
Ain't No Mountain High Enough (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz-UvQYAmbg)

Simon and Garfunkel's deeply lyrical The Boxer (sorry, may take me a while to find good audio)

Debbie Harry and Iggy Pop singing Did You Evah (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjejqJVUYOU)

[Magnito]

Oh, and I also wouldnt mind getting more votes on the MJ TOC, so for those that are here that havent done so yet, weve got the Semi-Finals and then Final Match waiting for you! :)

Your wish is my command.
http://www.hcrealms.com/forum/showthread.php?t=210569&highlight=duet

Reading the list, I have a question. Does Smooth by Santana and Rob Thomas count? Santana doesn't actually sing. If it does count, I'd like to make it my third nom instead.

[VelvetGuru9]

Hey Dtm, what about duets that feature two acts getting together? Examples would be Apocalyptica with Adam from 3 Days Grace on the song I Don't Care and Supremes/Temptations. Just asking in case we get more noms.

[DTM]

Yes, Smooth definately counts, as the song itself is from 2 established artists (one being a group, the other a solo artist).

Unfortunately Simon & Garfunkel do not count, as they are a single group (ala Hall & Oates), and thats not what were looking for here.

[DTM]

Hey Dtm, what about duets that feature two acts getting together? Examples would be Apocalyptica with Adam from 3 Days Grace on the song I Don't Care and Supremes/Temptations. Just asking in case we get more noms.

I feel like an idiot, but I dont even know what this means. :)

[Magnito]

Okay, than my 3 noms are Under Pressure, Don't Go Breaking My Heart and Smooth.

I may add the other one back later if we get more noms.

[readyeddy?]

Only three? I'm spoiled now you know.

All right, I'll nominate these:

John Lee Hooker and Carlos Santana - The Healer
Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Eyu7pHQIOI

Earl Scruggs and Steve Martin - Foggy Mountain Breakdown
Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icMTVV5Lwaw

Alison Krauss and Robert Plant - Gone gone Gone (Done Moved On)
Http://www.youtube.com/warch?v=6WRm3VsmXRE

[readyeddy?]

I feel like an idiot, but I dont even know what this means. :)

I would think he means two entire groups performing together. Like when the Temptations performed with the Supremes.

[EmperorNorton]

I've a bit of trouble of coming up with some duets.
Hows about
Lita Ford & Ozzy - Close My Eyes Forever (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=md1MtPK2yws)
Nick Cave & Kylie Minogue - Where the Wild Roses Grow (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8srgfw7GDkM)

I think I'm missing a fair few obvious ones I really like.

[Gargantua]

If you'll forgive my introducing holiday music in August, my second nominations will be

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen/We Three Kings (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGVNzgUxE-g) - Barenaked Ladies & Sarah MacLachlan

[VelvetGuru9]

I feel like an idiot, but I dont even know what this means. :)

I would think he means two entire groups performing together. Like when the Temptations performed with the Supremes.

ReadyEddy has it right. If you can have Queen and David Bowie; a band and solo artist, can you then have two bands? Supremes and Temptations did a lot of duets back in the day and The Pogues and The Dubliners would be another. I'm sure there are others but right now my brain is a bit fuzzy and the coffee hasn't kicked in.

[phantalien]

My favorite from the 80's

Somewhere Out There (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aav79N3cJhU) - Linda Ronstadt & James Ingram

Next Time I Fall In Love (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YnKdghl5fc) Peter Cetera & Amy Grant

Easy Lover (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdWK7O49oQI&feature=related) Philip Bailey & Phil Collins

[MSU]

Wait, this has turned into a nominating thread????

[MSU]

Kelly Clarkson and Reba McEntire - Because of you (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-NnWHOUuKw)

Sonny and Cher - I got you babe (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BERd61bDY7k)

Unforgettable (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GVKbhYrcGM) - Natalie Cole and Nat King Cole If someone can find a better verion, much obliged!

[MSU]

Man do I love that Kelly and Reba song...it is so depressing and so heartfelt....mebbe it is because I just love Reba.

[Cryomancer]

Ive got to throw in an old favorite, despite the fact I like the remake the original deserves to be here
Stevie Nicks and Don Henley - Leather and Lace
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psp1rZwHR9w

[Cryomancer]

There are an absolute ton of good country ones but not sure they are everyone's style or how many would make it.

[MSU]

Nominate them anyways....I nominate stuff here that no one else likes (like my diva pop stuff).

[DTM]

Yes, that would be fine.

[VelvetGuru9]

Hey Dtm, can you start a new nominations thread and just port all the noms over there. I'm not sure guys like Rokk and Hail know that we're nominating here.

[DTM]

Kelly Clarkson and Reba McEntire - Because of you (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-NnWHOUuKw)

Sonny and Cher - I got you babe (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BERd61bDY7k)

Unforgettable (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GVKbhYrcGM) - Natalie Cole and Nat King Cole If someone can find a better verion, much obliged!


I might have to nix Sonny and Cher, as they are a single established act. Care to pick another?

[DTM]

Hey Dtm, can you start a new nominations thread and just port all the noms over there. I'm not sure guys like Rokk and Hail know that we're nominating here.

Well you could always send them a PM to let them know. :)

[BudPalmer]

My Nominations (for duets):

Ben Folds/ Regina Spektor - You Don't Know Me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRgQns-TJGM)

Rhett Miller/ Rachael Yamagata - Fireflies (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWA5gq2WQ34)

Tom Petty/Stevie Nicks - Apartment Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6HHzWyFBrQ)

[MSU]

I might have to nix Sonny and Cher, as they are a single established act. Care to pick another?

Even though Cher went on to a solo career?

AH c'mon!!! It is a duet!!

[DTM]

Sorry man, same with Simon and Garfunkel, they are a single act, even though they are made up of two people (though if you like Ive Got You Babe, you could go with the popular UB40 (with Chrissie Hynde) take)

[DTM]

Just letting you guys know that I have a Current Song List on the first page of this thread, and if you have yet to pick your 3 songs, youre more than welcome to do so.

[hail_eris]

Hey Dtm, can you start a new nominations thread and just port all the noms over there. I'm not sure guys like Rokk and Hail know that we're nominating here.
I just noticed! So I'll nominate:

Bjork and PJ Harvey - Satisfaction (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AX2bcWtg1Q)

PJ Harvey and Nick Cave - Henry Lee (http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=3696115)

And as tempted as I am to nominate the "Another Day duet they did for the 1979 Christmas special, I'll go with:

Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel - Don't Give Up (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiCRZLr9oRw)

[DTM]

Question about the Peter / Kate song there Hail, as wouldnt that fall into the category of that being a Peter Gabriel song, with Kate Bush singing a bit on the chorus (kinda like Sting singing on Money For Nothing, even though thats clearly not a duet). I mean, other than say liner notes, I dont think Kate is credited with that song really (as in say when it plays on the radio or on a video channel).

[VelvetGuru9]

Sorry man, same with Simon and Garfunkel, they are a single act, even though they are made up of two people (though if you like Ive Got You Babe, you could go with the popular UB40 (with Chrissie Hynde) take)

Even though I tried to nominate S&G, I have to agree with old DTM on this one. In music acts like Sonny and Cher, Peter and Gordon, Simon & Garfunkel are actually considered Duos. It may sound like semantics, but there are distinct differences.

[VelvetGuru9]

and for my third nom I'll take I Don't Care - Apocalyptica with Adam Gontier (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uu9uxGP5nL0)

[MSU]

Sheryl Crow and Sting - Always on my side (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FAD3GmlB1c)

[MSU]

Does this count?

Queen and George Michael - Somebody to Love (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8c7x2JD_j-0)

[DTM]

Oh, and for all of you looking for song links, Im going to request that you give me ones containing the song from the actual recorded release, and NOT as a live version (unless the live version is the only one around). If you have given me a link from a live act, and theres a recorded version made of it, Please go back and find me the link for that (or Ill just do so myself, but it will be great if you guys could help with your own picks). Thanks.

[DTM]

Does this count?

Queen and George Michael - Somebody to Love (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8c7x2JD_j-0)

I would say so, the song was very popular and did play on the radio and music channels quite a bit. Which one do you want for your 3rd pick?

[hail_eris]

Question about the Peter / Kate song there Hail, as wouldnt that fall into the category of that being a Peter Gabriel song, with Kate Bush singing a bit on the chorus (kinda like Sting singing on Money For Nothing, even though thats clearly not a duet). I mean, other than say liner notes, I dont think Kate is credited with that song really (as in say when it plays on the radio or on a video channel).
Got it - how about this one then:
Siouxsie Sioux and Morrissey - Interlude (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjUKAETwDKg&)

[DTM]

Keep in mind hail I was more asking than Nixing it outright. If you feel it really belongs here, Im sure we could all discuss it more.

[DTM]

Just throwing a few out there, see if anyones interested:

I Knew You Were Waiting For Me - Aretha Franklin / George Michael
When The Stars Go Blue - The Corrs / Bono
One Sweet Day - Mariah Carey / Boys II Men
Weve Got Tonight - Kenny Rogers / Sheena Easton
U Got The Look - Prince / Sheena Easton
What A Fool Believes - Kenny Loggins / Michael McDonald

Game Of Love - Santana / Michelle Branch
Crying Roy Orbison/K D Lang

The Saints Are Coming – U2 / Green Day

Got it - how about this one then:
Siouxsie Sioux and Morrissey - Interlude (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjUKAETwDKg&)

I wrote a post after your initial nominations, wondering why you hadn't picked Morrissey and Siouxsie. And the Realms ate it. :disappointed:

[MSU]

I would say so, the song was very popular and did play on the radio and music channels quite a bit. Which one do you want for your 3rd pick?

Somebody to Love and if need be, and we get a 4th pick, assume Sheryl and Sting will be my 4th pick.

[DTM]

Well if we do get 4th picks, Ill ask everyone to chime in then and add their fourth at the time, I think (so keep an eye on this thread) :)

[MSU]

I have another one instead of the Sheryl song...Cyndi Lauper and Sarah Mclachlan - Time after Time (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TiAWJkIQAE)

I am just worried that I am going on vacation and won't be around to add another pick.

But those are the two - Cyndi and Sarah as #4 and Sheryl and Sting as #5 (if need be).

[Gargantua]

Okay my third pick would be this one:

The Boxer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4Lwx9F81Zs) - Alison Krauss & Shawn Colvin

[charlesx]

How about:

DANCING IN THE STREETS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaZCZnmdmbA) (Mick Jagger/David Bowie)

UP WHERE WE BELONG (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxOZuKTvHW8) (Joe Cocker/Jennifer Warnes)

SAY SAY SAY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLEhh_XpJ-0) (Michael Jackson/Paul McCartney)

And an honorable mention to:

BORN TO BE WILD (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcdA3xroQBk&feature=related) (Ozzy Osbourne & Miss Piggy)

There it is and there you have it, gentlemen. :)

[Gargantua]

SHENANIGANS! Jeff Beck doesn't sing in that!

Ah, but check the definition:
The definition of a Duet in this case is a song made by 2 seperate established artists

It only says it has to be made by two separate artists, not that they both have to sing in it! I could as easily have chosen a Mozart Violen duet where no one sings at all! Mwahahah! Years of rules lawyering pay off!

Seriously though, I can come up with another if that one violates the spirit of things.

[JKLantern]

If I can get away with Rick Wright and Dave Gilmour, I suppose you can get away with Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart. Yes, I did catch that, too. :p

And Charlesx, shame on you for picking Dancing in the Street. I need the Brain Bleach now.

[Space Jawa]

I'm going to have to think a bit to come up with three I like (though the list helps, thanks!)

Beer For My Horses (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fr0SLtFzNaE) (Toby Keith/Willie Nelson) - I may not exactly be a fan of country, but that's not to say I can't enjoy a song from it every now and then.

You've Got a Friend In Me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2y0DdTRYOA) (Randy Newman/Lyle Lovett)

My last call I know is a bit iffy, so I'll throw it out and hope it sticks:
Still Alive (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5H3lcl_an8) (Jonathan Coulton/GLaDOS [Felicia Day])

Since I think it started as a joke with the two being Dueted together separately, I also have a version where they're singing together live (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6phPO0YPvA) (which, hopefully, will make it an official enough duet to count), so if it's acceptable, feel free to use either.

[Surfer13]

Without going back to re-check, was it Rick Wright and David Gilmour?
I would say that Richard Wright wouldn't count as a solo act. Him grouping with David Gilmour is more like an iteration of Pink Floyd than a duet, anyway.

As for my nominations...

George Michael and Elton John, Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqw373vmKTw)
I only know of the live version here.

Eric Clapton and Elton John, Runaway Train (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxJu413Oz0E)

And to complete the trifecta, Neil Sedaka and Elton John, Bad Blood (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuBEBffz-k4)
As far as this one goes, I am not making any comments about endorsing or opposing the viewpoints the person that posted this seems to endorse.
It was just far and away the best post of the song itself that I could find.
They also play the song multiple times while they run their "viewpoint commercial".

[DTM]

How about:

DANCING IN THE STREETS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaZCZnmdmbA) (Mick Jagger/David Bowie)

UP WHERE WE BELONG (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxOZuKTvHW8) (Joe Cocker/Jennifer Warnes)

SAY SAY SAY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLEhh_XpJ-0) (Michael Jackson/Paul McCartney)

And an honorable mention to:

BORN TO BE WILD (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcdA3xroQBk&feature=related) (Ozzy Osbourne & Miss Piggy)

There it is and there you have it, gentlemen. :)


Sorry Chuck, but Say Say Say has already been used for a RW (the current MJ one), care to pick another? (and no, the Miss Piggy one dont count) :P

[DTM]

My last call I know is a bit iffy, so I'll throw it out and hope it sticks:
Still Alive (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5H3lcl_an8) (Jonathan Coulton/GLaDOS [Felicia Day])

Im a bit lost with Still Alive (which is a song I actually like), is it Only a Duet when the Live version, and the original recorded version is Not a Duet?

[DTM]

The current list on Post 1 has been updated.

[charlesx]

Sorry Chuck, but Say Say Say has already been used for a RW (the current MJ one), care to pick another? (and no, the Miss Piggy one dont count) :P

I figured that you'd be anti-Piggy!! LOL!!!

OK, let's see what else I can find....

[charlesx]

CLOSE MY EYES FOREVER (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loyTCkV06xQ) (Ozzy Osbourne/Lita Ford)

There's a duet worth voting for, yeah?

:cool:

[DTM]

Good one, shame its already on the list. :p

[DTM]

Hey hail, Im cool with you putting Peter and Kate together for Dont Give Up (possibly for a sure to come up 4th pick), if you want?

[Space Jawa]

Im a bit lost with Still Alive (which is a song I actually like), is it Only a Duet when the Live version, and the original recorded version is Not a Duet?

I'm not sure, to be honest. If I understand things correctly, first Jonathan Coulton recorded his own version of the song after Portal came out, then someone edited them together without the two's involvement (but this is just what I've heard/come to understand, so I may be off in the first place). Then we've got the two actually appearing together to sing it as a genuine duet. The non-live version I posted was posted well after the live duet took place, though due to the way the internet works, It may have actually been created before, and even if it wasn't, I can't say for certain whether it was done in a genuine fashion, or just another 'duet' made by someone else taking their individual performances and creating a single file out of them.

So I know the Live version is a true duet, but on the recorded version I can't give you a guarantee one way or the other.

[DTM]

My head hurts after reading that.........OK, Ill keep the live version then for that one, but from now on lets all try to stick with songs that are without a doublt duets here.

[lurker]

Pet Shop Boys & Dustry Springfield : What have I done to deserve this? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn9E5i7l-Eg)

Prince & Sheila E : U Got The Look (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x14hgh_prince-sheena-easton-u-got-the-look_creation)

Not sure if this is eligible:
John Travolta & Olivia Newton John : You're the one that I want (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyUWkQj0Q_U)

[charlesx]

Trying one more time, darnit.

STAN (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snHfdV3gw9Q) (Eminem/Dido)

[DTM]

Pet Shop Boys & Dustry Springfield : What have I done to deserve this? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn9E5i7l-Eg)

Not sure if this is eligible:
John Travolta & Olivia Newton John : You're the one that I want (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyUWkQj0Q_U)

Cool picks, though as I believe Youre The One That I Want was used for the Movie Song TOC, we cant use it again here. Care to repick another in its place?

[DTM]

I would like to ask anyone who doesnt as yet have 3 picks in, and youre interested in doing so, to please have all 3 posts by the end of the day, as after that I will be allowing 4th picks to us all (first come first serve, but in saying that I want others to get in their 3rd before the rest get their 4th) Thanks all.

[EmperorNorton]

I think for my third pick I'll go with Jane Birkin & Serge Gainsbourg - Je T'aime... Moi Non Plus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHiMDB19Dyc)

No, scrach that.

Peaches & Iggy Pop - Kick it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILjUe-znXE4)

No, wait.

Nina Hagen & Apocalyptica - Seemann (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEFuVpD8HZ0)

No, now I've got it! By George, I've got it!

Einstürzende Neubauten & Meret Becker - Stella maris (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysQEF8K9zpM)

[readyeddy?]

If I get a fourth pick, this is what I want it to be:

Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris - Return Of The Grievous Angel

Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zR-tKVt0VU

[JKLantern]

I would like to ask anyone who doesnt as yet have 3 picks in, and youre interested in doing so, to please have all 3 posts by the end of the day, as after that I will be allowing 4th picks to us all (first come first serve, but in saying that I want others to get in their 3rd before the rest get their 4th) Thanks all.

Glad I thought of another pick already. I'll put it up if you end up short late (and I mean LATE) tonight.

[MSU]

You got my 4th pick from Sarah and Cyndi!

[Gargantua]

Well if we're putting in our fourth choices, just in case, mine will be Dream a Little Dream (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fI6hsLifBEk&feature=related)Tony Bennett and KD Lang

[AlienFlanders]

My fourth pick would be Sailing to Philadelphia (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrLdKYRBOEE) - Mark Knopfler & James Taylor

[DTM]

Well, I didnt actually say lets all post our 4th picks.......but I guess at this point we might as well. Im going to hold a few spots for certain people (which Ill post on the First Page to this thread), but other than that its first come first serve til we reach 64.

[JKLantern]

JK's bumpable (if necessary) fourth: Jack Bruce/Maggie Reilly Ships in the Night (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6OM4Ob-2_Q&feature=related)

[hail_eris]

Hey hail, Im cool with you putting Peter and Kate together for Dont Give Up (possibly for a sure to come up 4th pick), if you want?
Sure - I'll throw it in as my fourth pick (provided I wouldn't be taking a spot from someone who hasn't had the chance to submit his first three).

[VelvetGuru9]

For my 4th pick, I'm going to go with Kristin Hersh and Michael Stipe "Your Ghost" of which right now I can't find a good clip; I'll be grateful to anyone who finds it.

Since Stipe is only there to sing on the chorus - I believe the song says Feat. M.S. - this may disqualify it. If it does, I'll take Hope Sandoval and Jim Read doing Sometimes Always.

[VelvetGuru9]

Peter Gabriel/Kate Bush - Don't Give Up

I told ReadyEddy before we even started nominating that would be in my noms if we got more than 3. Beat me to it.

GMRA.

[DTM]

OK, and with that, saving some spots for lurker and Grinner, we should have our list. Ill see about PMing both of them now, see if they cant get on and make their picks ASAP so we can get this thing started.

[Magnito]

I didn't get my 4th :(

I think I would have gone with this one (which I forgot about the first time around)

Paradise by the Dashboard Light (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0ns8t9iQck) - Meatloaf and Ellen Foley

[JKLantern]

I didn't get my 4th :(

Paradise by the Dashboard Light (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0ns8t9iQck) - Meatloaf and Ellen Foley

Swap it out with any of mine, your pick.

[DTM]

Is that really a Duet, I mean Im a huge Meat Loaf fan, but I dont believe thats really considered a Meat/Ellen song.

[DTM]

Though in saying that, Ellen does sing in most of the song, and it is kind of a duet, so I guess I could let it in if you wanted (JKL kicking out one of his, permitting)

[Magnito]

Is that really a Duet, I mean Im a huge Meat Loaf fan, but I dont believe thats really considered a Meat/Ellen song.
She sings almost as much as he does. How is it not a duet?

[VelvetGuru9]

Though in saying that, Ellen does sing in most of the song, and it is kind of a duet, so I guess I could let it in if you wanted (JKL kicking out one of his, permitting)

Let JKL have his last pick and take out my 4th pick. It's not so much a duet as it's Michael Stipe doing background vocals on the chorus while Kristin Hersh sings the main verses.

[BudPalmer]

We get 4 picks?

[DTM]

She sings almost as much as he does. How is it not a duet?

Because its not a Meat / Ellen song, its a Meat Loaf song. Though again, as I mentioned afterwards, I do see your point to a degree, and if room is made you are allowed to nominate it in.

[DTM]

Let JKL have his last pick and take out my 4th pick. It's not so much a duet as it's Michael Stipe doing background vocals on the chorus while Kristin Hersh sings the main verses.

Done.

We get 4 picks?

Well, it was a first come first serve 4th pick, up til we reached out quota of 64 songs, which for the most part (lurker and Grinner awaiting) is now.

[DTM]

I have just been informed that lurker has given up his 3rd pick, so I will add in Mags' Meat Loaf song, keeping VG9's song as is on the list. Havent heard from Grinner lately (and I sent him a few PMs as well), anyone seen him around lately?

[JKLantern]

I'm pretty sure I've seen him on Clix vs. Comics at least once, but he's not on that often.

[Rokk_Krinn]

Grinner's been busy with the whole "return of school means he's back to work"-shtick, I think.

I've talked with him a little recently so I'm guessing he's still alive; just swamped.

[DTM]

OK, at this stage I guess we have little choice but to open up Grinners picks to others here. So we have 4 open slots now, so anyone who has not picked a 4th duet song as yet, can do so now.

[MSU]

let me know when I can have a 5th choice...I really want to add that Sheryl Crow/String song.

[MSU]

I already see so many of my favorites....Somewhere out there and Islands in the Stream.

[BudPalmer]

You can have my 4th, Charlie. I got all excited about a fourth pick before I realized I didn't have a fourth suggestion!


Don't judge me!

[JKLantern]

let me know when I can have a 5th choice...I really want to add that Sheryl Crow/String song.

I applaud your utter shamelessness, sir. :laugh:

[charlesx]

We get a 4th? OK, hold on, then...

[charlesx]

UNDER PRESSURE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSd-zZzVgLY&feature=related) (Annie Lennox/David Bowie)

and if that will not do...

STATE OF SHOCK (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbkFiM15Yhc) (Michael Jackson/Freddie Mercury)

[DTM]

Basically, the next 2 people (who have not had 4 picks as yet) can get in their 4th pick, which should finish us off and then we can get started in the actual TOC. First come first serve, so get in while you can.

[DTM]

UNDER PRESSURE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSd-zZzVgLY&feature=related) (Annie Lennox/David Bowie)

and if that will not do...

Well, youre more than welcome to pick this as your 4th, though after listening to it just now, I cant see for the life of me why you would. :p :)

[JKLantern]

I'm gonna laugh so hard if Under Pressure comes up against Under Pressure.

[DTM]

OK, to help us out a bit, those that dont yet have 4 picks are:

EmperorNorton
phantalien
BudPalmer
Space Jawa
Surfer13

So if any of those want another pick, first come first serve. If by this time tomorrow we are still missing picks, well allow 5th draws into the mix.

[BudPalmer]

I gave my 4th pick to Charlie!

[DTM]

Well he gets his 4th pick without you having to do that, so you can also get a 4th if you want, or you can be happy with your 3 and thats it (up to you) :)

[Magnito]

I think he meant he was giving up his 4th so MSU can have 5.

[BudPalmer]

Well he gets his 4th pick without you having to do that, so you can also get a 4th if you want, or you can be happy with your 3 and thats it (up to you) :)


Can I give away my forth and be so so about my three?



I think he meant he was giving up his 4th so MSU can have 5.


You're just saying that because it's true!

[DTM]

You definately dont need to pick a 4th, if youre happy with your 3 then thats fine, of course.

[EmperorNorton]

For my fourth pick I'll take Peaches & Iggy Pop - Kick it (link in a previous post).

[DTM]

Care to repost the link, sos I dont have to look thru 10 pages to find it. :)

[EmperorNorton]

Peaches & Iggy Pop - Kick it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILjUe-znXE4)


Here it is.

[charlesx]

Well, youre more than welcome to pick this as your 4th, though after listening to it just now, I cant see for the life of me why you would. :p :)

Oh, the heck with that! You already influenced the vote against it!!! :p

I'll go with State of Shock, thanks very much.

(Annie Lennox hatah!) :laugh:

[JKLantern]

Do you need a hug?

[hail_eris]

Grinner's online right now - are his picks still open?

[BudPalmer]

Release the hounds!

[DTM]

Yep, just got all I needed, so this TOC should be starting Soon!

[readyeddy?]

There's an awful lot of mysteries on that front page yet. You planning on surprising us?

[JKLantern]

If I got a fifth pick, I was gonna do Burt Reynolds/That Alligator "Let's Make Music Together" from All Dogs Go to Heaven. ;)

[DTM]

There's an awful lot of mysteries on that front page yet. You planning on surprising us?

Maybe. :)

OK all, at this stage this ROCK WARS TOC has Begun! So get yer butts on down there and Start Voting!

[DTM]

Just a heads up for those that may not know, this Duets TOC has Begun, so for all of you who are interested (aka anyone whos nominated some songs), I ask that you please get down there and vote on Matches 1 - 4 asap, as this time tomorrow they will all be Closed.
