I personally adore the Cash/Strummer redemption song but it very much sounds like the outtake it is. Just barely out of the top 5, of course in the Garth Brooks & Kiss Kollaboration on "Hard Luck Woman."

I know there's a whole lot of soul ones I'm forgetting, and an Evan Dando & Julianna Hatfield one I'm not remembering correctly...

i think there's some dispute whether Bowie was actually doing backing vox on the Mott version. great production collaboration for sure, though i prefer Bowie's original Spiders version, with his great sax line and vocal.

I love "Easy Lover" by Philip Bailey and, shudder, Phil Collins.
That JennyB She'll get a hold on you believe it.
It's got a catchy melody and I love Philip Bailey's voice.
Of all the Phil Collins stuff it's pretty bearable. I've a friend called John (not that one) who would play it to death in his car when it was released so it took on a whole new level of ridicule.

I always love these kinds of admissions (arguably my most embarrassing one is Wang Chung's "Let's Go," tho Paul Young's "Wherever I Leave My Hat" might be worse)—it's like Catholic confession for music fans. I'm pretty sure I've shared this story, but a friend who used to be a music writer occasionally asked me for questions when he would interview someone I was especially interested in. I always told him to ask the person to name a song they love that would appall their fans to know this. He asked this to Jello Biafra, who answered, "I kinda like Glenn Frey's 'The Heat Is On.'" I really hope to meet Jello one day just to ask him what he thinks of that song.
