Best guest appearance, musical division

Joe Ely supplying Spanish phrases to The Clash's "Should I Stay or Should I Go".

 

Excellent call.

 

John Prine backed by Bruce Springsteen & Albert Lee on 'Take A Look At My Heart'.

 

Brian Wilson vocals on Neil Diamond's Delirious Love. I just heard a version without Wilson's backup and it was still good, but missing something. It took me a minute to realize what it was.

 

Mick Jagger/Keith Richards and John Lennon/Paul McCartney swapping backup vocals on "All You Need Is Love" (B's) and "We Love You," (Stones).

 

Tina turner on zappa's montana

Stevie ray Vaughan on Bowie's let's dance

The horn section of kool and the gang on Genesis's no reply at all.


Also, an urban legend for years had rod Stewart playing harmonica om Minnie small's my boy lollipop.

 

It may be a marginal inclusion since he played on the whole album.... but I love Branford Marsalis' work on Sting's "Fortress Around Your Heart."

Paul Westerberg on Joan Jett's "Backlash."

 

KRS-1 and ... everyone.

 

No, those were the EWF (Earth, Wind and Fire) horns, who also did a lot of work on Phil Collins' first four solo albums (known and credited as the Phenix Horns).

 

That's the worst and most trite song on Wrecking Ball, and Morello's guitar is buried in the mix.

 

You are correct. I was going off memory. Still, a great guest appearance.

 

If you are counting session work, Glen Campbell has a resume that crushes most everyone else. In the 60s he recorded with numerous acts including the Beach Boys, Elvis, Sinatra and Dean Martin.
