that's more of a collaboration/duet, as opposed to a song sung by a member of the band who doesn't normally sing.

"Reach Out" - Iron Maiden (vocals by Adrian Smith, Somewhere In Time era b-side.) LOVE that song!

Any James Kirk 'sung' (and never have inverted commas been more warranted) Orange Juice track.

Off the top of my head I think there were three. 'Three Cheers For Our Side', 'Wan Light' and 'You Old Eccentric'.

Keith sings 'Happy', but I'll also throw out 'Thru and Thru' and 'Before They Make Me Run'.

And a couple of my favourite GnR tracks are Izzy's 'Dust 'n Bones' and 'Double Talkin' Jive'.

And "Little T & A"

I'll add "Texarkana" by R.E.M to the mix.

Tumbling Dice is Sir Mick...

ALL KEEF SONGS ARE GOOD SONGS:
Connection
Wanna Hold You
Thief in the Night
You got the Silver (co vox)
Memory Motel (co vox)

the list goes on.

Have to quibble with this one. Benjamin Orr shared vocal duties with Ric Ocasek and sang many of their biggest hits - "Let's Go", "Just What I Needed", "Bye Bye Love", etc.

Pops Staples taking over for Mavis on:
"Heavy Makes You Happy (Sha-Na-Boom-Boom)"

It's perfect.
Mavis is SCREAMING at you: "GO DO THIS!!! YOU MUST!!!"
And then Pops comes in, and his voice is like a comforting, warm blanket; a big hug that says, "You can do this, baby. I love you and know that you can."

The dichotomy was incredible. And I always look forward to Pops coming in with a lead vocal.
