Support NeoGAF

[Stumpokapow]

i know pop gaf turns your brains into mush but if anything from 2017 is your greatest anything of all time you probably need to take an ativan and go to bed

 

[Nickle]

We should take PopGaf and push it somewhere else.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Tom Waits and Crystal Gayle for an entire glorious album.

This is true. Amazing stuff.

 

[Yado]

Sometimes the musical tastes on GAF just leave me baffled. But hey, that's all good. We are a very diverse group.

I believe the song broke a record for the time it spent on the charts, it's not a GAF thing.

 

[show me your skeleton]

nick cave & kylie mynogue would like a word with you.

 

[theJwac]

That Mariah Carey duet with Boyz II Men (that's how I think it's spelled, anyway) was inescapable when I was a kid. Fuck that song.

Yeah, that collaboration was everywhere. I think it was "our song" for a least 2 or 3 of my 7th and 8th grade romances.

 

[Souldriver]

I know it is 'cool' to plead ignorance over popular stuff, but I maybe have heard Closer like 5 times total.

Maybe it was mostly a hit in the USA and less in Europe, or I've just been sheltered.

But so if you are measuring 'greatest duet' in terms of popularity and omnipresence, I can't agree.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

nick cave & kylie mynogue would like a word with you.

Nick Cave and PJ Harvey also.

Mynogue making Cave radio friendly though is a miracle.

 

[TissueBox]

No I don't think so in my personal opinion and belief within the boundaries of my right to agree and disagree.

 

[jstripes]

Thread's also missing Paradise by the Dashboard Light by Meatloaf.

 

[Peccavi]

Unforgettable

 

[Redd]

To me I still haven't heard a good The Chainsmokers song. Turn the station every time their current songs come up.

Most people know this music even though they probably donlt know who wrote it.

 

[lord quas]

Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra, anyone?

 

[pokeystaples]

Thread's also missing Paradise by the Dashboard Light by Meatloaf.

Came here for this. One of the greatest.

 

[Maple-Tech]

What does biggest duet even mean?

 

[shink]

MJ and JJ's Scream is probably my favourite. Though it's not that catchy, it's the perfect combination of the time it was released and fantastic video.

 

[jstripes]

Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie is also 1,000,000x better than Closer.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

What? No. Not at all and this is coming from a fan of Alex and Drew.

Oh je t'aime, oui je t'aime

 

[Poor GRIMES]

Girl WHAT.

Mariah Carey, Boy II Men - One Sweet Day
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXxRyNvTPr8

"One Sweet Day" became Carey's tenth chart topping single on the Billboard Hot 100 and Boyz II Men's fourth. The song remained at the peak for a record-breaking, 16 consecutive weeks, from December 2, 1995 to March 16, 1996

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

A much better duet with Ne-Yo and swag itself

 

[Qasiel]

Thread's also missing Paradise by the Dashboard Light by Meatloaf.

Don't forget Dead Ringer For Love for another awesome Meat Loaf duet, this time with Cher:

Full video

 

[Htown]

One Sweet Day

just looked it up, that song stayed at #1 on Billboard for SIXTEEN STRAIGHT WEEKS

 

[theaface]

I've enjoyed this thread, starting with the crazy OP. You could say I've Had The Time of My Life.

 

[whatsinaname]

Not in a universe where Kidman and William's Something Stupid exists.

Why does this sound so awesome when I don't understand a single word.

 

[Poor GRIMES]

It's a bomb ass song too, well deserved. Actual vocals unlike Halsey's screeching

 

[Linkura]

NeoGAF truly baffles me sometimes.

 

[tim.mbp]

The Girl from Ipanema. Like a million different duet versions.

 

[Switch Back 9]

Mary J Blige and Method Man - All I Need.

There I can do it too.

Also I legitimately, 100% no bullshit have no idea what the OP song is. Well, not until this thread anyway.

 

[LionPride]

 

[Mango Positive]

Lita and the Oz say no.

Close My Eyes Forever

(Kind of joking, but you should listen)

 

[brawly]

Sarah Brightman & Andrea Bocelli - Time to Say Goodbye

 

[The Faceless Master]

it's gotta be either I'm Real (Remix) or Thug Lovin;

 

[Skux]

It's not a duet unless both parts actually sing together.

 

[akira28]

the ' i wanna fuck you like an animal ' song?

Oh je t'aime, oui je t'aime

this song is like doing drugs

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

Closer=Nine Inch Nails so that's a no for me dawg

 

[Walter White Walker]

I can think of 15 songs off the top of my head where two people sing that are better than that.

 

[jstripes]

NeoGAF truly baffles me sometimes.

Hey guys, is the Big Bang Theory the biggest sitcom of all time?

 

[daviyoung]

It's not a duet unless both parts actually sing together.

Closer stays winning

 

[Dynomutt]

LMAO and I'm accepting of new music. Tammy Terrell and Marvin Gaye would like to challenge you post OP. Ain't no Mountain High is a timeless classic duet.

 

[nitewulf]

That's a great one.

"Ain't no Mountain High Enough" by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.

My favorite. She was so beautiful.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IC5PL0XImjw

I know the Diana Ross version was also a massive hit but nothing tops the original.

 

[Fat4all]

i like Endless Love

diana and lionel

 

[Lord Error]

I can't for the life of me remember that song enough to be able to hum it, even if I wanted. The melody is weird and incredibly forgettable, even though I've heard it many times.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Stupidest lyrics maybe lol

 

[phanphare]

The Girl from Ipanema. Like a million different duet versions.

there's only one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJkxFhFRFDA

but seriously I came in here to post that

 

[perfectchaos007]

like that mattress that you stole from your roommate back in Boulder.

Classic

 

[Goldenroad]

"Ain't no Mountain High Enough" by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.

Ding ding ding. That performance still resonates 50 years later. No one will remember the Chainsmokers 5 years from now.

 

[LionPride]

Closer ain't even a good song for fucks sake

 

[Yaboosh]

Even the Gotye song is better/more popular.
