Guest Vocals

Will:
Just wondering what you guys think about guest vocals on bands' albums?  Are there any that you think made that particular song perfect?  Or the other way around; the song was completely ruined by the guest appearance? 

I posted this because on the way home tonight I was listening to White Pony by the Deftones, and was reminded how fucking perfect the song "Passenger" is, because of the guest appearance from Maynard.  Out of that whole group of "mainstream alternative" bands, I've always thought Chino and Maynard were the best vocalists, and to hear them together on a song was mindblowing.

Johnny C:
The guest appearance of Ludacris will invariably improve a song.

IronOxide:
Yes Johnny, always and forever.

I find the guest vocals by Laura Veirs on "Yankee Bayonet" by the Decemberists really makes the song. I also feel that "Baby Grand" is one of the best tracks that Billy Joel ever recorded, and it would have been kind of lackluster without Ray Charles.

Will:
I was really glad that Converge had Jonah Jenkins from No Living Witness guest on their new album, partly because he is amazing, and partly because Jake Bannon utterly fails when it comes to having to sing clean vocals.

Ernest:
Eddie Vedder did guest vocals on Bad Religion's Recipe For Hate.  I don't know if he does a good job or not since I haven't listened to much off that album.
