davidd. Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Hi all, I hope this finds you in good health. So, recently, I started a list of the most iconic collaborations in music to date, and the list may be a bit biased, so I want to know your opinion on the topic! What do you think is the most iconic collaboration on a single song? It can be from any era, but I want to know what song stands out most in your mind. Personally, I think it has to be Lady Gaga's Telephone, which featured the one and only, Queen Bey. I have vivid memories of flipping through the music channels on TV as a child, and hoping I'll find Telephone on one of the them. This is the first music video I remember absolutely loving. Gaga and Bey created a masterpiece with Telephone, and I can't stop playing it to this day. Leave your responses below! I'd love to see what you think.

Songs with multiple artists involved for charity, such as that one, always remind me of Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas?— which is a Christmas anthem. I always saw music as something everyone can unite in. It brings everyone together, especially during tough times. And, by doing these types of songs, it only strengthens that idea. I love the sentiment, and I definitely agree with you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.George Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 There are many iconic collaborations. I would probably have to go with Band Aid 30 - Do They Know It’s Christmas?. This song was another version of the iconic Band Aid back in the 1980's. 18 different artists/bands collaborated to raise money for charities fighting Ebola. It is also a great Christmas song, with a great meaning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad. Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 While there are many iconic collaborations a personal favourite of mine would be Linkin Park & Jay-Z with Numb/Encore, two talents from different genres coming together that made it naturally work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned the original Do They Know It's Christmas? in a response above, but I love when loads of artists get together for different causes. It creates a sense of unity in music.

Definitely one to put down on the list. I agree, it weirdly works... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FernandoCR [ESP] Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Quite lost when it comes to current music (I'm still "anchored" to the 80's in that regard) so the 2 collaborations that I can remember as iconic would be "USA for Africa - We are the world", with Michael Jackson and lots of other artists, and as a more face-to-face one, "Walk this way", with Run DMC and Aerosmith.
