10 Best Duets Ever: No. 1

'Fairytale of New York'
--Kirsty MacColl and Shane McGowan (The Pogues) (1987)

A guy in the drunk tank reminiscing about his junkie girlfriend doesn't exactly scream Merry Christmas, but McGowan and MacColl invest this yuletide tale of love in the gutter with so much heart it's hard not to get choked up. Following a reissue in the wake of MacColl's tragic death in 2000, the song has routinely topped Best Christmas Song polls in the U.K.

OMG are those who compiled these lists on crack or what? Do they even know what GOOD music is? From the look of these lists doubtful. I wouldn't sign my name to these lists either. They know nothing about music and less about duets.

Best detached duet for my money is the late Jim Reeves and the late Patsy Cline! Wow!!! If two great voices ever belonged together it is these two, at least in my humble opinion!!!
