10 Best Duets Ever: No. 7

'Candy'
--Iggy Pop and Kate Pierson (1990)

Iggy went through a "radio-friendly" phase in the late '80s and early '90s, culminating in his inclusion on the 'Pretty Woman' soundtrack and this unlikely pairing with this B-52s vocalist. The tale of an ex-con reaching out to his lost love after 20 years, 'Candy' makes brilliant use of Iggy's sly, world-weary baritone and Pierson's usual sunny tones. The result is an unheralded modern-rock classic.

How come every song on the ten worst I have heard of and rather like and every song on the ten best I have NEVER heard. I've been dancing since I was seven and so I listen to music that inspire one to dance. oviously the writer have no clue on what make a good song.

I don't know why, but I do find myself not changing the station when this one comes on. It's kinda catchy, you know?
