Duets List?

[samjjones]

Billy Joel's "It's Still Rock and Roll" is not a classic duet. Neither is Santana's "Smooth" (only Rob Thomas sings).

Rest of the list looks pretty good at quick glance.

You can count the Beasties songs as "duets" (well, actually they are three vocal parts).

Actually It's Still Rock And Roll To Me is charted as a true duet in the game

[LoopyChew]

So far I've found 22 songs and alot of them were not listed under the 2 vocals (since alot of the songs have a back up vocal as well)

Can anyone else add any I'm missing?

1. It's Still Rock and Roll To Me
2. Don't You Want Me
3. In The End
4. Somewhere I Belong
5. I Need To Know
6. Obsession
7. Airplanes
8. Who Says You Can't Go Home
9. Total Eclipse Of The Heart
10. Tubthumping
11. You Make Me Feel...
12. Stereo Hearts
13. Need You Now
14. Paradise By The Dashboard Light
15. Under Pressure (RB3 Version)
16. Living Dead Girl
17. The Look
18. Tell Me Something Good
19. Smooth
20. Party For Two
21. We Built This City
22. Stop Dragging My Heart Around

Also proper duets (as in trading lines) but not charted as such due to being Legacy DLC:
ABC
Livin' at the Corner of Dude and Catastrophe
You're No Rock N Roll Fun
Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine Part 1
Naked Eye (I think; might actually be three-part)
Bring Me to Life (kinda; I guess most Evanescence would work here?)
Clint Eastwood
One Step Closer

Probably missing others, too.

2112 is charted like a duet in places, even though it's technically the same vocalist for both parts.

The only part where it is like that is in "Presentation". And since "Presentation" can't be played separately from "Discovery" and "Oracle: The Dream", I didn't think it really counts.

Who else is Billy Joel singing with on that song? If the masters included two separate vocal stems (both with Billy Joel on them)...that's kinda silly to keep them separated instead of mixing them together, no? Probably 90% of every song ever produced has some kind of vocal overdubs on it.

Don't some of Billy Joel's lines overlap with each other in that song, to the point where he couldn't sing it the exact same way in concert? I remember seeing Eminem live and being disappointed that he didn't rap everything, leaving many lines to background singers. I wondered at first if he was trying to save his voice, or just being lazy, but it's more likely that some of his songs overlap in that same way and just CAN'T be performed by a single person live, not without changing the flow.

How about "The Longest Time"? By which I mean, we need that song in Rock Band (although it has more than 3 vocal parts, and NO instruments, so yeah, it would be a pretty radical choice - BUT STILL). But also I mean, would you count that as a duet? OK, there are several reasons why that's not a fair comparison. It's all Billy Joel singing all of the parts, but it's not like he's pitting 2 vocal ranges against each other as a duet (with several other ranges spelling out the harmony and percussion, etc.).

In conclusion I'm going to agree that, the way it's charted in RB, It's Still Rock and Roll to Me is performed much like a true duet and should be on the list.

Yeah, I knew about them, but I was only wanting songs that are actually charted in the game as true duets.

Whip It

King of Rock by Run-DMC would definitely make the list.
