Favorite guest appearance on a prog album? - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Artists used to make guest appearances on each other's albums throughout the 1970s!

What are your favorites? I'll start with Jon Anderson's vocals on "Prince Rupert Awakes," King Crimson "Lizard!"

Robert Fripp : Electric guitar solo on VDGG The Emperor in his war room (from H to He, who .... 1970 Charisma)

From the top of my head: Randy California (from Spirit) on guitar for Peter Hammill's Red Shift. A perfect match! (the remaster is from 2006, but the track is from 1974)

Blue Oyster Cult - Frankenstein, featuring Joey Cerisano - the finest rock singer in the world who no one's ever heard of. Geek

John Wetton with After Crying, Struggle for Life

“I don’t like country music, but I don’t mean to denigrate those who do. And for those who like country music, denigrate means to ‘put down.'” – Bob Newhart

Off the top of my head (in no particular order):

Clare Torry on "Great Gig in the Sky"

Darlene Love on Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter"

The Blind Boys of Alabama on Peter Gabriel' "Sky Blue"

Jon Anderson on 4Him's "The Only Thing I Need"

Bono with Clannad on "in a Lifetime"

Phil Collins on Phillip Bailey's "Easy Lover"

Eric Clapton on Stephen Bishop's Careless

Todd Rundgren's band backing Hall & Oates on the entire War Babies album

Weather Report (minus Joe Zawinul; with Jaco) on Joni Mitchell's Don Juan's Reckless Daughter, the whole album

Adrian Belew and Wiliiam S. Boroughs on Laurie Anderson's Mister Heartbreak

Robert Fripp (and other KC members) on The Roches' Keep on Doing

Michael Jackson on anyone else's album or song

Danny and Victoria Thompson on anyone else's album

Tony Levin on anyone else's album (but especially Al Di Meola's Scenario and Rosie Vela's Zazu)

So many guests on Kate Bush albums but especially David Gilmour, Danny Thompson, Eberhard Weber, and the Trio Bulgarka.

Elizabeth Fraser on Massive Attack's "Teardrop"

Iggy Pop on Ryuichi Sakamoto's "Risky"

All of Ryuichi Sakamoto's collaborations with both David Sylvian and Arto Lindsay

Steve Hackett on anything he guests . . .

Too many to mention.

did he guest on anything in the 70s?

Just the first in mind:

David Gilmour on Pete Townsend White City and Brian Ferry's Boys and Girls

Yes on Wakeman's Six Wives

Mel Collins with al lot of people, Camel and Clannad in particular.

Bono vocals on Macalla , same album as Mel

Jon Anderson on Heaven and Hell before Jon and Vangelis

Steve Rothery live with Tangerine Dream

Viv Mc Auliffe on The Geese and The Ghost

Troy Donohan with Mostly Autumn

Marius Duda with Iamthemorning

A curiosity: Ted "Jesus Christ" Neeley on Dead Ringer, the second Meat Loaf album.

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

The thread creator wants guests on 70s albums. I don't know much about it, can't think of any that is important/relevant. Rick Wakeman helping out Black Sabbath in 1973? Confused

Exactly! Wakeman also appeared on Bowie's "Space Oddity!"

This is a great article, lots of stuff I didn't know!

p.s. the 1970's LP was just to get us started!!

I first heard amazing fretless bassist Percy Jones on Eno's "Another Green World!" I had to go "Who the F is THAT???" (look at the lineup....Phil Collins!)
