Rock and Pop: What is your favourite duo and what are some of your favourite songs by that duo?

Two's company, but three's a crime for this question. As we want groups comprising of TWO people, no more, no less.

Mine is this classic English synthpop duo that you either LOVE or HATE (oddly enough I'm the former not the later)

The Pet Shop Boys

My favourite PSB songs are:

Always On My Mind:

Domino Dancing:

Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money):

    Mine is a duo, but they use Elvis' backing band on their records and on tour:

    Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris: "A Song for You" is my favorite song and both GP and Grievous Angel are brilliant records.

    Goodie Mobb - Soul Food Julie Christmas - The Bad Wife Norma Jean - Meridional BQ. I've only listened to Soul Food twice now and I like it so much it would definitely be a favourite. I like the other two albums but they're aren't really highlights for me at least. I think you might like Julie Christmas and the bands she's been in. BQ2. I'm grand, bit bored but grand overall. BQ3. Neurosis - Lost
