Pop songs which non-pop musicians you really like have unexpectedly contributed to...
Did anyone else know Owen Pallett did the strings on the last Robbie Williams single?

I also alwas found it weird that Emiliana Torrini co-wrote Kylie Minogue's Slow. I used to love Unemployed in Summertime when I was younger.

I can't check this just now
but I'm sure that Doggen (Spiritualized guitarist) played on either Sound of the Underground or No Good Advice.
Some of the guys from Low play on the new Swans album.
:D
Owen Pallet was also on this Linkin Park track

Also are we still allowed to say Bon Iver/Kanye West?
Emiliana Torrini/Slow is my stock answer
Not really on the same scale, but Lene Marlin <3 wrote 'Good Girl Gone Bad' from Rihanna's album of the same name.
The Owen Pallett thing is just weird, ha!
Lene Marlin?
Fucking Hell, that takes me back...
Lene Marlin's second album is superb...
...still gets regular spins from me. Just a shame no one gave a shit by then. Except Rihanna, obvs!
Jonny Depp plays guitar on Champagne Supernova by Oasis.
Actually, mabe it was Fade In-Out on Be Here Now.
Either way, Jonny Depp has played guitar on an Oasis album.
Paul Weller on Champagne Supernova I think
Johnny Depp also...
plays guitar on the most recent Babybird album and directed the music video for Unlovable for him.
I've a feeling he might have pretty much financed the album too but perhaps I invented that.
Pallett's been doing a fair bit of string stuff for pop acts
Eg Mika and Taylor Swift as well.
Tim Armstrong from The Rancids wrote/produced stuff for Pink or something.
Johnny Marr played guitar and harmonica on a Girls Aloud album
The fat bloke from The Bravery writing She Wolf for Shakira
[NB some facts in this post are probably wrong]
Oh oh oh
that bloke from OMD writing all of Atomic Kitten's songs. What?
That Kylie album that the Manics wrote a bunch of songs for
Nico Muhly arranged the strings for Climax I think.

Stephen Malkmus wrote Call Me Maybe
the guy from A wrote loads of McFly stuff
the blowk from Rancid wrote a few Pink hits I think
Mike Watt plays on the Kelly Clarkson album. Well the first one anyway I guess there's probs another by now.
wait the title says 'really like'
I really like Mike Watt. I don't really like the bloke from Rancid (Tim Armstrong).
Beck co-wrote Feel Good Time by Pink
with William Orbit and originally recorded it himself before giving it to her instead.
Diamanda Galas
originally wrote Tik Tok for herself, but wasn't happy with the recorded version, so gave it to Ke$ha
my friend told me that James Dean Bradfield wrote a big Spice Girls power ballad
but couldn't get credited because of contractual pish for Manic Street Preachers, but still gets loads of money for it.
the song might've been Viva Forever?
don't really like James Dean Bradfield though.
here's a picture of them all together that doesn't prove anything
