Just as an opposite to the "worst duets" thread, which duets do you find a manna for the ears? Here's some I enjoy:

Nick Cave & PJ Harvey - Henry Lee
These two are sooo like each other's doppelganger it's scary. And few do "a woman scorned" thing better than Polly Jean.

Nick Cave & Kylie Minogue - Where the Wild Roses Grow
An improbable combination that somehow works in a beautiful way to create a gorgeous, haunting ballad.

Bono & Andrea Corr - Summer Wine
Some people would probably go "pffffft" at the mention of the Corrs, but I think that there's a genuine chemistry between their voices and it's a damn sexy duet, too.

Pavarotti & U2 - Miss Sarajevo
What made me admire Bono even more is that, after listening to the whole Sarajevo concert that song was performed at, I realised that he was the only one smart enough not to compete with Pavarotti's voice.

Gwen Stefani & Eve - Let Me Blow Ya Mind
I'm not that big on rap, but this one is just too cool for words.
 
Freddie Mercury & Monserat Cabalie - Barcelona
Queen & David Bowie - Under Pressure
Sting And Dire Straits - Money For Nothing
Eric Clapton & Beatles - While My Guitar Gently weeps
Eric clapton & Sting - It's Probably Me
 
Thom Yorke and Bjork - I've Seen it All
Bono and Sinatra - Got you Under My Skin
Sinead O'Connor and Willie Nelson - Don't Give Up
Micheal Stipe and Vic Chestnut - Injured Bird
 
Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - You're all I need to get by
Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris - Hearts on Fire
Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - Hold me oh my Darling

Not a duet, just a double-tracked George vocal. Eric plays the lead guitar.
