Best Boy/Girl Duos
In honor of Valentine's Day, that grandest and most chocolated of all the Hallmark Holidays - and because there seems to be a trend ala the rise of The White Stripes and The Kills - I've compiled a list of my favorite musical boy/girl duos. Criteria for inclussion on this love-silly list are as follows:
a) couples must be primarily a duo or the core writing / recording part of a band...
b) said duo / band must be the artists' bread and butter gig - no duet albums or cameos please...
c) duos must be boy/girl - while my personal politics emphatically support same sex unions, it's a whole different dynamic musically speaking, plus there are too many to consider here - so Hall & Oates and the Heart sisters will have to wait for their own lists. Maybe Memorial Day.
Happy Valentine's Day!

What no Ike and Tina? How about Johnny Cash and June Carter do they qualify?

Im impressed, I must say. Very seldom do I discover a blog that is both educational and entertaining, and let me tell you, youve hit the nail on the head. Your blog is outstanding; the issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.

@Dead Air ummm Dead Air: Agreed. Even coming from him, the ignorance and arrogance is impressive.

Are you positive which you have the facts straight? I have read a variety of articles that contradict what you said here, so I do not know what to believe.

Have you thought about adding some videos to the article? I think it will really enhance everyone's understanding.

That is an interesting point, it made me think a bit. Thank you for sparking my thinking cap. Oftentimes I get so much in a rut that I just feel like a record.
