* Joe Gore, with Waits. He only plays on a few tracks on Bone Machine, but his parts are among the best on the album.
* Carlos Alomar and Earl Slick with Bowie.
*John McLaughlin with Miles Davis

Vai is great on PiL’s Album, but he’s mainly doing the solos/ stunt guitar stuff. A lot of the rhythm parts are another player. Interstingly, Bill Laswell and Lyndon were in talks to get Vai to join full time for the tour but didn’t happen.
Vini Reilly on VIva Hate is a fabulous call. Reilly actually spoke to Morrissey about a follow up, but Mozz ended up ditching both Vini and producer Stephen Street after a while. Result? Career stall.
Jimmy Page’s playing on Roy Harper’s Jugula album is fabulous.
If he’s not playing on it, then Nile Rogers’ spirit and influence is all over the INXS track ‘Original SIn’ which he produced. He effectively put the rocket boosters on their career with that one riff and beat.
Bryan Ferry’s solo records are full of name players. Gilmour’s a famous example: Some lovely playing on the ‘Boys and Girls’ album and ‘Bete Noir’. On ‘Bete Noir’ Ferry famously took a Smiths B side (Money Changes Everything), gave it lyrics and made “The Right Stuff” with Johnny Marr. What a track! Yers later Johnny inspired and played on a track called “Soldier of Fortune” off Ferry’s “Avonmore” album. Another killer song.
Honestly, when it comes to studio albums Bryan Ferry believes in a big squad and lots of rotation. If he was a football manager he’d be a chairman’s worst nightmare. Thankfully music is different and he’s made some great records.

Speaking of Luke, I also love his work on The Tubes, Completion Backward Principle.
I think this track features the definitive Dumble Overdrive Special tone. Steve Gadds on it as well.
