I'm no expert on what "featuring" means, but I guess it could be broader than we think :P

Dunnery is a great guitarist, but I’m kind of baffled by everything I’ve heard from It Bites and his solo work. Just makes really odd music.
Man, I am with you 100% on this. I just don't get It Bites at all. I've tried numerous times, but it's the only band John Mitchell has been a part of that I can't stand.

Cool idea for a thread. Nothing comes immediately to mind though, except a bunch of Within Temptation's songs on their past couple albums. But that is more in line with 'Songs from an artist you like featuring an artist you have never heard of.'

I can’t say I’ve tried that hard (Frost* in particular are a band I’ve kind of been meaning to get around to giving a fair listen to), but I’ve heard a number of songs from Frost*, Kino, Lonely Robot, probably some Arena and It Bites here and there, and none of it sent me out to pick up an album, ya know?
