Only two I think, Arthur Lee and Kurt Cobain . I heard Lou Reed at Glastonbury but didn't actually see him.

This was the very last song that the late great Billy Mackenzie contributed on, and what a song - from Apollo 440's 'Electroglide in Blue' one of my all-time favourite albums and a criminally under-rated classic. For me this is the greatest ever break-up song, just listen to the lyrics:

I'm gonna love you, till you love me then no more
You're gonna need me, like I need you right now
I'm gonna screw you, for all you're worth and no more
You're gonna need me, it's the same in any language

Ouch! Sadly, Mackenzie killed himself shortly after finishing recording.
