    Music isn't created in a vacuum - it evolves, and is inspired and influenced by artists before them.
    As an opportunity to discover new music, or just for kicks, what are some examples that particularly strike you as a blend of two other artists' work?

    I'll kick this off:
    Led Zeppelin + (Simon and Garfunkel) =


    Days, from the Grapes of Wrath's 1991 album, These Days.
    These Days (The Grapes of Wrath album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia »

    The overused Beatlesque or Lennon/McCartney metaphor was often trotted out to describe the dual singing, songwriting and harmonizing pair of bassist Tom Hooper and guitarist Kevin Kane. Simon and Garfunkel is a more apt comparison, in my mind, combined with the Physical Graffiti-era layered guitars of Kevin Kane on this tune.

    Stealing a line here from Robin Williamson (I think): cross The Incredible String Band with Pentangle, and you get The Impenetrable String Tangle :p
