If you could put 2 of your favorite liviing artists together recording a new studio album

Buckingham & Nicks... you know, just for fun!...

 

Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young....party of four. Your table is now ready.

 

Steve Perry and Neal Schon... and not a Journey album. Something that allows Perry to sing the way his voice is today. Neal will come up with something to compliment it.

 

I agree about the age factor that’s why I picked Jeff Lynne ( older but still recording new music) and Tears For Fears.

 

Joni mitchell and Richard thompson

 

I'd like to see a Radiohead / Eno collaboration.

 

Mike Scott and Steve Kilbey lead my two favorite bands but I'm certain that anything they attempted to collaborate on would be unlistenable. One is spiritually-inclined genre-hopping based in pop, rock, and soul, and the other is atmospheric space-rock narcosis with half-sung, pun-laced esoteric poetry on top. That would go down about as well as a glass of vinegar and soap.

 

John Fogerty & Bob Seger. Two legendary performers who could challenge each other.

 

Johnette Napolitano(Concrete Blonde singer/Bass Guitar)
The Heartbreakers (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers)
I have a strong feeling something great could come of this . If you must have a name, so be it, I give you:
Johnette And the Heartbreakers

 

Mine is Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, with the same emphasis.

 

Partridge and Moulding.

 

Neither seem likely...but we can always hope!

 

Brian Eno and David Sylvian

 

Axl/Slash/Duff may be a reality much sooner than later.

I'd like to hear Police or REM or Talking Heads do something in the studio. ABBA may already exist.

Did Stevie Wonder and Aretha duets album get started?

 

Paul McCartney with Alan Parsons
The Moody Blues with Jeff Lynne

 

Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison .

 

They haven’t been living musicians in a long, long time.

 

Sorry, I didn't really realize it was about live artists.

 

Interesting, thought-provoking thread, OP!

Brian Setzer + JD McPherson
Johnny Marr + Miles Kane
Liam Gallagher + Chris Martin (Coldplay)
Van McCann (Catfish & The Bottlemen) + Kiaran Cook (The Sherlocks)
Natalie Merchant + Jenny Lewis

 

Sounds like a law firm I wouldn’t hire.

 

Richard Thompson and Mark Knopfler thank you very much.

or mix and match with Ry Cooder.

I have always wanted a collaboration, as it works on paper. Who knows, they may have tried...

 

With opening acts The Kinks ha ha

More seriously, David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes, and what if they could rope in Tony Iommi? That could be very cool.

Chvrches and...somebody. Not sure who. I love this band but want them to swerve somewhat stylistically.

 

Well, how about Mr. Waters and Mr. Gilmour?

 

Todd Rundgren and Daryl Hall
