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

Ooh, yes. Very good.

 

Kate Bush and Dave Gilmour. They've been good friends for decades. They've done a couple of collaborations in the past. Could be an interesting album.

 

I will take Stephen Sondheim's lyrics with Burt Bacharach's melodies, who writes the chords is up to them.

Otherwise, I'd be extremely excited if Lin-Manual Miranda's next project was a Lizzo collaboration album.

 

Kate Bush and Brian May

Michael Steele (formerly of The Bangles) and Jeff Lynne.

 

Justin Hayward and Mike Pinder. Gees guys, bury the hatchet will ya...we only live once!

Oh the great music that could have been...

 

How about three?

• Chrissie Hynde
• David Gilmour
• Bob Geldof

Here’s a representative sample...

 

Jimmy Page and Jon Anderson. Page needs a singer who can write interesting - not stooped - lyrics and provide a quality voice.

 

Paul Cotton and Timothy B. Schmit

Paul McCartney and Barry Gibb

 

Funny to see so many people wishing for Jeff Lynne to work with their favorite artists. I love Jeff Lynne, but I really don't need him making any more artists to sound like The Traveling Wilbury's, which is sadly about all he seems capable of anymore, unless, of course, he is singing his own old E.L.O. songs. That new E.L.O. album reeks of a bunch of Traveling Wilburys type songs and I really have no use for any of them. The Wilbury's were a neat short-lived side project, but without Dylan, Petty, Orbison or Harrison, it just seems so yesterday to me.

I also had to laugh at the thought of McCartney working with Taylor Swift, as I can already imagine "The Girl Is Mine" or "Say, Say, Say" type crappy songs that we would probably get.

My choice would be to get Supertramp's Roger Hodgson together with Jellyfish's Andy Sturmer and see what magic they might produce?

 

Bill Frisell and David Holland

 

i'm up for that duo! Maybe throw a little Rusty Young in there and who knows, instant POCO reunion???

 

Neil Young and Taylor Swift. With a band including Ralph and Billy and Paul and Grant

 

Mike Patton and __________________ fill in the blank.

 

Jeff Beck and Morrissey. Beck laid down some guitar work on 2009's Black Cloud, from Years of Refusal. Would be cool to hear an entire album.

 

Mike Rutherford
Tony Banks
Ray Wilson
Let's call it Genesis. Ray has matured into a fantastic songwriter and performer, maybe this time Mike and Tony can reel in expectations a bit, focus on theaters(at least in USA, to start), not stadiums. Create a great album and let it grow naturally. There is a GREAT Genesis album here, I fully believe this.

 

Jackson Browne/Mark Knopfler

 

Brian Wilson and Brian May

 

Mark Knopfler and Michael Steele would be another killer pairing.

 

Naming two estranged, former bandmates wasn’t witty the first time.

And please name who those old ass people are in the photos.

 

Neil Young & J.Mascis produced by Daniel Lanois.

 

If not already mentionded a strange dichotomy might arise from the pairing of Neil Young and Van Morrison

 

david crosby and graham nash

or

stephen stills and neil young

 

Marshall Crenshaw & the Smithereens

 

any of these four knuckleheads with Merzbow, otherwise we have plenty of proof they're very hit and miss
