Two artists that you wish would make an album together?

Your selections can include both performance & production, individuals & bands, male & female, young & old, rock & hip-hop and so on...

I'll keep mine simple: Joe Satriani & Steve Vai...

What say you?

Cheers,
Dan

 

Shawn Colvin and Mary Chapin Carpenter

They've talked about doing an album together for years, but now they're not on the same label anymore it's unlikely to happen.

 

Rupert Holmes and Barry Manilow

 

Cerys Matthews & Tom Jones

 

Maybe impossible works?

Miles and Hendrix
or
Hendrix and Miles?

 

An epic, sprawling orchestral guitar suite in multiple intermingling parts by Lindsey Buckingham and Van Dyke Parks.

 

A recent choice; Thomas Walsh/Pugwash with Jeff Lynne. It could be a great album with loads of mellotrons, orchestras and beautiful melodies!
A World Music Choice: Paco de Lucia with Renaud Garcia Fons; the world's best guitar- and upright-bass-player united!

 

Ray Davies and Pete Townshend for a bit of theatrical masterial.

 

Elton John & Jimmy Barnes!

Eric Clapton & Brian Cadd!

Jim Keays & Elton Jon & Billy Joel!

 

It would have been cool for Stuart Copeland and Eddie Vanhalen to record together back in the 80`s
If I could add a 3rd it would be john paul Jones on bass.

 

Gary Numan and Nine Inch Nails. Best part? Apparently it's going to happen!

Maybe Muse and Radiohead, just for the weirdness factor (the two sometimes get compared). I could probably go all day with interesting combinations. Good topic to ponder while you drift off in a boring class or meeting!

 

Carole King and Neil Sedaka

 

Rupert Holmes and Stephen Bishop

 

Chris / Arhoolie beat me to it.

Dave Lombardo and wayne Shorter

 

Iris DeMent and Bill Callahan.

 

Gillian Welch & Neil Young
Brian Wilson & Rufus Wainwright

 

Bowie and Jeff Beck(in lieu of Ronson)

Jackson Brothers and Quincy(better 2 decades ago)

Buckingham and Nicks (without the classic rhythm section. Reissue the 70's duet albums and tour theaters doing deep catalogue)

Copeland/Summers/Sumner

Stevie Wonder and Jeff Beck

Jimmy Page and his ANYTHING new from his guitar.

John Fogerty and THAT rhythm section. They dont have to be int he same room

Dick Dale with an electronic music pioneer guy

I'm STILL waiting for the Vince Gill instrumental album.

Bowie and an orchestra

Somethingm from Scott Walker and his 2 "brothers" while everyone is still alive.

 

That would be fantastic.

Tom Waits & The Pogues

 

How about Tom Waits and Amy Winehouse.

Chris

 

Yep, ain't them underrated?


I'd like Neil Young to make an album with Weezer. I don't know why.

 

Almost happened, but not quite. Could have thrown in James Brown or Sly for good measure.

I'll go for Cecil Taylor and Ornette Coleman. Again, rumored almost to have happened back in the late 70's early 80's. Probably never will.

 

John Frusciante & Cat Power with ?Love on drums.

 

Some twenty years ago before his voice aged, Bryan Ferry, with Robert Fripp in a full collaboration from songwriting to recording, leaving the production to a wide-eyed and experimental Brian Eno.

The Bowie and Fripp recordings turned out rather well... how about a full album?
