Favorite Musician Collab?

[JimmyByrne09]

What is your favorite musician collaboration project/film/album/song/concert of all time?

It can be for any of the above events, (or anything else you can think of), as long as it involves two, or more musicians working together to create a piece of work.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are many musician collabs that I am a fan of, but if I had to choose, I would say it would have to be Jack White and The Rolling Stones performing "Lovin' Cup" at the Rolling Stones Concert that took place in "Shine a Light".

John Schaffer and Hansi Kusch's side project, Demons and Wizards is one of my favorite new collaborations.

 

[Cosmic Harmony]

How about the video for Sam Kinison's cover of "Wild Thing"? It features Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Steven Adler, Steve Vai, Rodney Dangerfield, Rudy Sarzo, Sebastian Bach, Richie Sambora, Jon Bon Jovi, CC Deville, Tommy Lee, Dweezil Zappa, Billy Idol, and Slash.

Got plenty of these. Will start with an old favourite of mine



George Harrison (The Beatles)
Tom Petty (Mudcrutch, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers)
Jeff Lynne (The Move, Electric Light Orchestra)
Bob Dylan
Roy Orbison



Had I not listened to both the albums by the Traveling Wilburys, I'd not have believed that these five men could compliment each other so well. They seemed to come from very different backgrounds, but it works and the Wilburys is at once the essence of all 5 of the artists, and a seperate entity all of it's own. Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 would easily be, for me, the greatest album to come out of the 80's.

Also acted as a resurgence for the 5 artists in a way, with Tom Petty coming out with his biggest album to date commercially, shortly afterwards, with Full Moon Fever, while George Harrison and Roy Orbison had huge hits for the first time in decades with Cloud Nine and Mystery Girl respectively. Jeff Lynne and Bob Dylan were also opened up to a whole new audience.

I'll have more later, that's just the appetizer

Another of my favorites is Alex Lifeson adding some back up guitar, and performing the guitar solos, in Porcupine Tree's "Anesthetize":
