This week, we play God (and/or record producer) and dream about which artists would collaborate in a perfect world. Drawing inspiration from the popular "Wheel of Fortune" category "Before & After," we've selected the artists we'd most like to see work together, with the only criterion being some sort of shared name.
Better Than Ezra PoundThis band remembers running through the wet grass and being a major figure in the modernist poetry movement.
Etta James and the Giant PeachLiving with her two evil aunts makes Etta sing the blues. At last - a bildungsroman about one woman's brave journey to a legendary singing career, cultivated within the depths of an enormous fruit.
RuPaul SimonFamous for walking with diamonds on the soles of his/her fabulous shoes.
The Rolling Stone PhillipsWild horses can't drag this stern but somehow gentle band away from their NBC hosting gig.
MaDonna SummerAt first she was afraid (in fact, she was petrified), but after going through countless image reinventions, this material girl was able to stop being so hung up on disco.
Billy Joel OsmentThis child star-turned Piano Man should have had a sixth sense about his impending breakup with Christie Brinkley.
Spin Doctor DreOne, two princes kneel before you. Only one of those princes is smoking pot and NOT selling all his guns.
Badly Drawn Boy GeorgeThis band of Brits is best known for their comeback new wave meets baroque pop album, "Hour of the Karma Chameleon."
Missy Elliott SmithMiss Misery may not miss you like she says she does, but she sure knows how to put her thing down, flip it, and reverse it.
Johnny Cash Money MillionairesPossibly the most bad-ass supergroup of all time, this band would shoot a man in New Orleans just to watch him die. But for real.
