Cool and Unusual Music Collaborations
Two of my all time favourite dance songs are
Don't Give up - Chicane with Bryan Adams
and
Silence - Delirium with Sarah McLachlan
they were pretty cool music collaborations

I also remember Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney's Say Say Say

Halo Benders immediately came to mind, but I don't know if they count since they've already done 3 albums. Calvin Johnson of Beat Happening, Dub Narcotic Sound System, K Records & Doug Martsch of Built to Spill, Treepeople. I remember hearing Canned Oxygen & On a Tip on college radio when they first came out & being totally knocked out. I knew Beat Happening but this was before I'd heard Built to Spill & I imagined it as a regular band doing a regular song with a giant floating Calvin head zooming around & interrupting. Fantastic!
Jad Fair & Daniel Johnston
William S. Burroughs & anyone

But the Halo Benders are all in the same scene and sound the same as each of their respective bands, only worse (in my opinion, but I hate Calvin Johnston).

You could say my Daniel Johnston & Jad Fair collaboration is a bad example too because they are similar - but they are so different from everyone else.
It's an odd topic. Should it just be people about which you'd say, "well, I never thought I'd see THEM together...?" When Eno worked with David Byrne & Talking Heads, they made a lot of cool & unusual music - but it didn't seem strange that they got together...
How about John Lee Hooker & Miles Davis (along with Taj Mahal & others) working together on The Hot Spot soundtrack?

Melvins and Leif Garret covering "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
Melvins and Hank Williams III performing "Ramblin' Man" and "Okie from Muskogee."
All pretty faithful covers from the Melvins' The Crybaby.
Ween did a song with Frente that was really chill and a bit sweet, although I can't remember the name of it (it's at home).
Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and R.L. Burnside aren't too mismatched but their album A Ass Pocket of Whiskey is pretty sharp.
There's more I can't recall...
I still have to pick up Sing Along with Los Straitjackets. They have some interesting guest singers, the oddest being Exene of X.
